Grandma's Peach Pie
Sometimes the simplest things are the very best. The first summer that we lived here, my friend Annie brought this mouth-watering treat to a church pie contest, where it handily won the honor of crowd favorite, despite having a simple, 6-item ingredient list. The beauty of this sweet and easy pleaser is that those basic ingredients pack a wallop in the flavor department: a buttery, crumbly graham cracker crust with warm notes of vanilla and honey; a creamy, lemon-spiked topping that is at once both sweet and tangy; and nestled in between, a mile-high layer of fresh, juicy peaches bursting with the brightness of a summer afternoon.

Summer afternoon--Summer afternoon...the two most beautiful words in the English language.
