Ingredients
- 6 medium Peaches
- 2 tablespoons All-purpose flour (Quantity estimated (not specified in original recipe))
- 1/2 cup Granulated sugar (Adjust to taste based on peach sweetness.)
- 10 each Peach kernels (optional) (Pounded fine for almond flavor. Use almond extract as a substitute (1/4 teaspoon).)
- 1 package Pie crust (Prepared or homemade, enough for a double-crust pie.)
- 3 large Egg whites (For meringue topping.)
- 4 tablespoons Powdered sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon Cream of tartar
Instructions
- 1Peel, pit, and slice the peaches. Place the sliced peaches in a bowl.
- 2Line a deep pie plate with the bottom crust. Sprinkle the bottom crust with flour. Arrange the sliced peaches over the bottom crust. Sprinkle sugar over the peaches. If using, add the pounded peach kernels (or almond extract). Top with the remaining crust, creating crossbars of dough across the top.
- 3Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake for 30 minutes. If desired, prepare meringue topping by whipping egg whites until stiff, then sweeten with powdered sugar and cream of tartar. Spread over the pie and return to the oven until the meringue is set and golden brown, about 5-10 minutes. Let cool completely before serving.
