This recipe comes straight from peach country!
Fresh Peach Pie From Scratch
1 homemade pie crust already baked
4 fresh peaches
3/4 cup sugar
3/4 cup water
1 pkg peach jello
3 tbsp cornstarch
1 tub CoolWhip
Peal the peaches and cut them in bite-sized chunks.
Simmer the water and sugar for three minutes. Stir in the jello and heat gently until it dissolves. I use the rub method: rub the mixture between your fingers, if it feels grainy keep stirring. Whisk the cornstarch into the mixture a little at a time constantly keeping it moving to avoid clumping. Continue simmering until transparent. Toss the peaches into the mixture to coat them thoroughly. Pour into an already baked pie-crust.
Refrigerate 2 hours. Layer the entire tub of CoolWhip on top just before serving.
