Holle’s Georgia Peach Pie
What you’ll need:
5 cups fresh peaches, peeled and thinly sliced
1 cup sugar
3 tablespoons plain white flour
½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
¼ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon vanilla
¼ teaspoon melted butter
2 pie crusts
Directions:
For your pie to turn out great, be sure to choose fully ripe peaches. Peel them with a paring knife or use this method:
Half fill a large bowl with ice and water. Fill a large stock pot half full of water and bring to a boil. While the water is heating, thoroughly wash the peaches. Cut an X in the bottom of each peach. The bottom is the end with the point. When the water comes to a rolling boil, drop in the peaches. Let them blanch for 45 seconds. Remove the fruits from the boiling water and plunge immediately into the ice water bath. After the peaches have been in the ice water for 45 seconds, remove them. The skins should slip off easily.
Place the 5 cups of sliced peaches in a large bowl. Combine with the sugar, flour, cinnamon, salt, and vanilla.
Pour the contents of the bowl into a pie crust.
Drizzle melted butter over the peach mixture.
Top with lattice or with another crust. If you use an entire crust on top, cut several small vents into it with a sharp knife point. Crimp the edges of the crusts together.
Bake at 400 degrees for 50 minutes.
