wow!! this is the best peach pie i have ever eaten. the pie was a bit runny, but i had forgotten to put some of the topping in the crust before the peach filling. that would probably have thickened it up more. i put a 1/2 tsp. of nutmeg in with the peach filling. i am going to freeze a lot of peaches just to make this pie during the winter. thanks for a great recipe.

I made this with peaches that I had frozen this summer when at their peek. Perhaps, that was the problem; I don't know. I felt that this pie lacked flavor. The praline mixture would have been better with brown sugar instead of regular white. Some nutmeg, cinnamon or maybe even cloves would have added a boost, too. It is a good concept, but the recipe needs a boost.

Absolutely wonderful pie! I made this today for dessert and it was a total hit with everyone. This is one dessert that will be made often.
