French Vanilla Crunchy Peach Pie
Pie of Emeril's Eye Contest Honorable Mention
This is my mother's original pie crust recipe. She is 91 years old and has made pies all of her life. She taught me how to make this recipe when I was very young. After many trials and errors with peach pie recipes, one day I decided to try the almonds and instant pudding, and this recipe has been a family favorite ever since!
