Celebrate Peach Pie Day & Cherry Turnover Day with Recipes and Cozy Mysteries
Sweet treats and a cozy mystery go hand in hand! You can find special food recognition days every month of the year, if you are looking for them. Ice cream cones. Smores. Maybe not every food you can think of, but certainly a lot of them. August happens to have two tasty pastry days, both National Cherry Turnover Day and National Peach Pie Day. As it so happens, I have books that involve both. Sour Cherry Turnover, and On the Slab Pie. No, On the Slab Pie doesn’t have a peach pie on the cover, but it does talk about it in the book, with a special celebration of peach pastries at the end of the story.
What better way to celebrate than with a gluten-free recipe and a cozy mystery book where these pastries play a starring role?
Peach Pie Day (Aug 24)
Nothing says summer like fresh peaches baked into a flaky crust. To mark this sweet holiday, here’s a simple gluten-free peach pie recipe you can try.
Peach Pie features in On the Slab Pie, Auntie Clem’s Bakery #18
Cozy Mystery Featuring Peach Pie: On the Slab Pie
On the Slab Pie
The pie crust is tender, but the case is tough!
It all starts with a body.
Erin thought she’d seen and heard it all. In Bald Eagle Falls, everyone seemed not only to know everyone else’s business, but to discuss it at length. Yet she had always assumed that her neighbor Mrs. Peach, who had no man in her life, was widowed.
Mr. Peach’s unexpected reappearance, a prison breaking, and a body in the woods combine to form the toughest case yet for the gluten-free baker to solve!
⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ I enjoyed this book immensely! There were so many twists and turns that I was unable to figure out who committed the crimes. If Erin hadn’t helped Mr. Peach home, the culprit would have gotten away with the crimes. Can you figure out this mystery?

Cozy Mystery Featuring Cherry Turnovers: Sour Cherry Turnover
And I’m sure you’ll be surprised to hear that the book that features cherry turnovers is:
Sour Cherry Turnover
She would never look at a cherry turnover the same way again.
Erin told anyone who would listen that she was not concerned about The Bake Shoppe reopening, but in her heart of hearts, she was worried about whether Auntie Clem’s Bakery would be able to survive a direct competitor in Bald Eagle Falls. She can’t help feeling resentment toward Charley starting up a competing business and expecting her advice and support.
But a brutal murder soon reminds her that there are worse things than competition. Especially when she is discovered with the murder weapon in her hand.
Worried that Vic’s brother Jeremy may be involved, Erin tries to protect him from the investigation.
Treasure seekers, drug dealers, and secret tunnels; Erin needs to untangle it all before time runs out.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️When a marble rolling pin goes missing, Erin finds it at the new bakery but also finds a dead body. The story continues with many twists and turns in a well-written tale… I can’t get enough of this series.
