the coconut in the topping was amazing! it always keeps everyone guessing. I use this on a lot of different pies, but peach is definitely my favorite!

Holy cow! This is pretty amazing! I have made this with peaches and blueberries mixed together, raspberries, and tonight with cranberries and oranges. I have started doubling the topping because it's my favorite part of the dessert! I also tried it as a tart for a thinner version to make it go a little farther with company. :) This is a keeper! Thanks for sharing!

We had this a recent Zaar get-together, baked by the chef herself. What an absolutely delicious pie! I can still taste its lusciousness in my mind! I like that it isn't really sweet as I usually cut the sugar in my baked goods in half. It would be awesome topped with whipped cream or a really good vanilla ice cream (or frozen yogurt for me.) Edited on November 6, 2010 - I finally got around to making this pie myself and it is as delicious as Elly's! I found that I didn't have quite enough peaches so added frozen mango to make up the difference and it was quite delightful.

Pretty yummy! Great idea for the coconut! I doubled the topping and made the pie a deep dish (only pie dish I have). Definitely had to add more flour for the peaches since I had juice dripping down to my elbows, but it worked great! I live in high altitude, so I did cook it for 40 minutes on the second leg--the coconut was going to burn if I went any longer. Awesome recipe!

I too used this topping for Fresh Peach Brown Sugar Pie...I only had one pie crust and was too lazy to make another one so I picked this topping to go on top....Glad I did ...
