Peaches

We bought a big box of peaches from Costco so I decided to make my first peach pie. Here is the recipe I used:

Fresh Peach Pie

• Dough for 9" Double Crust Pie Crust
• 5 cups peach slices, peeled and pitted (or frozen, see above)
• 1 1/4 cup sugar
• 1/2 cup flour
• 1/2 - 3/4 teaspoon cinnamon or nutmeg to taste
• 1 teaspoon lemon juice
• 2 Tablespoons cold butter, cut in small pieces
• 1 Tablespoon milk or cream for brushing the top crust
• 1 Tablespoon sugar and 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon for dusting the crust

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
2. Roll out the pie crust bottom and tops according to directions leaving enough overhang to fold underneath. Place the bottom pie crust evenly in a 9" pie pan or ceramic pie dish and set aside. Fold the top crust in half and place a towel over it so it doesn't dry out.
3. Toss together gently in a large bowl; peaches, sugar, flour, spices if desired and lemon juice.
4. Fold into prepared pie crust and dot with cold butter.
5. Choose either double crust or lattice crust and follow directions below.
6. Bake for 45-60 minutes or until crust is golden brown and juices are bubbling from vent holes. If the edges start to brown too quickly, place a piece of aluminum foil around the rim.
7. Remove to cooling rack and let cool for 30-60 minutes.
8. Serve Peach Pie à la mode with ice cream or sweetened whipped cream.
9. Refrigerate leftovers if there are any!
10. Makes 1 double crusted pie. Serves 8.

It turned out great, except that when I make it again, I would use one more peach than the recipe calls for.
