At last...I have accomplished something that I never thought I would. It may not be a big deal to some, but it's something that has weighed heavily on me for years. My mom had always wanted me to learn how to make a pie from scratch...she would call me whenever she was making a pie and ask me to come over and watch her...but it seems I was always too busy, and said I would come the next time...well, then one day, there wasn't a "next" time and she was gone. I know that I had tried to make a pie once when Nolan and I first got married, but it was a complete disaster...and I just never tried it again. It always seemed easier to just by a ready-made or frozen one.
Well...last night, I decided it was time to get back in the "pie" saddle (so to speak). I had bought a couple baskets of peaches at the farmers market and wanted peach pie. So after processing the peaches (removing skins and slicing them), it was time to make the crust. Surprisingly...I actually had enough peaches to make two pies, so I froze half to use later. I just followed the pie crust recipe on the back of the Crisco box and it was easy. The dough just rolled out beautifully! Needless to say...the pie is gone, LOL!!
All the lovely peaches, mmmmm...
The top dough added...ready for the oven!
Out of the oven and ready to eat!!
