Confession: I’ve never made pie before. Ever. I’ve eaten a lot of pies, but something about pie crust intimidates me tremendously. However, upon perusing through my trusty Babycakes cookbook, I decided this would be the week to change all that. 
Being gluten free and vegan, this wasn’t your traditional pie crust. But it turned out it was delightful in its own way.
I think it helped that I just let myself off the hook on the fancy lattice pie crust and went with a more rustic approach. It all tastes the same right?
I say it’s just as pretty. But then again, I have an affinity for frumpy foods.
The taste, however, was nothing less than spectacular. Fresh seasonal peaches. Flaky, sweet crust. 
This is my kind of pie.
And this is my kind of Babycakes.
I wonder if it tastes as good as pie?

Holy guacamole, that pies looks delicious!! And sweet baby Adrienne has the biggest, most beautiful eyes….just like her momma! big ole XOXO’s
Cool! The pie looks so good. And so does the baby
I have never made a pie before either…the crust on this one looks divine though.
I can’t wait to get my copy of the BabyCakes cookbook!! I ordered it on Amazon, along with Mama Pea’s cookbook AND a mini-doughnut pan! It’ll be Christmas in July when it arrives!
Awww…. she’s so adorable! Your pie looks yummy too. Maybe even I could manage that crust!
you are good at pies, mama!
awwwwwwmygosh precious! and the pie aint so bad either! this cookbook ROCKS!
YUM! I agree with you, the rustic look is much better!!! MUCH!
Love with you went the rustic route with your crust. Having never made a pie myself, I’d be all, “yeaaaaah this is toootally rustic…(aka i have no idea what i’m doing.)”
Lovely job! (and beautiful baby!)
Yup, that’s exactly how the “rustic crust” was born.
That looks PERFECT! I like the “rustic” feel much better anyway
That little Babycakes – breaks my heart to pieces every single time. You should submit her to be a Gerber baby…she’s incredible.
That pie is gorgeous! I can’t believe you even have time to bake. I’m in awe of you!
That looks SO good!!
Mmmmm….that looks absolutely DELISH!
So, I have followed your blog for awhile, and I’ve never commented, but I have an overbearing question that’s been on my mind for a few months now–
Eating healthy is something that I think many people want to do. Wives and moms, especially, find it important to give their families enjoyably diverse, nutritious meals. The recipes and ingredients you use always meet those standards, but I wanted to ask: how do you, personally, budget eating healthy? It’s no shock to anyone that eating healthy always seems to have a hefty price tag, and I wanted to know if you know of ways to avoid or counteract the expenses of eating veggies and organically?
I completely love your blog! Your Pizza Crust recipe is in my recipe compilation book, and it’s the only crust I care to make! And your portobella burgers always make me drool!
Your Babycakes is positively perfect, too. I would love one!
I just wrote about peaches today too!
I think I like your crust better! It’s cute and not as pretentious as those fancy lattice ones!
I think I have a date with this Tuesday. First, I’ll stop at the farmers’ market at pick up my date {local SC peaches} and then show them some love by prepping and eating them. Sounds like a keeper!
I’m almost positive it will be love at first site.
That pie really is beautiful! And honestly, I think lattice crusts are overrated. I like making my pies old-school, crimping the sides down with a fork and cutting a few vents on top. Pie-making is scary at first, but it’s so rewarding!
Baby A just gets cuter everyday. I’m with ya–pie intimidates me; layered cakes have that same effect on me as well. Something about cutting the rounded top off to flatten it before stacking…yikes.
Beautiful pie! Peaches are so good right now too.
Adrienne is THE cutest baby ever
well thank you! No arguments from this proud mama.
All of these pictures made me hungry. The colors in the fruit is amazing!
