Sour Cream Peach Pie

Kathy in Dearborn's Note:

This recipe is from Farm Journal's Complete Pie Cookbook. I purchased the book in 1970 when I moved into my first apartment after college. In 1972 I made this for my husband and it quickly became his birthday dessert. I just made this pie for friends that came to visit from the State of Washington and they loved it too. Can be made with canned peaches BUT I only use fresh! I make the pie crust the day before and have it chilling in the refrigerator ready to be rolled out.

Easy making pie. I've made this twice and each time the family loved it. I used home canned peaches from last summer and OMG soo good. I also used Crisco recipe for pie crust and latice top. Before I sprinkled sugar and spices on top I do an eggwash all over crust. You can see big change in appearance in my photo and is crispier is with topping.

Pie was delicious, though I found the filling a little on the runny side, but I may just not have cooked it long enough. I did actually use low-fat sour cream, and it seemed fine (unless that's what made it too runny). I did a lattice crust because I was bored and wanted the extra challenge, but I wouldn't necessarily recomend it for this sort of pie.

I've never had sour cream peach pie before but made this the night before our annual church summer picnic and won first prize in the pie contest with it! It's fabulous.
