Peach Pie x 2 :)


Hubby brought home another basket of peaches... what to do?  Ended up with 2 peach pies; one for tonight's dessert and another for him to munch on for the rest of the week!  
1 basket of peaches, pealed and sliced
1 cup of sugar
½ c packed brown sugar

4 premade/store bought pie shells

6 T  cornstarch
½ t ground nutmeg
½ t ground cinnamon
¼ t salt

4 t lemon juice
2 T butter

Directions
In a large bowl, combine sugars; add peaches and toss gently. Cover and let stand for 1 hour. Drain peaches, reserving juice.

In a small saucepan, combine the cornstarch, nutmeg, cinnamon and salt; gradually stir in reserved juice. Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 2 minutes or until thickened. Remove heat; stir in lemon juice and butter. Gently fold in peaches. Pour into 2 pie shells.  Note:  there will be juice left over.  Mmm so good! 

Top with remaining pie shells.  Trim and seal edges with a fork.  Cut out steaming holes (1 in the middle and 4 slices) Bake at 400° for 50-60 minutes or until crust is golden brown and filling is bubbly. 

Serve warm with a helping of vanilla ice cream.

Heaven!
