Recipe: Peach Praline Pie

PEACH PRALINE PIE

9-inch unbaked pie shell
PRALINE TOPPING:
1/2 cup firmly packed brown sugar
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
3 tablespoons cold butter
1/2 cup chopped pecans
FILLING:
4 cups ripe peach slices
2 tablespoons plus 1 teaspoon all-purpose flour
2/3 cup sugar
1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice

Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.

Prepare the praline topping by combining the brown sugar, and 1/4 cup flour, and cutting in the butter with a pastry blender, until mixture has a crumbly texture. Stir in the chopped pecans. Sprinkle one-third of the mixture in the bottom of the unbaked pie shell.

Combine the sliced peaches, 2/3 cup sugar, 2 tablespoons flour, and lemon juice, and pour into pie shell over praline mixture. Sprinkle remaining praline mixture evenly over peaches.

Bake for 45 minutes to 50 minutes, or until syrup boils in heavy bubbles that do not burst.

Serve warm, with or without vanilla ice cream.
