This pie is DELICIOUS! I made it in a gluten-free crust and, after reading other reviews, left out the ginger. I also accidentally left out the lemon juice, but it was so good I will leave it out next time, too. The gluten-free crust browned in about 30 minutes, so if you use gluten-free watch it carefully.

I made this this summer and was very happy with it. Next time I would use probably 1 more peach. It was not filled as high as I liked with 5, and my peaches very fairly large. Other than that, the pie was very tasty and very highly received by my friends. Thanks!

If made as is this is a spicy peach pie. I tend to like a sweet summer peach pie and would recommend omitting the ginger altogether if that is what you are looking for. I added a 6th peach and substitued 1/3 c flour for the cornstarch. I do not like adding cornstarch or tapioca to my pies as I think it alters the flavor and sometimes makes them too congealed. I like a little bit of juice to add to that home made effect. Also, if you are making a spicy peach pie you could add a 1/4 t of nutmeg for an extra boost of flavor. All in all this is a good pie recipe and I would definitely make again. I like that you can vary the spices to determine a spicy or sweet pie with a wonderful outcome either way.
