The Pie Hole

chippedbowl:

I love peaches.  They are my favorite fruit, and this is my favorite pie.

The crust has the perfect level of sweetness, and is super easy to make. Feel free to use this crust for other pies, too.

What I love about this recipe is that you don’t have to peal the peaches before you add them to the filling.  The skin adds a great flavor and color to this pie.

The hardest part of this pie is rolling out the crust topping and making slices to put on top of your filling.  But trust me, you can handle it.   

And even if your pie does not look perfect because you are not an artist, it will still taste amazing.
