And since this wasn't any 'ole peach pie, I decided it called for a different kind of peach. I found these 'Saturn' or 'White Donut' peaches at the store and learned that they are a sweet peach with a little taste of almond. I only had four of these peaches, so I also used one of the yellow peaches which I thought would give the pie more color.
The crust was easy enough to make and surprisingly didn't require pre-baking. The filling was very different with two eggs, sour cream, some honey, dark brown sugar, salt, and two tablespoons of flour. The topping was a normal crumb topping, but I decided to add some toasted pecans and some cinnamon because those just seem to go hand-in-hand with peaches in my book.
The result? Three thumbs up at our house. Although it looked a little eggy when I cut the first slice, the filling was creamy and moist, but not overly sweet. The topping gave it just the right amount of crunch and sweetness. My son ate half the pie in probably 10 minutes. He thought it was that good.

Hi, Elaine,
ReplyDeleteGreat minds think alike - I added pecans, too! I also wondered why the crust wasn't pre-baked & read the recipe 3 times to make sure I hadn't missed that step! Unfortunately, my custard didn't set, so no rave reviews here.
your pie looks delish! i was also a pit put off by the eggy look of the custard, but found it delicious anyway!
ReplyDeletePecans and cinnamon sound like a delicious addition tothe topping, and I love those peaches you found! How fun! Your pie looks beautiful!
ReplyDeleteGlad this was a hit at your house! I make peach cobbler quite a bit and always add pecans.
ReplyDeleteElaine, your pie looks wonderful! I love that you added pecans and your saturn peaches look awesome! Will have to give this one a try! Happy Sunday! xo
ReplyDeleteI like your additions...and now that you mention it, a pre-baked crust might have helped my couple of leftover pieces. It all tasted good, I just did not know if I was on the right track...but seeing all of your pies, I guess I did OK.
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful pie! The streusel top looks so good and I think the addition of pecans sounds delicious. That's great that you don't have to blind bake the crust (I really hate having to do that first). I'll have to check this recipe out!
ReplyDeleteThis looks delicious! I was at the farmers' market yesterday, and peaches are not ready here yet, but I will be ready and waiting when they are.

Elaine....looks great on an iPad! :) so impressed with your additions. Love pecans! Perhaps fresh peaches made all the difference. Looks beautiful!
ReplyDeleteOh, I'll bet the crumb topping is extra tasty with cinnamon and pecans! So glad your pie was a hit!
ReplyDeleteElaine, This looks so yummy! I think you're so right... pecans and cinnamon do go great with peaches.
ReplyDeleteI really wanted to make this one but I'm watching my grandkids this week and it just wasn't going to happen! Nice post! Your peaches look beautiful!
