Peach Pie

© Kitchen Princess

Anyone can make a delicious pie if you use frozen pie crust. You can make other pies using apple or pears, too

One pie about 18 cm in diameter. 2 to 4 sheets frozen pie crust dough, 1 can peaches, 2 tablespoons sugar, 1 tablespoon lemon juice, egg

1. Take out the frozen pie crust dough from the freezer and thaw it at room temperature for about 10 minute. Depending on the brand, the thawing time may vary. Check the instructions on the package.
2. Open the peaches and drain in a strainer. Cut the peaches vertically in half, and cut those up in small pieces.
3. Put the peaches, sugar, and lemon juice in a pan. Heat on medium heat and stir with a wooden spoon until the water evaporates. This will take about 5 minutes. It is important to let the water evaporate or the pie will get soggy.
4. Lay the sheet of pie dough in a pie in and trim the excess dough. Poke holes in the base with a fork for air to go through.
5. Place the peaches from step 3 flatly in the pie tin, and surround the outside of the tin with a pie sheet strip of about 1 cm. Place more on top, crossing the strips.
6. Brush some egg onto the surface. This is important, since it helps the crust turn a nice color during baking. Bake the pei at 190 C (375 F) from 20 to 25 minutes. Depending on the oven, the amount of time may vary. Make sure to keep checking the pie so it doesn’t burn.
