With the final days of summer quickly dwindling away I find myself trying to get in as much enjoyment of the fresh fruits and vegetables as I can. The peaches at the farmers market are still looking amazing and I thought that it was the perfect time to try making the sour cream peach pecan pie that I came across on very culinary . I had recently tried making and enjoyed a sour cream pie so I knew that the sour cream filling part of the pie would be great. You can’t go wrong topping treats like this off with crumbs and I really liked the idea of all of the pecans in the crumbs. With the pecans in the crumb topping it got me thinking about the maple pecan pie that I made a while ago and I could not resist mixing some maple into the pie in the form of maple sugar in both the sour cream filling and the crumb topping. The maple sour cream peach pecan pie turned out great! The peach, sour cream and maple flavour combo was amazingly good! The pecan filled crumb topping also went really well with the peach filling and the light and flaky pasty finished off the pie perfectly. What a great way to enjoy the fresh local peaches!

I love the brilliant addition of peach to this pie.

that looks FABULOUS! i need to find some more peaches 😉
Peaches and cream but just in a more excellent way!!! I love the idea!!!
Pecan pie is probably my ultimate favorite pie ever. I love the addition of th peaches and sour cream. Definitely brings a twist to a classic!!
This looks awesome! I love how it is a little bit of summer (peaches) and a little bit of fall (maple) as we are in transition from one season to the next. I wanted to let you know that I featured your blog and some of your recipes on my blog. I currently live in FL but am a native Torontonian too! 🙂 Here is the link:

Wow, you still amaze me with how varied you continue to cook. Peach pie is probably my favorite. My Assyrian Grandfather grew 40 acres of peaches but Assyrians don't really make pie. Pecans, maple, I am in love.
I have missed reading you, just been busy with life.
Hope you are well.
A heavenly pie! Irresistible!
Cheers,

the peach makes this for me! now all i want is a fork! looks grand!
this pecan pie is extra yummy!
Oh, maple sour cream…now that's how to do peach pie.
Now this pie is just pure brilliance!!!! Kevin you have surely outdone yourself on this one!
Thanks for the mention, Kevin – much appreciated! I am thrilled you liked the pie. I had a few readers who also made it and shared my love. It's definitely a winner.
Your maple addition is a great idea. And I like the apricot preserves substitution.
Now I want to make it again!!
This pie looks good! I love pecans.
That sounds delish, I have never used sour cream in a pie before!
My husband would go absolutely wild for this… he loves all of these flavors, and he never, ever gets indulged with pecans.
What a nice recipe. Great combination of flavours and textures!
Greetings,

This looks delicious! Everything about this pie sounds right.
*speechless* This is off the chains!!! You have started a movement.
Wow this sounds wonderful with the peaches and topping!
oh my god – could this sound any more appetizing and delicious!
I'm sad to see peaches, watermelon, strawberries, et cetera go out of season. I purchased a watermelon at the store yesterday and thought "this could be my last one of the season." On the flip side, I'm excited to see pumpkin coming back. There is something so "comforting" about pumpkin.
Sorry for rambling 😉
