Method
 

Preparation Steps
  1. Begin by blanching the fresh peaches in boiling water for about 30 seconds, then transfer them to an ice bath. Peel, slice, and mix with sugar.
  2. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Roll out the pie crust, fit it into a pie dish, and prick the bottom with a fork.
  3. In a bowl, whisk together eggs, sugar, flour, and salt. Gradually add milk, heavy cream, and vanilla, whisking until frothy.
  4. Arrange the macerated peach slices in the pre-baked crust and pour the custard mixture over the peaches.
  5. Bake for 40-50 minutes until the custard is set around the edges and lightly golden on top.
  6. Let the pie cool for at least 30 minutes on a wire rack, then refrigerate for at least another 2 hours.
  7. Serve chilled or at room temperature, optionally garnished with powdered sugar or whipped cream.
