After completing a year of cookies and a year of cakes, it’s time to tackle the pie community. Pie is known as the most American dessert, thus the saying “as American as apple pie”. Once a week, I will hang out in my kitchen with recipe in hand and utensils nearby, to fill my pie plate with hopefully something delicious. Travel with me throughout this year on this pie adventure. Rolling pin, get ready to roll! It will be “as easy as pie!”

Pie Recipe #20 - Frozen Peach Pie
A cool, refreshing slice of creamy peach pie is the reward at the end of an overheated summer day. The hardest part of this recipe is waiting the 4 or more hours for it to freeze.
Ingredients: 2 (9-ounce) pre-made graham cracker pie crusts OR 2 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs, 1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons butter, melted, and 1/4 cup granulated sugar. Filling: 1 can (14 ounces) sweetened condensed milk, 1/4 cup lemon juice, 1/4 cup orange juice, 1 package (16 ounces) frozen unsweetened sliced peaches, 1 tablespoon grated lemon peel, 1 1/2 cups heavy whipping cream.
Instructions: In a small bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, butter and sugar; press onto the bottom and up the sides of two greased 9-inch pie plates. Bake at 350 degrees for 10-12 minutes or until lightly browned. Cool on wire racks (If you are using the pre-made crusts, omit this part).
In a blender or food processor, combine milk, lemon juice, orange juice, peaches and lemon peel; cover and process until smooth. Transfer to a large bowl. In another large bowl, beat cream until stiff peaks form; fold into peach mixture. Spoon into crusts. Cover and freeze for at least 4 hours or until firm. Remove from the freezer 15 minutes before serving.
