Peach Pie — RachiePie

One of my favorite fruits are peaches and I truly believe there’s nothing better than eating a sweet peach on a hot summer day! As much as I love to bake, I have never tried to make a pie. Homemade pie crust has always scared me, and I prefer to bake things like cookies, cakes and brownies. However, with peaches in full swing at the farmer’s market a couple weeks ago, I decided to take a shot at my first homemade pie crust and bake a peach pie. I used this recipe for the crust and this recipe for the pie filling.

I can honestly say after this experience, I’m STILL scared of homemade pie crust! Ha! I found the dough to be really dry and difficult to manage. And I’m pretty sure I did not cut the butter into the dough correctly and will have to do a bit more research on the proper technique. Although my pie will not win any beauty contests, it actually tasted really good. I just scooped a large helping of ice-cream on top and you could barely notice my less-than-perfect pie crust!
