My oh my... peach pie!

Last weekend, I endeavored on my first peach pie. Lovebug is a big fan of any type of fruit dessert, but he especially loves pies. We'd recently been getting some excellent peaches from the store, so I figured what better time to make peach pie than ate their peak?

I started out by making my go-to pie crust, Pioneer Woman's. This time, instead of mixing it by hand, i mixed it together in the Kitchenaid. I didn't feel like taking extra time doing it by hand. I feel that it still turned out ok, but I think it was a little less flaky because of the lack of hand mixing.

When I was searching for a recipe for peach pie, I was surprised by the lack thereof on the blogs that I frequent. The few that did have peach pies featured some type of custard pie and Lovebug can't have that. I needed something traditional that required no dairy. I ended up finding one to try from the blog Bake at 350. Not only did it look good, I thought it had a fitting name: Texas-Style Peach Pie.


The pie came together relatively easy. After making the crust, I peeled and sliced the peaches. The peaches were combined with flour, sugar, lemon juice, and a few other ingredients. I dumped this delicious combo (yes, it was good just like this -- I thought about eating the middle and making more!) and then took my first stab at creating a lattice top. It was pretty easy, in my opinion, although I'm not sure that it was as perfect as other lattice pies I have seen, it still had the look of a braid/weave and I was pretty happy with the result.




After it baked, we let it set up for a bit before cutting and serving. We served the pie warm with vanilla frozen yogurt and I feel it was a giant success!


To life... full of summertime peach pies!
