This week I've been baking up a storm. First I made the cutest mini peach pies. I found a recipe on Pinterest that was perfect! I was shopping at my local Salvation Army store and spotted the cutest little tart or quiche pans. I'm really not sure what they are, but knew they would make cute little fruit pies. I cheated and used store bought crust. I know, I was feeling lazy. I made some with the latice and some with a heart placed in the center.
I was so glad to find peaches on sale at my local Price Rite grocery store. They were .99 cents a pound. I just got an advertisement for another local grocer who has them for .69 cent a pound. I think I'll go get some more. I love peaches this time of year! Maybe I can find another good recipe on Pinterest for a peach dessert.

- 4-5 medium sized peaches, peeled and cut into small pieces
- 1/4 cup of granulated sugar
- 1 rounded teaspoon of flour
- 1 rounded teaspoon of corn starch
- 2-3 drops of almond extract ( I didn't add this because I wasn't sure how it would taste)

- For Topping: 1 egg white mixed with 1/2 of egg yolk
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
Instructions
- In a medium sized bowl, combine peaches, 1/4 cup sugar, flour, corn starch, almond extract, and lemon juice.
- Cover with plastic wrap and let sit for 30 minutes
- Grease 3 ramekins with cooking spray or butter and preheat the oven to 375 degrees.
- Roll out pies crust to about 1/8 th inch thickness, thinner then you would making a full size pie
- Cut the crust to a circle that is about 1 and a 1/2 inches to 2 inches larger than the edges of the ramekin.
- Fit the dough circle into the ramekin and gently push down to fit the size.
- Fill with peach filling to the top of the ramekins.
I made a peach smoothie in my new Hamilton Beach milk shake maker.
I bought this beauty at a yard sale for $2.00.
