What says summer more than peach pie and a visit from the NY cousins? Much fun was had by all in Calgary this August as we had a 3 week visit with Twin 'A''s family. One great adventure involved going to Heritage Park. Everyone loved all the animals, the train and the rides. Black Dog Grandma and Grandpa treated us to a special lunch at the Hotel Restaurant at Heritage Park and everyone used their best manners.
Peaches are one of the favourite summer fruits around our house, but while we had this 'extra' family living under our stairs, the peaches hadn't come in yet from BC. The weather in Western Canada had been a little unusual this summer and thus the peaches weren't ready. We've been eating fresh peaches for a few days since I bought a huge box, but now too many peaches are ripe at once. What to do with all those yummy juicy peaches? I made the peach pie today... more for us to gobble up since we don't have to share with the family living under the stairs!!!

Ingredients:
10 fresh peaches, pitted and sliced
1/3 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup white sugar
1/4 cup butter
1 recipe pastry for a 9 inch double crust pie
Directions:
Mix flour, sugar and butter into crumb-y texture.
Place one crust in the bottom of a 9 inch pie plate. Line the shell with some sliced peaches. Sprinkle some of the butter mixture on top of the peaches, then put more peaches on top of the the crumb mixture. Continue layering until both the peaches and crumbs are gone.
Top with second pie crust or cut pie crust into lattice strips and crisscross on top of pie.
Bake at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for 45 minutes, or until crust is golden. Allow pie to cool before slicing. Best when eaten fresh.
