"We must have pie. Stress cannot exist in the presence of a pie."- David Mamet
With summer winding to a close, it only makes sense to get the most out of all the delicious fruits that are still in season. I found myself with a couple peaches and a few cups of cherries verging on over-ripening. Instead of throwing out the fruit or eating all of it by myself, I decided to bake a Cherry Peach Pie (the first pie I've ever baked).
