*Use store bought, ready-to-use pie pastry, or your favorite recipe for homemade pie pastry.

**Tip: To make peeling the peaches easier, prepare a large pot of rapidly boiling water and a large container of ice-cold water. With a paring knife, score an X in the skin on the bottom of each peach. Plunge peaches into boiling water for about 30 seconds; transfer peaches directly into the ice water. The skins should slip off easily.
