PEACH PIE
Steps:
- Combine 2 1/2 pounds peach wedges with 3/4 cup light brown sugar, the juice of 1 lemon, 2 tablespoons quick-cooking tapioca, 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract, 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon, 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Pour into pie shell; dot with 4 tablespoons butter.
- Perfect All-Butter Piecrust
- Pulse 3 1/2 cups flour, 1/4 cup sugar and 1 teaspoon salt in a food processor. Add 1 diced stick cold butter; process until combined. Add 2 more diced sticks cold butter; pulse three times, or until the mixture resembles coarse meal. Add 1 tablespoon white or cider vinegar. Gradually pour in 1/3 cup ice water, pulsing about four times until combined. Turn out onto a clean surface and press into a cohesive dough without overworking (you should see bits of butter). Wrap in plastic wrap and press into a 1-inch-thick disk; refrigerate at least 1 hour before rolling out.
- How to Make a Pie
- Divide the chilled dough in half; roll 1 piece into a 12-inch, 1/8-inch-thick circle on a lightly floured surface (refrigerate the other piece).
- Roll the dough onto a rolling pin, then unroll it into a 9-inch glass pie plate, letting it hang over the edge; add filling (see options above).
- Roll out the other piece of dough and place over the filling; press the crust edges together and trim, leaving a 1-inch overhang. Roll up or pinch the overhang to seal.
- Place a foil-lined baking sheet on a rack in the lower third of the oven; preheat to 450 degrees. Wrap an oiled, wide band of foil around the pie edge to protect the crust. Make slashes in the top of the crust; chill for 30 minutes.
- Reduce the oven to 400 degrees. Bake the pie for 30 minutes. Remove the foil band, brush the crust with heavy cream and sprinkle with sugar. Bake until golden brown, about 30 minutes; cool before slicing.
PEACH PIE
I acquired this delicious peach pie filling recipe some 40 years ago, when my husband and I first moved to southern Iowa and had peach trees growing in our backyard. It's been a family favorite since then and always brings back memories of both summer and those happy early years. - June Mueller, Sioux City, Iowa

Tips:
- Use a combination of ripe and slightly underripe peaches for the best flavor and texture.
- Peel the peaches easily by immersing them in boiling water for 30 seconds, then transfer them to an ice bath. The skins will slip right off.
- Don't overwork the pie dough, or it will become tough. Mix the ingredients until they just come together, then wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before rolling it out.
- Use a sharp knife to slice the peaches thinly. This will help them cook evenly in the pie.
- Don't overfill the pie crust, or the filling will bubble over during baking. Leave about 1 inch of space around the edges of the crust.
- Bake the pie in a preheated oven until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling. This usually takes about 45 minutes.
- Let the pie cool for at least 2 hours before serving. This will allow the filling to set and the crust to firm up.
