Peach Pie



In a lucky moment, the peaches I purchased from our sub-par grocery store actually ripened up very nicely. I used them in this peach and creme fraiche pie. It was WON-DER-FUL. The bottom crust is pate sucree (basically more butter and sugar than a traditional pie crust) and the top is a streusal topping. Little dollops of creme fraiche under and on top of the peaches melt with the peach juices to make a creamy custard. I didn't have creme fraiche on hand, so substituted sour cream and the results were great. I will definitely be making this again before the good summer peaches are gone.

You guys seriously need to move closer to us. Warm Peach pie ala mode sounds so good right now. I'm jealous.
