How To Make a Spectacular Lattice Work Pie Crust

March 20, 2017 Leave a Comment

I just love throwing dinner parties for family and friends. Each time, the first thing I decide is what we will serve for dessert. My easy peach pie recipe made with frozen peaches.  For some variety, I made a pretty lattice work pie crust top and added a dough cutout – a peach with leaves.

1. Flute the edges of the bottom pie crust.

3. Cut the top crust into strips.

4. Lay the strips across the top, leaving 1 – 2 inches open in between.
5. Weave the remaining strips through the first ones, going the opposite direction, like weaving a basket.
6. Fold the edges under and pinch them, fluting them along with the bottom crust.

7. Peach Cut-out: use a small glass to cut out a circle for the peach. Using a knife, cut two or three leaf-shaped pieces of dough. Place the leaves on an edge of the pie and lay the circle of the leaves onto the part where the leaves meet. Press lightly.

Easy Delicious Peach Pie Recipe

April 23, 2014 3 Comments

When I entertain family and friends I love to make desserts from scratch. This year I have been in the mood to make a yummy peach pie.
First,  made a sour cream peach pie. It tasted great but I wasn’t able to show you a picture of the final product because the filling ran. It wasn’t pretty enough. Our family definitely loved it – this I know, because there wasn’t even a morsel left. Someone must have licked the bottom of the pan when I wasn’t looking–that’s how good it was.
I also made a delicious peach cobbler that was so easy we are sure to have it again real soon!

In searching cookbooks for a different peach pie recipe, I found this easy delicious peach pie recipe with frozen peaches.  This is by far the best peach pie I have ever eaten and it is so easy to make. When you taste it, you will see what I mean. It tastes as if the peaches were just picked off the tree. A frozen peach recipe that tastes like fresh? A dessert lover’s dream come true!
So fastened on my apron and gave it another crack. This time I made a classic peach pie with tapioca, in hopes that I would get a great tasting, great LOOKING peach pie to photograph…and it worked! This pie tastes wonderful and it looks pretty, too! I started with the basic Pillsbury® recipe in my Pillsbury® cookbook with frozen peaches and made a couple of little tweaks.

Tip about the lemon juice*: the peaches seemed tart enough to me so I left the lemon juice out. (Plus many of the comments online supported that decision.) The pie tasted absolutely great without but, next time, I will include the lemon juice. It will be even MORE delicious with that little extra zing.

Amazing Peach Pie

November 26, 2012 Leave a Comment


On special occasions when pie is served in my home, Sarah Lee is the caterer. Her pies are so perfect, why bother with scratch? She does a superb job.

This year I had a little more time on my hands, though, so I daringly ventured where I had never gone before and made a homemade Peach Pie. Peaches and Sour Cream to be exact.

 

Needless to say, it was the one pie with no leftovers at the end of the night. Sarah’s cherry and pumpkin pies were well eaten with some left. Our neighbor sent a delicious dutch apple pie that diminished in size as well. But only the peach pie was GONE! I suppose it was because it was different, not that Sarah Lee had dropped the ball.  This peach pie tasted really really good.

 

Before I share the recipe, let me confess that I did not make the crust from scratch. I used an All-Ready Pie Crust. That is as close to homemade as you’re going to get.  What I never had successfully achieved was how to flute the edges of a pie crust. It never looked right.

 

Ingredients and my freshly fluted pie crust! Yes!

So, I hopped over to You Tube and found an easy-to-follow video that taught me everything I needed to know. Video below…

I did it myself, after watching this short video to learn how!
(If you are reading this in an email, click on the title to go to the website where you can view it.)

Now for the Sour Cream Peach Pie Recipe
Recipe originally posted on All-Recipes but adjusted a bit by me.

Ingredients

1 All Ready Pie Crust
4 -5 cups sliced peaches
3/4 cup sour cream
1/3 cup plus 1 T. flour
1/2 cup white granulated sugar
1/4 cup brown sugar
Directions
Preheat oven to 425°.
  • Blend together sour cream, white sugar, 1/3 cup flour and almond (or vanilla) extract until smooth.
  • Dust the pie crust with 1 tablespoon of flour. It protects the pie crust from becoming mushy from the peaches.
  • Alternate layers of peaches and the sour cream mixture. Start with a layer of peaches and finish with a layer of sour cream.
  • Bake in a preheated oven at 425° for 20 minutes. Reduce the heat to 350°.
  • Bake for an additional 35 minutes at that lower heat. Remove the pie from the oven and sprinkle brown sugar on top. Put the pie back in the oven on BROIL for 1 minute or until caramelized.


Unroll the pie crust

Flute & dust with flour

Combine sour cream, flour, sugar and extract.

Put in one layer of peaches

Top with sour cream topping.

Add a second layer of peaches and complete with sour cream topping.

Bake.

Sprinkle baked pie with brown sugar and briefly heat on broil.

Now, this pie was so popular that I was unable to get a photo of a slice on a plate. Soon as I would dish one up, it would vanish! Empty plate. When I make my next peach pie, I will update my post with a visual.

Needless to say, it looks great and tastes AMAZING!
