NOTES:
This week I thought I’d try a dessert recipe since Brandon’s birthday is
Wednesday and his request was peach pie. This peach pie is one easy dessert
too. You can make your own pie crust, or buy a frozen one at the store to
save time (although I recommend making one). I bought some canned peaches
in light syrup and plan to add about 2 tablespoons sugar or less. Judge for
yourself as to how sweet you want it to be. I also will add a little
cinnamon to the crumb mixture. Yum! Peach pie is one of my favorites. Wish
me luck and Brandon a “Happy Birthday”!
