Coffee and Dessert - Peach Praline Pie

I don't know if you have had the pleasure of eating a fresh peach right off the tree, but they are amazing! A few years ago when we were in South Carolina my sister brought home some fresh peaches - so sweet and the juice runs down your hand when you take a bite. There is nothing like it here in New England. I have always loved peach pie and ran across this true southern recipe which is wonderful.

Peach Praline Pie
 
4 cups peeled, sliced Peaches (about 4 medium peaches)
9 inch unbaked Deep-Dish Pie Shell
1/2 cup Sugar
3-1/2 tablespoons quick-cooking Tapioca
1 teaspoon Lemon Juice
1/2 cup All-Purpose Flour
1/4 cup packed Brown Sugar
1/2 cup Pecan pieces
4 tablespoons cold unsalted Butter
 
1. Preheat oven to 450 degrees.
2. Line a rimmed baking sheet with foil.
3. In a large bowl combine peaches, sugar, tapioca and lemon juice. Let stand for 15 minutes.
4. In a small bowl mix flour, brown sugar and pecan pieces. Using your fingers or a fork, cut in butter until mixture is crumbly.
5. Sprinkle 1/3 of the praline mixture( the brown sugar/flour mix) over bottom of pie shell.
6. Cover with peach mixture. Sprinkle remaining praline mixture over peaches.
7. Place pie on prepared baking sheet and bake for 10 minutes.
8. Reduce oven temperature to 350 degrees and bake until peaches are tender and topping is golden brown, about 30 minutes.
 
When serving top with a scoop of vanilla ice cream and enjoy!!

The Rock of Gibraltar

If you have ever seen a Prudential Financial advertisement, you will recognize the Rock of Gibraltar which is their logo. The Rock of Gibraltar is a single large block of stone 426 m (1,398 ft) high. It is a limestone peninsula and mountainous rock that jets out of the end of the British territory at the southwestern tip of Europe. It is home to a network of caves, including the famous St. Michael’s Cave, which is open to the public. At the top of the Rock, visitors can enjoy amazing panoramic views of the surrounding area, including Morocco on a clear day. Seeing the Rock from below is quite a sight, however, taking a tour to the top tells a much bigger story of how impressive it truly is. We headed out in a small 6-passenger van to make the climb up to the top of the Rock. The road is quite narrow and winds back and forth along the edge of the Rock. For someone like me who is afraid o...
