Fresh Peach Pie Recipe

Ingredients

1 cooked pastry pie crust (or gingersnap or graham cracker crust or combo of the two)
2 C fresh, sliced fresh peaches (I used a larger pie plate so I probably used more like 3-4, you want to fill your pie plate)
1/4 C sugar
1 Tbsp fresh lemon juice
orange juice (about 1 cup)
3 Tbsp cornstarch
2 Tbsp butter
1/4 tsp almond extract
dash salt
Whipped cream for topping

Preparation

Step 1

Skin peaches and slice and sprinkle them with sugar and lemon juice. Let stand one hour. Drain juice off peaches, there should be approximately 1 cup juice, if not (I only had about 1/3 cup) add enough orange juice to make a total of 1 cup.

Add syrup/juice mixture to cornstarch and blend. Cook until thick and then add butter, almond extract and salt. Cool. Add mixture to peaches and gently stir. Place peaches in pastry pie shell. Refrigerate and serve with whipped cream.
