Peaches With Favorite

Hey guys!

I was off work yesterday (finally) so we decided to go pick some peaches to eat and bake with! Peach season is late June through early July, so it was the perfect time for it. There was a good mix of very ripe to almost ripe on the trees- you always want to get a variety so that you don't have to eat them all at once.  The orchard we went to also has strawberries (May) and apples (August-October). Were definitely going to go back to get some apples for autumn apple pies :) 

For those of you dating someone or thinking about asking someone on a date, I would highly recommend going and picking some produce! Its so fun and its one of those dates where its ok to talk a lot or not to talk at all. Thats always what I used to get nervous about on dates- "What are we going to talk about?!" And I always liked outside dates better than inside dates :) You can also extend it by eating the peaches afterwards!

We decided to utilize our peaches immediately and make some baked goodies. I was going to modify my favorite apple pie recipe for peaches, but they turned out to be way too squishy to make into a pie, so we opted for something I made up instead. World, welcome the Really Easy Peach Dumpling Tarts. 

I basically just took some crust we had made previously and chilled (ps the best crust ever- so flaky yet savory. Special post on that to come), cut it into little triangles, placed some peach slices on the bigger half of the triangle, sprinkled some sugar, cinnamon, and butter onto the peaches, and then rolled up the triangles like crescent rolls. Then we put them in a baking pan with more butter and baked them at 350 for about 30 minutes. They turned out DELICIOUS, especially with a little vanilla ice cream. But then again, I don't know how they could have not been delicious, honestly. They're basically just sugar and butter. You can't go wrong there. 

Thanks for reading!
