Yes, I know peaches are almost out of season and ordinarily I would have posted this in June but some things are just out of my control, for example: when my grandchildren are born. Lucy and Henry just had their 2nd and 4th birthdays.

My daughter put together a little party. She happens to be 7 months pregnant with number three and just wasn’t up to a huge shindig, so she kept it small and simple but still managed to make it darling and delicious. The party had a ‘cowboys and Indian’ theme, the meal consisted of bowls of chili, these amazing biscuits and instead of birthday cake she rocked the Perfect Peach Pies!

We flew up from LA for the festivities. Sundance Mountain was misty most of the week…

…but the weather cooperated on party day and the Autumn colors made a perfect backdrop for a fall birthday celebration. And the beautiful peach pies fit right in. We use a crust that is flaky and light, a sweet, easy to make glaze and ripe fresh peaches!

We top these pies with my hand made vanilla ‘sour’ whipped cream…perfection! Notice the specks of real vanilla bean? Those are compliments of my favorite Vanilla Bean Paste. I use it instead of extract in all my recipes. It is available in both 4oz and quart size. If you bake a lot…get the quart!
