Peach Pie

Here's an old-fashioned recipe for peach cream pie. It's an easy recipe using sliced peaches, whipping cream, sugar, flour and a dash of almond extract. Once the pie comes out of the oven, it is topped with toasted almonds, making it a sweet and crunchy dessert and a great way to enjoy fresh summer peaches.

Servings: 6

Ingredients: Pie crust for a 9-inch pie pan 5 to 6 ripe peaches, peeled, sliced, pits removed (a little over 3 cups) 3/4 cup granulated sugar 3 rounded tablespoons of flour 2/3 cup heavy cream 3 drops almond extract 1/4 teaspoon salt 1/2 cup sliced, toasted almonds

Instructions: Line your pie pan with a pie crust and set aside. Now pack the pie pan with the prepared peaches. In a medium sized bowl combine the sugar, flour and a dash of salt. Add the cream and almond extract and stir until well blended. Pour the cream mixture over the peaches in the pie pan and bake in a preheated 400 degree F oven for 35 to 40 minutes or until set. When the pie is done, the cream will be thick and smooth and will solidify even more as it cools. Sprinkle the toasted almonds over the top and serve just barely warm. A Summer Poem There's a bright golden haze on the meadow There's a bright golden haze on the meadow The corn is as high as an elephant's eye, An' it looks like it's climbin' clear up to the sky. Oh, what a beautiful mornin', Oh, what a beautiful day. I got a beautiful feelin' Ev'rything's goin' my way. All the cattle are standin' like statues All the cattle are standin' like statues They don't turn their heads as they see me ride by, But a little brown mav'rick is winkin' her eye. Oh, what a beautiful mornin', Oh, what a beautiful day. I got a beautiful feelin' Ev'rything's goin' my way. All the sounds of the earth are like music All the sounds of the earth are like music The breeze is so busy it don't miss a tree, And a ol' weepin' willer is laughin' at me! Oh, what a beautiful mornin', Oh, what a beautiful day. I got a beautiful feelin' Ev'rything's goin' my way. Oh, what a beautiful day!
