* Peach Raspberry Crisp Pie- Pie Contest Winner! *

My  favorite - Raspberries - freshly picked from the Farmer's Market. This is how dreams start, recipes are going through my head. Or, should I just eat them now?

But wait! There is a pie contest today! I have peaches, I have raspberries, I can make a pie, but I need to have it at the contest in 1 1/2 hours! Better start baking!! I didn't take photos of the making of the pie because I was.....well........ trying to make it as quickly as possible to get it delivered to the contest. Off it went, piping hot out of the oven.............
