2 tablespoons whipping cream
1/4 cup firmly packed brown sugar
1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1 (9-inch) unbaked pie crust
- Preheat oven to 425°F.
- Toss peach slices with
sugar and nutmeg in a medium mixing bowl. Beat together egg and
cream and pour over peaches; set aside.
- In a separate bowl, mix
together brown sugar, softened butter; add flour until crumbly.
Pour peach mixture into pie crust; sprinkle streusel over peaches.
- Bake for 35 to 45 minutes
or until top is browning and peaches are fragrant and soft.
Makes 8 servings.
Cooking Tip: To make peeling
the peaches easier, prepare a large pot of rapidly boiling water
and a large container of ice-cold water. With a paring knife,
score an X in the skin on the bottom of each peach. Plunge peaches
into boiling water for about 30 seconds; transfer peaches directly
into the ice water. The skins should slip off easily.
