A delightful summertime pie, this dessert is overflowing with fresh peach flavor. Each sweet slice is packed with old-fashioned appeal. The streusel topping makes this pie a little different than the ordinary and adds homemade flair. —Sally Holbrook, Pasadena, California

Ingredients

Pastry for single-crust pie (9 inches)
1 large egg white, lightly beaten
6 cups sliced peeled fresh peaches
2 tablespoons plus 3/4 cup all-purpose flour, divided
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
1/3 cup sugar
1/4 cup cold butter, cubed

Directions

On a lightly floured surface, roll dough to a 1/8-in.-thick circle; transfer to a 9-in. pie plate. Trim crust to 1/2 in. beyond rim of plate; flute edge. Brush egg white over dough; refrigerate while making filling.
In a large bowl, combine peaches and 2 tablespoons flour; toss to coat. In a small bowl, combine remaining 3/4 cup flour and sugars; cut in butter until mixture resembles fine crumbs. Sprinkle two-thirds into pastry; top with peach mixture. Sprinkle with remaining crumb mixture.
Bake at 375° for 40-45 minutes or until filling is bubbly and peaches are tender. Cover with foil during the last 15 minutes if it begins to brown too quickly.

I found this pie to be a bit bland. I didn't care for the sugar mixture in the bottom of the pie but my friends all enjoyed it. It was easy to put together and a great way to use up extra peaches.

Absolutely wonderful! We enjoyed this immensely, using the last of our last year's frozen peaches....now I eagerly await the new crop to bake again. Thank you Sally, for sharing your family treasure!

Delicious!! I also added a touch of cinnamon and nutmeg to the topping, simply a personal taste. The purpose of the egg white wash on the bottom crust is to prevent a soggy crust when you use fruit fillings. A lot of people don't understand why that was added, and that's the reason. Very nice, simple and delicious pie recipe. Thank you for sharing.

Outstanding, and so easy! I used a refrigerated pie crust - did not use the egg wash. Used fresh Georgia peaches (about 8-9) and added 2 tsp. of Penzey's Pie Spice - the flavor was out of this world! Definitely will make this again and again!

I made this for a dessert auction to send a Jr high kid to camp and it was sold fast and the family that bought the pie after they ate a slice all agreed they made an excellent choice.
