Peaches are popular in Amish kitchens this time of year. In most of the Midwest, the orange spheres of sweet are ready to harvest this time of year. Peaches make a great after-school snack sliced and ready to munch. But peaches also find their way into jams, pies, coffeecakes, canning jars and fruit salads. Pictured here is a peach pie from Mary's Bakery in Hardin County, Ohio. Site reader Diann picked this one up, mmm, she is lucky, I love Mary's Bakery! Most of Mary's fruit pies are closed crust with the signature star cut-outs on top. And look at that generous sprinkling of sugar on the crust. Yum! While this is not Mary's recipe, since we are talking about peaches I will share a recipe for peach pie that is popular in Amish kitchens.

Used to live in Sarasota and frequently went to Yoders for lunch. We would always get a slice of peach pie...have never tasted one as good as these. I would love the recipe considering I don't live in Sarasota anymore, and have peaches that I bought especially for this pie. Is there anyway I can get the recipe...it seems to me this pie had a cooked shell, but the filling didn't seem to be cooked....the peaches looked fresh and didn't taste soft enough to have been cooked, but I could be wrong. I would like to make this pie before my peaches get too ripe....can you help me???

Kimberly, you're observation about the pie seems spot-on. I've had it before. The peaches have a crunch, a pleasant crunch, that shows they aren't cooked to death, maybe not at all. Give me a day and I'll see what I can do as far as getting the recipe! - kevin
