National Peach Pie Day

August 24th is National Peach Pie Day in the United States.

This is another dish made with peaches, but it does fall during National Peach Month.

Pies themselves are baked dishes that are made from a pastry dough casing. There are different types of pies, as defined by how the pastry is used. A single, or bottom, crust pie has the top left open. A top crust pie has a lid on top, but no bottom. A two crust pie has both a top and bottom lid, although the top lid may be a lattice of pastry strips. In sweet dessert pies, which a peach pie is, the pastry used is usually, but doesn't have to be, flaky pastry.

The filling of this pie is, naturally enough, peaches. These are added to the pie and then the dish is finished in the oven by baking.
