peach pie with cinnamon and nutmeg.
Happy Thanksgiving weekend, Canada! To celebrate, I made this peach pie using Colleen Patrick-Goudreau’s The Joy of Vegan Baking: If you don’t have it in your baking repertoire, you should – it’s truly fabulous. Everything I’ve ever made using this book has been a winner, and this pie was no exception. The note of nutmeg was unexpectedly delightful. Now it’s gone. Sniff. With the rush to get out the door and to our dinner (that leaf-laden top took a lot longer than I thought it would), I was lucky to have snapped this pic as my husband carried the pie to the table.
The leaf topping is gorgeous! It may be hard to believe, but I’ve never had peach pie before. I do love Colleen’s book though, so I may have to try it one day.
I’m glad you had a lovely Thanksgiving!
Happy Thanksgiving to you too, Nicole :) Thanks! Have you tried Colleen’s pumpkin pie? OMG, awesome!
That is beautiful – master work on the leaf layer!
Thanks so much, Susan – such a sweet thing to say :)
I have the Joy of Vegan Baking but I’ve never made that pie. It looks gorgeous though & I have the recipe bookmarked now.
Awesome! LOVE Colleen’s recipes – she is such a master.
Wow it’s so beautiful!
Thanks, Christy <3 <3
It looks absolutely beautiful, its a shame you had to eat it!!! but I’m sure it tasted as good as it looked :)
Thanks, Anthony – it was delicious. It’s good to know that my toil over the leaves didn’t go unnoticed :)
this is so gorgeous – i LOVE the leaf cut outs on top!
Thanks, Jess :) The leaf cutters are super fun – I’ve a set of four, and it’s always hard deciding which one to go for. I was going to go with the maple leaf, in honour of Thanksgiving, but then I went with the oak leaf at the last second.
That looks beautiful, I’m so impressed with the leaf-crust on top :)
Thanks Mandee, that means a lot <3
The pie is exquisite! A work of art. :-)
Awww, cheers :)
I’ve been hearing more and more about Colleen Patrick-Goudreau. Now I think I need that Joy of Vegan Baking book, after such high praise from you!
I can’t recommend The Joy of Vegan Baking highly enough – it’s probably my favourite, and I have many, many, much-loved cookbooks :)
