Ingredients

  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 4 medium-size fresh peaches, peeled, pitted, and cut into 1/4-inch wedges
  • 1/4 cup brandy
  • 2 cups heavy cream
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup firmly packed light brown sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
  • 1 unbaked 9-inch Basic Savory Piecrust
  • Confectioners' sugar
  • Sprigs of fresh mint
  • 1 cup Sweetened Whipped Cream

Directions

Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Heat the butter in a large saute pan over high heat. Add the granulated sugar and stir until it dissolves. Add the peaches and cook, stirring, until the sugar starts to turn dark amber in color, 5 to 6 minutes. Add the brandy, carefully ignite it, and flambe the peaches. Remove from the heat and allow to cool for about 10 minutes. In a large mixing bowl, combine the heavy cream, eggs, brown sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg and whisk until smooth. Fit the rolled-out dough into a 9-inch pie pan, trimming and crimping the edges. Spoon the peach mixture into the piecrust. Place aluminum foil around the crust to prevent it from browning too much, then bake for 30 minutes. Remove the foil, then pour the cream mixture over the peaches. Bake until the custard sets, about 1 hour. Remove from the oven and let cool for about 20 minutes. To serve, place a slice of the pie on each plate and garnish with the confectioners' sugar, mint sprigs, and whipped cream.

    The filling has good taste but don't try cooking naything at 450 for an hour.
    The recipe calls for the first part 30 minutes at 450 fine, but if you try the custard part at 450 for an hour, make sure your smoke detector is turned off.

    I came across this recipe in one of Emeril's cookbooks and thought it sounded wonderful. However, it seems that maybe the oven temp should be reduced when the custard is added to the pie. Mine ended up black on top and cooked through after less than 1/2 hour at 450. Even though it was ugly, I still tasted some and it was pretty good. May try again and adjust temp.
