You can't believe a word I say. I said I wouldn't post more pie photos, but last night's Colorado peach pie was so delicious I can't resist.
The Filling for a 9-Inch Pie
Four heaping cups of sliced Colorado peaches (3 to 5 peaches, depending on their size)
1/2 cup sugar
2 1/2 tablespoons cornstarch
1/4 teaspoon almond extract
No need to peel the peaches, just wash them and cut them up. Mix the sugar and cornstarch together in a measuring cup, then mix with the peaches. Stir in the almond extract.
For the crust, see Pie Crust 101, July 31, 2012. (See how flaky the crust is in the photo above.)
I baked this pie at 400ยบ for 45 minutes. Your oven may vary. Just watch for the filling to bubble in the center – that's when it's done.
Hooray for big, juicy, delicious Colorado peaches! They are one of every summer's high points. Look for them in the market around August 1 every year.

Shirley's right! That pie was delicious. One of the many benefits of being a neighbor of the Domers. Thanks for sharing!
