Fresh Peach Pie
1 1/2 cup chopped ripe peaches
1/3 cup butter
1 cup sugar
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 teaspoon lemon zest
2 eggs
2 tablespoons flour
1/8 teaspoon vanilla
Peel and chop peaches and toss with lemon juice and lemon zest. Place in the bottom of a regular (not deep dish) pie shell.
Mix sugar, flour, and melted butter. beat in eggs and vanilla. Pour over peaches do not stir. Place in a 350 degree oven for 15 min. Turn oven down to 300 cook for additional 40 minutes.
Cool on a wire rack. Serve with heavy cream or ice cream.
I used a deep dish pie plate and a ready made crust. The recipe was not intended for deep dish. So I added more peaches but did not increase the eggs. The custard was good but if there had another egg and a little more butter it would have been better in the deep dish.
