They look scrumptious. I'm sure there's enough juice in that pie to make up for a little dryness. Are you sure it isn't just a little extra crispy and not dry?

Peach pie is one of my very favorite pies! One time I was making them for church function - forgot to put the holes on top and the top kind of exploded, tasted fine but was too ugly to use for church, so we had to stop and buy one. It was rather funny except several people were looking forward to my homemade pie. I need to make one now that peaches are in season.

Those look perfect! We use ice cream to combat any dryness in a pie! :-)

Oh darn...here I thought I was back home for the day. Now I have to go to the bakery for peach pie! Thanks a lot! LOL

Peach is my favorite of all pies and yours, Tartan, look so delicious. Enjoy a piece for me (with or without ice cream is fine). I haven't baked one for years, but seeing how great yours look, I am anxious to bake one (or 2 or 3) once it cools down up here. Too hot to bake (mid-90's with no a/c).

Tartan, would you share your recipe? Thanks!

I kind of wing my peach pies as we pick our own peaches off our tree. I use my 10 inch Pyrex plates and enough peaches to fill them level. Our peaches are small and usually have guests (we don't use pesticides) so that can be anywhere from 10 to 15 good size peaches. The most important tip I can give you, however much sugar you put in your pies (I usually do 2/3 to 3/4 cup depending on how ripe the peaches are) mix into the sugar 3 tablespoons cornstarch and 3 tablespoons minit tapioca and then gently stir it into the peaches right before they go into your pie shell.
The cornstarch thickens the juices as the pie cooks and the minit tapioca continues to swell as the pie cools.
