(from saymyname’s recipe box)

Serves 8 people

Categories: Dessert, Peaches, Pie

Ingredients

  • 1 (9 1/2 inch) basic flaky deep dish pie shells (deep dish single crust)
  • Filling:
  • 2 1/2-3 cups peeled peeled pitted and sliced ripe peaches (or one 1-lb. bag frozen sliced peaches partially thawed)
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar, sifted
  • salt (a big pinch)
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup firmly packed light brown sugar

Directions

  1. Place prepared unbaked pie pastry shell in the freezer for 15 minutes; preheat oven to 400°.

  2. Distribute peach slices evenly in the chilled pie shell.

  3. In a mixing bowl, combine the cream, powdered sugar, salt, and vanilla; whisk to blend.

  4. Slowly pour the cream over the peaches.

  5. Use a fork, if needed, to rearrange the peach slices evenly in the shell.

  6. Place the pie on the center oven rack; bake for 30 minutes.

  7. Remove from the oven and lower the temperature to 350°.

  8. Sprinkle the brown sugar evenly over the pie; then return pie to oven, placing it so that the part that faced the back of the oven now faces forward.

  9. Bake about 15-20 minutes or until the filling is bubbly and the top is caramel-colored (the filling will still be liquidy).

  10. Transfer pie to a wire rack; let cool thoroughly.

  11. Cover loosely with tented aluminum and refrigerate at least 4 hours or overnight.
