Today peaches are in season, so in light of eating seasonally I decided to make a peach pie.  I do enjoy a regular single or double crust pie, but quite frankly, they are a pain to make.  Anyway, my favorite pies have always been the deep dish variety. 

I couldn't find a recipe so I just kind of made up my own based upon what I remembered as a child.... This should translate to most other fruits, too.  I remember enjoying strawberries cooked this way alot...

Deep Dish Peach Pie

2-3 pounds of peaches, peeled and sliced

1 cup of freshly ground soft white wheat

1 cup of sugar

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1/2 teaspoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/4 cup of butter, melted to a liquid

1 cup of buttermilk

1 teaspoon vanilla or almond extract (Almond would be good with the peaches, but I was out...also consider what fruit you are using...)

..........................................

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Take the cut up pieces of fruit and put them in a deep casserole dish.

In a separate bowl mix all of the dry ingredients together (if you are using regular store-bought white flour that is self-rising just use a little more, like 1-1/4 cups and omit the salt and baking powder).

Pour the melted butter, vanilla or almond extract, and buttermilk in with the dry and stir it until you have a batter.

Pour this over the peaches.

You may take pieces of butter and dot the top with a couple of these.

Bake for about 30-40 minutes until it looks browned and done.

You can refrigerate it, but I think that it is best warm with vanilla ice cream on the side....
