Peachy Praline Pie


My friend was having a birthday, she requested a pie. Anything she said, fruit definitely. At the market, the peaches were on the wane, so I tried Peachy Praline Pie.

  • Unbaked 9" pie shell
  • 3/4 c granulated sugar
  • 4 c sliced peaches
  • 1 1/2 t lemon juice
  • 1/3 c brown sugar
  • 1/4 c flour
  • 1/2 c chopped pecans
  • 3 T butter
Combine granulated sugar and 3 T flour in a large bowl. Add peaches and lemon juice. Combine brown sugar, 1/4 c flour & pecans in small bowl. Mix in butter until crumbly. Sprinkle one third of pecan mixture over bottom of pie shell. Cover with peach mixture and sprinkle remaining pecan mixture over peaches. Bake in 400 oven until peaches are tender about 40 minutes.

This pie was good. But the peaches weren't nearly as good as the previous peach pie - clearly the peaches matter. I liked the idea of the pralines, but it wasn't as carmely as I had hoped. Good but not perfect.
