My Mother Told Me These Have Been Her Favorites Since She Was A Little Girl

Last week I was struggling, trying to decide what dessert to make for my best friend’s baby shower. She loves all things old-fashioned, so I knew I wasn’t going to make a fancy, modern treat. Not that there’s anything wrong with those – and I’m sure she and everyone attending the shower would have loved any kind of dessert! But I still wanted to choose from classic dessert recipes, instead.

I have a pretty impressive collection of old and new dessert recipes but the problem was, there were too many to choose from! So I did what any woman would do when facing tough times; I turned to my mother. I asked what her favorite dessert recipe was when she was little.

I’m not sure if she actually helped me make a decision or not, since she came up with seven that she thought were equally amazing. Thanks, Mom… Well, I finally decided to settle on two desserts; #6 and #3 on this list. My best friend loved them both, and I got so many requests for the recipes that I decided to put together this list for all of you!

Quick tip: These desserts are great for potlucks and family gatherings! Just double them, if you’re expecting a large crowd.

Life is always sweeter when you add a few slices of peach pie to the mix.

Peach pie is one of my favorite desserts. I often crack open a jar of grandma’s canned peaches and make my family a deliciously baked pan of happiness. Did you know that the peaches my grandmother preserves come from her and grandad’s grove? Yep, they have their very own orchard on their property in Georgia. How cool is that? Anyway, using fresh peaches when making pie is always the best!

Thank you so much, Bless Us O Lord, for sharing your peach pie recipe with us. The leftovers (if there are any) taste even better the next day!

I Can’t Get Enough Of This Traditional Dessert!

Every year I look forward to our trip to a nearby apple orchard. I do love the apples, too, but what I’m most excited about are the peaches. I swear you’ll never see peaches this big and juicy anywhere else in the world!

For starters, I eat about a dozen of them before I even start thinking about what to make. I love homemade, canned peaches (with a secret recipe for a special spice mixture I got from my mother), but nothing beats a good, old-fashioned, double crust peach pie. My mouth is watering just thinking about it!

I always make half a dozen pies to begin with, and bring them to my friends and neighbors. One of my favorite neighbor’s kids call me The Pie Lady – and I’m quite proud of that nickname! A slice of this pie is pure heaven on Earth, and if you add a scoop of vanilla ice cream on the side, I really can’t imagine anything better than that.

Don’t worry if you don’t have the time to make your own pie crust. You’ll do just fine with store-bought pastry!

Quick Tip: Instead of one big pie, you could use ramekins to make several smaller pies.
