CHERRY BERRY PEACH PIE

• Mix peaches, cherries, blueberries, and lemon juice together in a large bowl. Add 1/2 cup white sugar, brown sugar, flour, cinnamon, and salt; stir to coat. Pour fruit mixture into the prepared pie crust. Weave a lattice top over the fruit filling using the pie crust strips. Brush top crust with milk; sprinkle with about 1 teaspoon white sugar.

PEACH PIE THE OLD FASHIONED TWO CRUST WAY

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F (220 degrees C).
• Line the bottom and sides of a 9 inch pie plate with one of the pie crusts. Brush with some of the beaten egg to keep the dough from becoming soggy later.
• Place the sliced peaches in a large bowl, and sprinkle with lemon juice. Mix gently. In a separate bowl, mix together the flour, sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg and salt. Pour over the peaches, and mix gently. Pour into the pie crust, and dot with butter. Cover with the other pie crust, and fold the edges under. Flute the edges to seal or press the edges with the tines of a fork dipped in egg. Brush the remaining egg over the top crust. Cut several slits in the top crust to vent steam.
• Bake for 10 minutes in the preheated oven, then reduce the heat to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) and bake for an additional 30 to 35 minutes, until the crust is brown and the juice begins to bubble through the vents. If the edges brown to fast, cover them with strips of aluminum foil about halfway through baking. Cool before serving. This tastes better warm than hot.

APRICOT & PEACH PIE USING FRESH FRUITS

Steps:

• Line a 9 inch glass pie dish with one floured crust. I use a commercial, refrigerated, boxed crust that I have brought to room temperature before unrolling and flouring it. Home-made crusts might work even better. Set the 2nd crust aside to top the pie before baking.
• In a large bowl, mix the sugar and flour; then add the pealed, sliced peaches and apricots,and lemon juice. Mix well; then pour onto the 1st pie crust.
• Dice butter into small cubes and arrange atop the filling.
• Place 2nd crust on top of the filling. Crimp the edges of the crust together; then, use a knife to cost 4-5 one inch long air holes to prevent filling from over flowing as it bakes.
• Place the pie onto a pizza pan to catch drips. Bake pie at 350 degrees for 1 hour or slightly longer if you desire a darker crust. Serve warm or cold with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream as you prefer. It is even great plain! Enjoy!
