What a wonderful pie, I'm still in awe. I used my own crust, and since fresh peaches are not in season now, I used 1 large can of sliced peaches and 1 large can of sliced apricots (drained). Will cut back a little on the sugar topping next time. The combination of textures and flavors give this pie a 10 star rating in my book. Thank you so much for sharing this recipe. This was so yummy now, can only be better with fresh peaches!?!?!?!

This was fabulous- I did layer it peaches custard, peaches custard, also sprinkled cinnamon in between the layers - Also added chopped fine nuts in my streusel topping, because I had that made already- this will be a make and make again. can't wait to have some more tonight!!!

Very tasty pie. Loved the custard and streusel with the fruit. Next time, I'd probably use more fruit, my pie turned out a little thin. I also think this pie would be great using other kinds of fruit as well. Made for ZWT6 Zingo.

A sour cream peach pie. How could you go wrong!? A agree that the cinnamon in the streusel topping is a must! I had to go through a good number of peaches at the market in order to find some that were just right, as most of them were a tad too raw, yet. But well worth the time spent! This will be made again this summer, as my sister is a peach fanatic! Thnx for sharing your recipe, my friend. Made for a fellow Voracious Vagabond of ZWT 6.

A WANT MORE recipe! Because my pie dish is smaller I reduced it .75, subbed margarine for the shortening, and definitely included the cinnamon-love cinnamon. Served with recipe#424268, rice, green beans, and a salad. Thank you Sarah for a wonderful dessert that I will definitely repeat. Made for Unrulies Under the Influence.
