I had planned to make this peach pie for the 4th of July, but after visiting the Fredericksburg fruit stand my peaches weren't quite ripe, so they spent a couple of days in a brown sack. But today the house is filled with the aroma of my Grandma Davis' Peaches and Cream Pie. Fredericksburg peaches are wonderful on their own, but I have to make at least one pie with this recipe each season. Wish my sister Judy was here to enjoy a slice with me.
Anna Davis' Peaches and Cream Pie
9" unbaked pastry shell Preheat oven to 400 degrees
1 cup sugar
5 Tablespoons cornstarch
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
3 cups (I used 4!) fresh sliced peaches
1 cup heavy whipping cream
Combine sugar, cornstarch, salt and nutmeg. Mix carefully into peaches. Pour cream over all and mix carefully again until coated.
Bake 35-45 minutes until center no longer jiggles. Cover edges of crust if they brown too fast.
Best of all..... enjoy warm or cold!!
