Deep Dish Nectarine/Peach Pie

This is a fantastic pie to make for family picnics or like I did when you get invited to the next farm over for dinner like dad and I did! Our next farm over is a family of 6 that we love so much. There is a mom and dad plus 4 kiddos that call me grandma and always do special things for me. So this time I made a colossal pie and we took a gallon of Ice cream to go with!

It is a huge pie that I hope you will try!

Make your crust first and set aside:

• 3 cups flour
• 1 cup Crisco
• 1 tablespoon sugar
• 1 teaspoon salt
• Ice water, start with approximately 1/2 cup, don’t make your dough too wet.
• FOR THE PIE FILLING:

• 2 or 3 lbs Peaches, unpeeled and sliced
• 2 or 3 lbs nectarines, unpeeled and sliced
• 2 cups sugar
• 1/2 cup flour
• 1 teaspoon ground ginger
• 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
• Make your pie dough first, line your big rectangular baking pan with the bottom crust, set aside

Preheat your oven to 375*

Now slice up all your peaches and nectarines into a really big bowl.

Now add your sugar, spices and flour, mix well

Now dump it into your big baking dish with the crust

now roll out your top crust, I always make a lattice, but you can make a sheet and just make sure you cut vents

Now brush the crust with heavy cream and sprinkle with sugar.

Now put in a 375* oven and bake for 45 minutes, check to see if it needs more time, then bake at 10-minute intervals till done. it may need over an hour depending on your oven.

Now carefully take the pie out of the oven and set on a rack to cool.

Now cut a big chunk, grab some vanilla ice cream, grab a cup of coffee and enjoy this deliciousness!!
