Pastor's Wife's Peach Pie

Submitted by pheebess

"This is a recipe that has been in our family for who knows how long. My mother, a pastor's wife, once gave it to a local produce stand that began publishing the recipe in its annual cookbook under the name "Pastor's Wife's Peach Pie". It's really an incredibly easy, custard-based, peach pie. Free Stone peaches make it a lot easier to take the fruit off the pit, but if all you have are cling, just slice the peaches."
