A double-crust pie filled with August Palisade peaches from the Grand Valley, sugared and thickened with cornstarch, the lattice top brushed with cream and turbinado sugar.

Palisade peaches arrived in the Grand Valley of western Colorado in the 1880s and grew into the state's signature fruit by the 1920s. Denver bakeries source from August to early September, when the Palisade Peach Festival draws weekend crowds to the orchards. The Denver pie tradition runs through bakeries like Rebel Bread; the Palisade peach is the canonical August pie filling here and a fixture on every Front Range farmers market table.
