The Red Haven peaches we have in the store in Belleville and Sappington, St. Louis are AMAZING! They are so sweet, there is no need to add sugar to a big bowl of freshly sliced peaches. My family has been eating them every night at dinner and they are just divine.

I was testing a new recipe this week for a play date the kids have this Friday. Both of the kids will be inviting friends over to pick peaches and I wanted to have a simple recipe for them to bake when we get back to the house. This recipe is fun because it gives kids a chance to make their own dessert.

Have you heard of a soft-skin peeler? It looks just like a potato peeler but it has teeth. The teeth grip the skin of the peach without compromising any of the sweet peach flesh. I will have the kids (carefully) peel their own peaches for this recipe. I think they will like the idea of filling the pie and then “painting” the crust with egg white.
