This morning I asked my husband, "Should I make peach salsa or a pie?" He looked at me with an expression that said, "Why is this even a question?"
Pie it is.
This was the first time I made a peach pie in my life. In the theme of "everything is better when it's baked in a pie," I just have to say that this was fabulous. It might even tie apple as my all time favorite pie flavor. I used my standard pie crust recipe but decreased the salt to 1 teaspoon from 1.5 because the apple pie I made a week or so ago was a little salty. I sliced 5 cups of peaches and mixed in half a cup of confectioner's sugar, 1/3 cup of flour and half a teaspoon of cinnamon. I used the same baking times and temperatures as the apple pies: cover the pie and bake 15 minutes at 425, then 15 minutes at 375, then remove the foil and bake another 30-40 minutes at 375.
Perfection!

Look at that nice and flaky crust! |
Perfection!
Looks good! Peach pie sounds like a good idea but the peaches are high here right now.
