Our first and final celebration of peach season was celebrated just shortly after Labor Day here in the states. It’s still very warm here in the south east region, so it only felt appropriate to bake something simple & delicious from our last batch of peaches before we close the book of summer 2023.
Recipe:
Your favorite pie dough recipe
1lb peaches, peeled and sliced
2 tablespoons of cornstarch
1/3 cup of granulated sugar (I use organic cane sugar)
1/3 teaspoon of salt
1/3 teaspoon of cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon of allspice
1/4 teaspoon of vanilla extract
2 tablespoons of lemon juice
Lemon zest
Directions:
Heat oven to 350°F
After preparing pie crust, lightly toss together fruit & cornstarch until combined. Let rest for 5 minutes.
Gently, incorporate salt, spices, vanilla extract, lemon juice, and zest.
Fill pie crust while taking care to pinch dough closed.
Bake for 45-55 minutes
Serve warm w/ vanilla ice cream!
