Items you will need!!

PIE CRUST

2 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
2/3 cup shortening

4 tablespoons cold water

Combine flour and salt in medium bowl

 Cut in shortening with pastry blender or two knives until mixture is crumbly.

Sprinkle with water; blend until mixture holds together.

Shape dough into ball cut it in half and put one of the
halves aside this will later be placed on top of the pie as your pie crust.

PIE FILLING
5 cups of sliced pealed peaches.

1 cup sugar
1/3-1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/4-1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

Pinch of nutmeg (Optional)
2 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons sugar

Stir together flour, 1 cup sugar, nutmeg and cinnamon and set aside.

 Wash, peel, and slice fresh peaches.

Mix together peaches with the combined dry ingredients.

Turn into pastry-lined pie pan and dot with butter.

Get your other half of pastry you set aside earlier. Roll out on a lightly floured surface until an 1/8 of an inch thick. Place it over the top of the pie and cut slits in it, seal the edges. I put a little bit of the pie filling glaze on the top of the pie also you can do that if you want to but its optional.
Bake at 425' F for 35-45 minutes or until crust is brown and juice begins to bubble through the slits in the crust.

YUMMY! Serve with ice cream and enjoy!
