Hi Reader,

This sour cream peach pie recipe came to me through a brand partnership years ago. It was a peaches-and-cream tart that I was asked to share. The original recipe is long gone (on both my site and the brand's site), but the recipe itself never left my kitchen.

Over time, I started adding nutmeg and cinnamon to the custard because the combination reminded me of one of my favourite doughnuts: the old-fashioned sour cream. That warm flavour of the spices pairs so nicely with sweet, juicy peaches.

I later discovered that the tart was actually very close to a traditional Southern sour cream peach pie, and the classic Elmira peach pie from here in Ontario.

Both typically include a brown sugar topping, so I've included that as an optional variation in case you'd like to try it.

I've also noticed, after making this recipe so many times, that the type of sour cream you use really makes a difference. I won't get into that here (this email is already getting long!), but you can check out the blog post to learn more.

I haven't had a chance to take new photos for this recipe yet, but I did grab a photo of the streusel version I made this week. I thought it would be nice to enjoy a slice out in my garden, but the bugs had other plans for me...

I personally think this pie is lovely without the streusel, because all that sugar can get in the way of the peach flavour.

But it's your pie, so make it the way you like it!

That's it for this week!

Have a great weekend,
