Polka Dot Peach Pie

SERVES: 6

COOK TIME: 45 Min

There's nothing quite like the taste of fresh peaches, and with this easy-as-pie crust that's decorated with a polka dot design with the cap from a bottle of pop, peach pie will surely be tops on your list!

What You'll Need

5 large ripe peaches, peeled and sliced (see Notes)
1/2 cup sugar
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
3 tablespoons butter, melted
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 (15-ounce) package rolled refrigerated pie crust

What to Do

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. In a large bowl, combine all ingredients except the pie crust; mix well.
Unroll one pie crust and place in a 9-inch pie plate, pressing crust firmly into plate. Spoon peach mixture into crust.
Place remaining pie crust on a flat surface and cut fifteen 1-inch circles from the center, forming polka dots, leaving a 1-inch border around the edge. Place remaining crust over peach mixture. Pinch together and trim the edges to seal and flute, if desired.
Bake 35 to 40 minutes, or until golden and bubbly. Let cool and serve.

Notes

If fresh peaches aren't in season or available, you can use a 16-ounce package of frozen sliced peaches in place of the fresh. And if you'd like, 8 to 10 of the round cut-outs can be stirred into the filling before spooning it into the crust. This forms little "dumplings" as the pie cooks, giving it a real Southern cobbler taste. If you don't have a 1-inch cookie cutter, the plastic cap of a soda bottle is the right size, and it works great.
