Have we got a Peach Pie for you! Churn84™ Unsalted Butter makes the best Peach Pie you’ll ever taste. From the flaky, buttery crust, to Summer’s bounty of ripe peaches baked to juicy perfection, this Peach Pie is a party for the palate.
Because of the high butter fat content in European-style Churn84™ (84% compared to 80% in most North American butters), the dough holds together for easy rolling. In addition, it offers the attributes of superior flavor and a flakier crust.
Give this recipe a try! You’ll be delighted with the results.
