1. Peach Pie with Flaky Butter Crust

There’s something so comforting about peach pie, especially when the crust is buttery enough to flake under the fork. Every time I bake this pie, I’m reminded of slow summer afternoons when life felt softer and sweeter. Fresh peaches bubbling under a golden crust bring a warmth that fills the home in a way no candle ever could. It’s a pie that makes you pause, breathe, and savor the simple joy of homemade dessert. The aroma alone feels like a memory—sunny, tender, and filled with quiet happiness.

Ingredients

For the crust:

• 2½ cups all-purpose flour
• 1 cup cold unsalted butter, cubed
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 tablespoon sugar
• 6–8 tablespoons ice water

For the filling:

• 6 cups sliced peaches
• ¾ cup sugar
• ¼ cup cornstarch
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon vanilla
• ½ teaspoon cinnamon
• ¼ teaspoon salt

Steps

Step 1: Combine flour, salt, and sugar, then cut in the cold butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Add ice water slowly until the dough comes together. This dough is what creates that perfect tender flake, the kind that shatters slightly when you cut into the pie, giving the whole dessert a feeling of craftsmanship and love.

Step 2: Divide the dough, wrap, and chill. Resting helps the butter firm up, ensuring the crust becomes beautifully layered in the oven. Chilling also gives you a moment to breathe and enjoy the gentle rhythm of baking, letting the kitchen slow down around you.

Step 3: Toss the peaches with sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice, vanilla, cinnamon, and salt. As you stir, the peaches soften and release their juices, creating a glossy, fragrant mixture that already feels like summertime in a bowl.

Step 4: Roll out the dough, fill the pie dish, and pour in the peach filling. The softness of the peaches settles into the crust, promising a warm, juicy bake. Cover the pie, seal the edges, and cut vents to let the steam release naturally.

Step 5: Bake until golden and bubbling. The aroma fills the kitchen with buttery warmth and sweet fruitiness, almost like a gentle reminder of the sweetness that comes from slowing down and enjoying homemade things. Let it cool so the filling sets beautifully.
