Georgia Peach Pie Recipe

Ingredients

3 lbs. fresh peaches or 4 cups frozen sliced peaches
1 T. lemon juice
1 cup plus 1 T. sugar, divided
2 T. instant tapioca
2 unbaked refrigerated or frozen pie pastries
1 T. butter
1 T. milk

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Peel and slice peaches. Place peaches in a large measuring cup.
Add lemon juice, 1 cup sugar and tapioca; toss to mix. Fit 1 pie pastry into a 9" pie plate. Spoon in peach mixture. Dot with butter.
Cut remaining pie pastry into thin strips. Arrange in a lattice fashion over pie.
Brush lattice with milk; sprinkle with remaining sugar. Bake pie for 50 minutes or until golden brown. Serve warm or at room temperature.
Hint: Peeling peaches can be a breeze. Place all the peaches in a large bowl. Pour 3 quarts boiling water over the peaches. After about 30 seconds, remove the peaches with a slotted spoon and refresh under cold water. The skins will slip right off.
