Ingredients:
4or 5 cups of fresh fruit
2 tablespoons lemon juice
¾ cup sugar
4 tablespoons flour
2 tablespoons butter
Pastry for 2 crust pie
Peel, pit and slice peaches about ½ inch thick. Place peaches in bowl, add the lemon juice. Combine the flour with the sugar. Add the butter and toss.
Pastry for Two-Crust Pie:
(9 inch)
2 cups sifted flour
2/3 cups shortening or 1/3 cup buyer and ½ cup vegetable shortening
¼ cup cold water, approximately
Sift the flour. Stir together with a fork. Add the butter and shortening and cut it through the flour with a fork: or rub between the fingers until the mixture is in pieces about the size of a pea. Add water a few drops at a time and toss the mixture with a fork to combine the water evenly. The dough should not be wet, but just moistened enough to hold together in a ball. Chill the dough in the refrigerator 15 to 30 minutes if it seems too soft.
Take out slightly more than half of the dough for the under crust or, if you want a thinner top crust, take nearly two thirds for the under crust. Roll it out, fit it into the pie pan, and trim the edge. Roll out the upper crust. Fill the lower crust, moisten the edge, place the top crust on, cut steam vents, and trim and crimp the edges.
Pre-heat Oven 350 degrees:.
Bake the pie for about 45-50 minutes, until the crust becomes a beautiful color.
This is a delicious seasonal pie. Serve with fresh whip cream, ice cream or just as it is!
Thank you James, for helping me in the kitchen! The pie was delicious!
Enjoy with Love,

Doing this tonight...I just brought home peaches, which are by far my favorite fruit. Thanks...now I will head to the kitchen after copying this off.

You should call this Temptation Peach Pie. It has that look about it. It seems lighter than pies usually do.
I invite you to share this with us at the linky, Bake with Bizzy.

yummy looking pie
Grace says
I like pie the best - way better than cake, or brownies, certainly way better than cookies. Pie, fruit pie, My Oh My - PIE! (Cobbler too!)
I haven't had a decent peach in decades - guess you have to go pick them yourself!
Rita says
Been a long time since I had peach pie; now I have the urge to try this recipe Catherine.

Very timely... We just bought a big batch of peaches over the weekend. Missouri has some of the best ones over this year, not sure why, but a great crop came in
Elle Audrey Marie says
OH goodness, I am craving a peach right now, and I don't care it it's $3 each. I always savor the crust, it is my favorite part about a pie, I do the same with good pizza, I take all the toppings off, eat that separately.. I'm so weird.
The Harried Cook says
Beautiful pie... James Beard has some fantastic recipes, doesn't he? You've done such a fabulous job with this pie... I looks lovely, light & moist... Delicous!

That looks great! Perfect for this time of year.

Catherine, That is just a beautiful pie! Peach is the best fruit pie...with a little homemade ice cream. It's a good thing that my wife doesn't do pies...I'd gain another 50 lbs! Take Care, Big Daddy Dave

Is it wrong to love someone for their cooking? If it is, I don't wanna be right. Why, for peach pie like that I'd ...
