Pie Crusts are "easily made. Easily broken"
crust:
mix the following:
4 cups flour
1 tsp salt
then cut in:
2 cups shortening
Then using a fork fluff the dough as you slowly poor 1 cup of water. Many recipes say to create a ball. Don't do this. You want your pie to be flaky! It should look like this when you dump it out onto the counter.
Dump half on counter for pie bottom. Dump the other half after you have made the filling. Tip: Make the filling before you make the crust. This way it can sit and thicken for 15 minutes.

For the filling:
5 cups peaches (I added blueberries and strawberries because I had them on hand)
1/4 cup Minute Tapioca
1 TBL lemon juice
3/4 cup sugar
let this sit for 15 minutes. Then dump into your unbaked pie bottom. Add your top crust. Cut slits for ventilation.
Paint milk on your crust with your fingers. Then sprinkle with sugar. Then admire.
Bake at 375 for 45 minutes.
Yummy!
