Peaches & Cream Pie

With only two entries for peach pie at the Illinois State Fair this year, I figured I should start making peach pies to find a good one to enter next year.  I'd be guaranteed at least third place, right?

I decided to try Four & Twenty Blackbirds' Peaches & Cream Pie with a double crust (peach pies must have a double crust for the state fair).  This was a terrible idea.

Out of the oven, the pie looked beautiful.  However, the recipe warns against over cooking as the custard will separate.  It did.  It got clumpy and gritty.  The taste was still amazing, but the texture was rather off-putting.

Back to the cutting board...

Piece out!
