When peach season arrives, this great, old-fashioned pie is sure to be on the table. The recipe has been in our family for over 60 years, and I still make it every summer. Butterscotch buffs love it. —Barbara Moyer, Tiffin, Ohio

Butterscotch Peach Pie Recipe

Prep: 30 min. + chilling Bake: 45 min. + cooling

Yield: 8 Servings

30 45 75

Ingredients

2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup shortening
4 to 5 tablespoons cold water
FILLING:
3/4 cup packed brown sugar
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1/3 cup light corn syrup
3 tablespoons butter, melted
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1/4 teaspoon almond extract
8 medium peaches, peeled and sliced

Directions

In a large bowl, combine flour and salt; cut in shortening until crumbly. Gradually add water, tossing with a fork until dough forms a ball. Cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes or until easy to handle.
For filling, in a small saucepan, combine brown sugar and flour. Stir in corn syrup and butter until blended. Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 2 minutes or until thickened. Remove from the heat; stir in lemon juice and extract. Place peaches in a large bowl; add syrup mixture and toss to coat.
Divide dough in half so one ball is slightly larger than the other. Roll out larger ball to fit a 9-in. pie plate. Transfer to pie plate; trim pastry to 1/2 in. beyond rim of plate. Add filling. Roll out remaining pastry; make a lattice crust. Trim, seal and flute edges. Cover edges loosely with foil.
Bake at 375° for 25 minutes. Uncover; bake 20-25 minutes longer or until crust is golden brown and filling is bubbly. Cool on a wire rack. Yield: 8 servings.

GOOD BUT I COULD NOT TASTE THE BUTTERSCOTCH.

btaylor1, what did you use for the top since you used store bought top?

Very tasty, fairly simple to put togther. Filling was a little thin, but the flavor was excellent.

This is delicious, even with my store-bought crust. I served each piece with a swirl of butterscotch topping on the plate, and it looked and tasted great.
