Streusel Cream Peach Pie

truebrit's Note:

This is one of the Recipezaar recipes I 'adopted' a couple of years ago. After receiving a review, I decided to try the pie myself, and WOW,it's delicious! I prepared a homemade pie shell using real butter, and used a 1 lb. bag of frozen peaches. (Thawed and well-drained.) A heavenly aroma filled the whole house as the pie was baking, and the family and I could hardly wait for it to cool down to try a slice! Do try this; you won't be disappointed!

Loved the flavor. Great pie - and easy!

Sorry, Truebrit, but this just didn't work for me. I found that the custard really was rather dry..maybe it would be better doubled. I'll try that next time as I really like a custard peach pie.
