Fresh Peach Pie



This is my friend Jana's pie recipe.  I tried it a few years ago and love making it every time I have fresh peaches.  I am sure you can make it with canned ones too but I never have.  It really is so easy to make and unbelievably delicious!

9" baked pie shell, cooled I just got one at the Wal-Marts because I wanted it right NOW.

5-6 large peaches

1 cup sugar

3 heaping tablespoons corn starch

1/2 cup water

2 tablespoons butter

1/2 teaspoon almond extract

Take 3 large peaches and wash and peel them. Slice peaches into the bottom of your pie crust.

Next, mash 2-3 peaches, depending on size. I usually mash 3 medium sized peaches.

Add the sugar, corn starch & water...you need heaping tablespoons of the corn starch like this:  I am even using her pictures.  Thanks Jana!

 Then mix it all together. It will look like this when your done.

Thicken in the microwave. Mine usually takes 6 minutes all-together. Make sure you stir it after every 2 minutes. You will know when it is ready because it turns from a watery milky-looking mess to a beautiful translucent pie filling!

Now add the butter and almond extract. Do not skip the almond.

Pour the thicken pie filling over the cut up peaches.

Refrigerate until set & cooled. 

Enjoy!
