Molé Peach Pie
We absolutely love pairing peaches with our molé cacao spice rub. Peaches are now in season and we've been experimenting more. Last year, we decided to grill peaches and sprinkle them with Molé Cacao Spice Rub to balance savory and sweet flavors all brought together with chocolate undertones. With our pie, theres more to share with friends and family! Bake it for your next gathering or as a treat for the family to eat throughout the week.
