Wonderful when peaches are ripe, and even works with frozen peaches (though it's not nearly as good). From the King Arthur Flour web site.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 425; prepare pie shell: Prick the bottom of the crust with a fork and line it with pie weights (or a perforated nesting pie pan) to help the shell holds its shape; bake for 15 to 18 minutes, until it's lightly browned. Reduce oven heat to 400°F.
- Allow the crust to cool slightly before removing the weights or nested pan -- if the crust still managed to bubble, just prick it gently with a fork; it'll deflate as it cools.
- Prepare the filling: In a medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk together the sugar, flour and salt; add the eggs, cream, rum, and vanilla, and whisk together well.
- Let the mixture sit for 5 minutes, or the time it takes to peel and dice the peaches; whisk again just before pouring the custard into the pie shell.
- (This resting time allows the sugar to dissolve.) Pour the custard into the pre-baked pie shell, and spoon the peaches on top.
- Some will sink; that's OK, they're supposed to.
- Use a piecrust shield or aluminum foil to gently cover the outer edge of the crust.
- Bake the pie in a 400°F oven for 20 minutes.
- Make the topping while the pie bakes.
- Gingered Streusel Topping:If you have a food processor, just place all the topping ingredients into the work bowl and process, using the steel blade, until crumbs begin to form.
- To make by hand, whisk together the minced crystallized ginger, sugar, and flour, then stir in the melted butter.
- After the pie has baked for 20 minutes (it will have just begun to set up around the edges), carefully sprinkle the streusel over the top, leaving the pie crust shield in place.
- Bake for another 20 to 25 minutes, or until the pie has puffed, the streusel is very slightly browned at the edges, and/or an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center of the pie reads about 160°F.
- Remove the pie from the oven, and cool it on a rack for about 2 hours before serving.
- Refrigerate any leftover pie.

PEACH-CUSTARD PIE
With a sunny arrangement of peak peaches, this dessert is summer in a pie plate. Make a ring of foil to protect the crust from browning too quickly: Cut a piece twice the size of the pie, fold it in half, and cut a circle out of the center large enough to expose the top but cover the edges.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Make the crust: Roll out pate brisee to a 1/8-inch thickness on a lightly floured surface. Fit dough into a 9-inch pie plate, and trim crust to a 1-inch overhang using kitchen shears. Fold edges under, and press to seal using the tines of a fork. Prick bottom of pie all over with fork. Freeze for 15 minutes.
- Line crust with parchment, leaving an overhang on all sides. Fill completely with dried beans or rice. Bake for 20 minutes. Remove from oven; remove beans and parchment. Bake crust until bottom is lightly golden, about 11 minutes more. Let cool.
- Meanwhile, make the filling: Bring a pot of water to a boil. Prepare an ice-water bath. Cut a small X into the bottom of each peach. Boil for 1 minute; transfer to ice-water bath. Let cool slightly. Peel and pit peaches. Halve 7 of the 8 halves to form wedges.
- Whisk together eggs, sugar, butter, flour, and salt. Pour filling into pie crust. Place peach half in center, cut side down, and surround with wedges.
- Bake for 45 minutes. (Tent crust with a foil ring after 15 minutes.) Transfer to a wire rack; let cool for 1 hour. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving.
BRANDIED PEACH CUSTARD PIE
Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 450 degrees.
- For the peaches: Over high heat, in a saute pan, heat the butter. When the butter is hot add the sugar. Stir until the sugar is dissolved. Add the peaches and saute for 5 to 6 minutes, or until the sugar starts to turn dark amber in color. Incorporate the brandy into the peach mixture. Carefully ignite the brandy and flambe the peaches. Remove from heat and allow to cool, about 10 minutes.
- For the custard: In a mixing bowl, whisk all the ingredients together until fully incorporated. In an unbaked pie crust, spoon the brandied peaches over the pie crust. Place the crust in the oven and pour the custard into the shells. This prevents spilling the custard in the oven. Bake for 1 hour or until the custard sets. Place foil around the crust for the first 30 minutes and then remove. This keeps the crust from getting too brown. Allow to cool for about 30 minutes. Place a slice of the pie on the plate and garnish with powder sugar, whipped cream, and fresh mint.
- For the crust: In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, salt and sugar. Add the shortening and work it through with your hands until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Add the water, 1 tablespoon at a time, and work it in with your hands until you have a smooth ball of dough. Wrap the dough in plastic and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes. Remove the dough from the refrigerator and place it on a lightly floured surface. This recipe will make two pie crusts.
- For the individual crust: Divide the dough into fourths. Roll out the dough on the floured surface into a circle about 5 inches in diameter and 1/8-thick.
- For the whole pie crust: Roll out the dough on the floured surface into a circle about 14 inches in diameter and 1/8 inch thick. Gently fold the circles of dough in half and then in half again so that you can lift it without tearing it, and unfold into a 9-inch pie pan.

Tips for Making the Best Peach Custard Pie:
- **Selecting the Right Peaches:** Choose ripe, firm peaches with a deep orange color. Avoid peaches that are too soft or have bruises. - **Preparing the Pie Crust:** For a flaky crust, use a combination of butter and shortening. Work the butter and shortening into the flour until it resembles coarse crumbs. Do not overwork the dough, as this will make it tough. - **Baking the Pie Crust:** Pre-bake the pie crust for about 15-20 minutes before filling it. This will help to prevent a soggy bottom. - **Making the Custard Filling:** Whisk the eggs, sugar, cornstarch, and salt in a large bowl until smooth. Gradually whisk in the milk and cream. Cook the custard mixture over medium heat, stirring constantly, until it has thickened. - **Assembling the Pie:** Pour the custard filling into the pre-baked pie crust. Top with sliced peaches. Dot the top of the pie with butter. - **Baking the Pie:** Bake the pie at 350°F for 35-40 minutes, or until the peaches are tender and the top is golden brown.Conclusion:
