Peach Pie

It has been a while since my last post. Not that busy if I must say ...maybe a bit lazy I guess...hihi.. I've been baking few new recipes recently but only now I have courage to update them as few of my friends in facebook requested for the recipe. For those who love pastry should try this one cause it's so easy and take less than an hour to prepare.

You can substitute the peach with strawberry, apple or whatever fruit that suits you. Just be creative ...
