The Best Fresh Peach Pie

My mom makes the best homemade peach pie!  Really, I have tasted other versions of pie and my moms is the best fresh peach pie I have had.  She says that she thinks what makes it so good is it includes orange juice in the recipe.  She made a pie the other night for my Dad’s birthday and I had to snap a photo so I can share the recipe with all of you.

If you know me, I love whipped cream.  I use it whenever I can.  In my opinion, you can’t have a slice of the best fresh peach pie without a generous dollop of sweetened whipped cream.  For the picture, we piped on the whipping cream to make it look pretty.
