I hardly ever bake, much less when it's 95 degrees outside and not much cooler inside. Colorado summer days can be quite hot but we're a mile closer to the sun, right? Those hot days lead to a great peach crop harvested on the Western Slope of Colorado and eagerly awaited by all of us on the other side of the Continental Divide. I was so hyped up by all the TV ads showing luscious ripe fruit that I made a peach pie. But since I hadn't planned ahead and let the peaches ripen for a few days I had to wrestle those babies to get them sliced and pitted. There are no severed fingertips in the photo below.
So I decorated the top real cute with these fancy cutters I got at Williams-Sonoma.
It was a pretty good pie and probably the last thing I'll bake 'till Thanksgiving. But who wants to think about that? For now I'll enjoy the summer heat and the last peach which is now ripe.
Peachy!

Yum, that looks so good. I am a big pie person (no pun intended). On my birthdays I ask for pie, not cake. My favorites are blueberry and apple, but I've been known to enjoy a slice of peach or two.
How wonderful! that looks delicious. Wish I could have joined in the peachy party. I love your pie crust art!
Beautiful pie! Now I'm going in search of those cutters! Blessings!
Garden, for me it's all about the crust! The filling is optional! I live the idea of birthday pie.
Deanne, It was fun using those cutouts. I have some Thanksgiving ones too which I'm looking forward to using. Turkeys!
Carol, hope you found them!
I never bake either...I'd rather be in the garden... but this pie is calling to me! The cutest pie I have ever seen!! Kudos!
I never had a peach pie. That looks yummy!
