I don't usually love pies, but this filling was scrumptious. Citrusy and sticky! I used frozen peaches without a problem. -
This pie was good even with store bought pie crust, frozen peaches. I also added about 1 tsp of cinnamon and used 3/4 cup of sugar as DH likes things a little sweeter and turned out really tasty. Thanks for recipe, putting this one in my cookbook as i'll use this one again. -
Used frozen peaches and it still turned out great... not watery at all. Great recipe! -
Excellent traditional peach pie recipe! I used 8 fresh peaches from Durbin Farms, Alabama and just under 1/2 c sugar. After another reviewer's tip, added cinnamon and nutmeg but the lemon zest really brought out the flavor of the fruit and the flour acted as a thickener. This recipe is all about the fresh fruit taste, not overly sweet or with added custards or caramel, just peach - DELISH. I also made a rustic pie using only a bottom crust (no top) for fewer calories & carbs. -
Wonderful crust! Did not use the pie recipe, but instead used this crust with the Fresh Peach Brown Sugar Pie found on this site. Yummm. UPDATE: Again, such a wonderful crust! This time, used the pie recipe today as well, adding 1/4 cup brown sugar, 1/2 tsp cinnamon and a pinch of nutmeg to the filling. Yummy, yummy, yummy

I'm a full-time student at a University of Wisconsin campus, with a double major in Sociology and History. I have three adorable children, ages 9 yrs, 5 yrs, and our 2 yr old son. My nine yr old is in third grade. My 5 yr old is is in kindergarten. My littlest one is pleasantly plump. ;) We also have 2 cats.

I also really like sewing. I make @ 1/3 of my daughters clothes. Reading is also a BIG staple in my life. One of my favorite ways to find a book is to walk into the library, pick a shelf and simply grab a book at random. I've read so many great books I probably wouldn't have found out any other way.
I also like to camp and fish with my DH. He eats, sleeps and breathes fishing. He would like to one day start his own company, he hand ties and sells fishing lures locally. And he loves my cooking and will try anything at least once. ;)
He works as a pressman at a local printing company.
