Simple reduces stress. That statement is simple and powerful. Can I get an amen? Simplifying our lives is a way to weed out stress. Simple to me means wild flowers instead of roses, clothesline dried clothes instead of machine dried, quick suppers instead of complicated dinners. Simplicity is what draws me to rustic. Anything rustic: furniture, dishes, pies. Rustic Peach Pie is about as simple as you can get. Sweetened peaches with a dab of flour for thickening, top a single pie crust and the edges are turned up to partially cover the peaches. No crimping. No fussing with the crust or the filling. I used my butter crust recipe but a good store-bought crust will work just fine. If you use my recipe, omit the sugar in the crust and brush the top with half and half and sprinkle with sugar.
Now, if we want fancy, we can call this Rustic Peach Pie a Peach Galette, but ,with fancy comes a certain amount of stress. Let’s keep it simple. Let’s try to make our lives simpler. Go out and pick a bunch of wildflowers and place them in a canning jar on your kitchen window sill. Then, send me a quick note and let me know how that simple act chased away some stress.
We need to get back to simple. Can I get an amen?
Y’all come see us!

Amen sista! I think I was born rustic. I like the simple things in life and that peach pie is one of them! Too many people in this world live in over complicated lives and are miserable. Simple is always best!
Jackie Garvin says
I couldn’t agree more, Jean.

I agree…and the more “stuff” we get rid of, and the simpler we make the meals, the better we like it. It’s liberating!!

Amen Sistah!

I love rustic peach pies where I can say, “It’s supposed to look like that, it’s rustic.” 🙂 Love this peach pie.
Jackie Garvin says
Maureen,
That’s exactly right! I don’t have the patience to fuss and primp baked goods. Rustic lets you get around that.

I’m making this for a Potluck at Church this weekend. I’m thinking it’ll go over well! We have a ‘simple’ crowd!
Jackie Garvin says
I love this pie because it’s all about the flavor of good peaches. I hope you enjoy!
Jakie says
Hello Jackie, I made this peach dessert the other day and my husband couldn’t stop raving about it! Also, I appreciate how simple it is to put together. I’m going to try it with blueberries next. Thank you for sharing such a wonderful recipe.
Best, Jakie
Jackie Garvin says
Thank you! It’s very easy and very good. That’s the best kind of recipe. ❤️
Craig says
Hi Jackie,
This looks and sounds amazing. I was reading the comments and they go back a ways.
Just a FYI , I am confused – on your recipe card in the description it talks about Pecan Bars and Pecan Pie.
Jackie Garvin says
Thanks for bringing this to my attention. I need to edit that content in the description. I changed recipe card programs and it looks like that one didn’t transition correctly.
Linda says
This was excellent! Thank you so much.
Jackie Garvin says
