I love the fresh peaches in the summer, and I always look forward to making a peach pie.
2 1/4 cup sifted all purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon sugar
3/4 cup butter
1 egg yolk
1/4 cup buttermilk
7 to 8 peaches, peeled and sliced
1 cup sugar, or sweetened to your taste
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
2 tablespoon butter
· Sift flour with salt and sugar. Cut in butter until mixture resembles fine crumbs (don’t be in too much of a hurry here it needs to be very fine.)
· Beat egg yolk; blend in buttermilk. Add to dry ingredients, tossing with fork into a soft dough. Don’t handle any more than you have to for he flakiest crust
· Form the dough into a ball. Flatten on lightly floured surface. Roll to about 1/8 inch thick. Roll crust until it is thin but to where it can still be folded over. Place in baking dish. Let dough hang over sides of baking dish.
· Preheat oven to 450 degrees F.
· Combine peaches, sugar and cinnamon, and pour into dish. Dot with butter. Fold dough over fruit.
· Bake for 30 minutes, or until pleasingly browned!
The most important ingredient for a delicious peach pie is to start with delicious peaches. If they aren’t tasty, your pie won’t be either.
Yummy!!
I’m totally pinning this! We went last weekend to a nearby orchard and got a whole bunch of peaches. I just froze a whole bunch and the ones turning bad I’m planning to make peach preserves with. Looks delicious!
I am soooo pinning this as well! I LOVE baking. I was just posting about how I REALLLLYYY wanted to bake this week but I have had bronchitis and no one wants the coughing girl in the kitchen! Come by and link up at our Wonderful Wednesdays linky party 🙂 Here is the link. Have a good one Anita!

I so want to make this, but while writing it down saw there is a discrepancy. The list says “butter” but the directions say shortening.
Can either be used?
I’m with you on the whole rolling pin/apron thing. I walked down to the mailbox in my apron the other day, and I think the neighbors thought they’d stepped back in time a few decades. You should’ve seen the looks!
This looks soooooooooooooo good. Thanks for the recipe. Hugs, marty
Pinned it and love the picture. Want to try your pie crust. Love your blog. Thanks.

Thank you, I clicked to read this post hoping you would give the recipe, because the picture looked so scrumptious! Texas peach shopping this weekend here I come!
This does look yummy! We can’t find any fresh TX peaches any more. What kind of peaches did you use?
Thanks for sharing your rustic peach pie recipe. It looks delicious!
We have such a short window for fresh peaches here. I wish it lasted longer. THAT looks delicious and I, too, love crusts and any kind of baking- xo Diana

Oh my gosh that looks so YUMMY!!
My very favorite pie is peach pie in any shape or form. Cobbler or pie, doesn’t make a bit of difference – I just love it.
Thanks so much for the recipe – will be trying it.

Anita,
This sounds and looks divinely delicious, dear friend!!!
Here on the Prairie, I’ve always made 2 crut pies. . .but I might have to give this Lone Star State recipe a try!!!
Thanks for sharing the recipe!!!
Fondly,

Peach is my most favorite type of fruit dessert…especially peach cobbler. This pie looks absolutely yummy and the fact that the pie crust is so easy to do makes it even better! Now to find some fresh peaches!!
Pie is hands-down my favorite dessert in the world! Yours looks divine! I’ve tried several different crust recipes and have two favorites. Now I need to try yours…you had me at buttermilk! lol
I’m back to tell you I tried your pie crust recipe this past weekend and it came out fabulous! It was my first pie I have ever made, but hubby didn’t want peaches (after I bought them, lol) so I used granny smith apples for him. I will try peaches (for me) next time and maybe even cherries another. That pie crust is DELICIOUS and so easy to make. Thank you!
