A few simple tips will help you make a wonderful butter crust. Make sure the ingredients are very cold—you can even chill the flour! Also, make sure not to overwork the dough—that's really the key. And enjoy! For me, the process of making the dough and assembling a pie can be such a lovely pleasure in itself.

Peach pie is such a happy pie. Maybe because peaches are in season during the summer, peach pie seems to call out for taking it easy and enjoying the day.
