Easy Summer Peach Pie

August is here, peaches are in season and just ripe enough for picking! Local orchards are great for peach picking and rounding out your summer adventures. Often times they have children’s activities, food trucks, farm animals and pick your own fruit. If you don’t have children in tow, you may want to explore whether or not your local orchard has a brewery on site or offers local cider. If picking your own fruit isn’t for you, you can always pick up some fresh fruit from your nearest commissary! Either way, it’s a wonderful time for fresh fruit and especially peach pie! Try this for an afternoon snack or a special dessert.

Ingredients:

• 8 Ripe Peaches
• 1 Deep Dish Pie Crust
• 1 Pie Crust Top
• 1/2 cup White Sugar
• 1/4 cup Dark Brown Sugar
• 2 Tbsp Orange Juice
• 1/2 tsp Cinnamon
• 1/2 cup Flour
• 3 Tbsp Butter cut into Pats
• 1 Egg Whisked with 1 tsp of Water

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Combine dry ingredients and mix well. Mix peaches and orange juice, then add dry ingredients to peach mixture and toss to coat. Place the peach mixture into your deep dish pie crust. Put butter on top of peaches and cover with the top pie crust. Pinch crusts together, brush egg wash on top, cut slits in top for venting and cover edges with foil to avoid darkening. Bake for approximately 45 minutes and let cool for one hour. Enjoy!
