Fresh Peach Pie - Delicious for a summer dessert. I forgot to put in the nutmeg, but it tastes good either way. I cheated with a pre-made pie crust. It doesn't take too long to skin the peaches if you cut them in half and put a couple at a time in a few inches of boiling water. Leave them in 5-10 seconds (until the skin slips off easily) then put them in cold water to cool them down. I added a few ice cubes to speed the process because Florida water out of the tap doesn't really get that cold. Make sure you leave time for it to set in the fridge to firm up.
