RECIPE BACKSTORY
This is from Pillsbury's Easy Pies soft cookbook you can buy at the supermarket. I have tried it twice now, and everyone who has eaten it really likes it. You could use purchased pie crusts if you don't want to make your own. I have other peach pie recipes, but this seems to be the winner.
