Georgia Peach Pie

My mom's summer dessert! So easy and fast to make. A vanilla meringue base with pecans is topped with sliced peaches and whipped cream. Make it early in the day; the longer the peaches sit on the crust the better!!!

Ingredients

• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 cup white sugar
• ½ cup chopped pecans
• ¼ teaspoon baking powder
• 3 egg whites
• 2 cups sweetened whipped cream
• 14 saltine crackers, finely crushed
• 7 fresh peaches - peeled, pitted, and sliced

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).

Step 2

In a large glass or metal bowl, whip the egg whites until they can hold a peak. Gradually sprinkle in the sugar, while continuing to whip the egg whites to stiff peaks. Fold in saltines, vanilla, baking powder and pecans. Spread evenly into an ungreased 9 inch deep dish pie plate.

Step 3

Bake for 30 minutes in the preheated oven, or until a skewer inserted into the center comes out clean. Remove from the oven, and cool. The crust will puff and crack as it cools.

Step 4

When crust is completely cool, arrange sliced peaches over the top. Cover with aluminum foil to protect their color until serving. Top with sweetened whipped cream just before serving.
