I love this recipe because it highlights the red interior of the halved peaches and looks gorgeous. It's faster to prepare because there's less slicing, and the single pie crust saves dough--no pun intended.

    I make this peach pie every summer and serve it with vanilla bean ice cream and coffee. However, I use a crust from the New Vegetarian Epicure, the lesser amount of sugar and two egg yolks. The NVE crust is all butter and no shortening. I think it gives it a lighter flavor. We all love this pie and yes, it is especially good the next day (if there is any left!).
    I've cooked/tasted this recipe!
    This is a variation

      I lost the recipe for this pie and was happy to see it here. It is the best pie ever. The picture does not do it justice.
