Like Strawn's Peach Pie

Submitted by Jellybeene01

"Strawn's is a Restrauant that serves home cooked meals ( like Momma use to make) and their pies "R" to die for. The recipe was in the local newspaper. It's easy to make and as a friend from church said "It's heavenly"."

Excellent recipe and easy to follow directions! Strawn's piles on whipped topping (like six inches) and serves in ice cold! I used fresh Stratford, Oklahoma peaches and a Mrs. Smith frozen pie crust. Delicious - watch out you will be craving this pie.

This recipe has to be the easiest one I've made when trying to make a vanilla custard/pudding filling!! No problems with adding hot to cold or blending like the traditional recipes. I saved this recipe with the thought of using peaches but mine were not quite ripe. I substituted fresh blueberries and raspberries, placing them in first atop the crust, then adding the filling. Topped with sliced strawberries. My family is lactose intolerant so I used the Lactose free milk~worked perfectly!!!! Thank you so much for an awesome recipe, this a keeper for certain!!!
