  4. Add the thickener of your choice and stir to coat the peaches.
  5. Pour the peaches into the piecrust.
  6. Add the top crust and make slits for the steam to escape.
  7. Bake for 35 to 45 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling. You might need to carefully broil for a few minutes to get that perfect golden brown.

  1. You can peel the peaches as they are, or blanch them in hot water for 30 to 40 seconds, then put them in a bowl of cold water to cool before peeling.
