Peach Pie

The peaches in my farmers market basket this week were so fragrant, I had to make a dessert with them. This pie is very simple; the piecrust is the same one I use for chicken pot pie. The peaches were so sweet, I didn’t have to add much sugar to them. It’s the perfect foil for vanilla ice cream. Andy declared this his new favorite. Enjoy!
