This recipe was published in the Star Tribune many years ago. It was served in the Minnesota Arboretum Tea Room at that time and the recipe was requested by a reader. Now that it is peach season, I thought it would be timely to post. It is a delicious pie and easy to prepare.

Peach Streusel Pie a la Arboretum

9" unbaked pie shell
For topping:
2/3 cup sifted flour
1/3 cup light brown sugar
1/3 cup butter
For filling:
2 lb. fresh ripe peaches
1 tbsp. lemon juice
2 tbsp. flour
3/4 cup sugar
Dash of salt
1 tsp. cinnamon

Prepare pie shell. Refrigerate until used.
Make topping by combining flour and sugar in medium bowl. Cut in butter with a pastry blender until mixture resembles coarse cornmeal.
Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
Make filling: peel peaches, remove pits and slice thin. Place in large bowl and sprinkle with lemon juice. Combine flour, sugar, salt and cinnamon, mixing well. Toss lightly with the peaches. Turn filling into unbaked pie shell, spreading evenly. Cover with the topping. Bake at 400 degrees for 40 to 45 minutes, or until tender. Serves 6 to 8.
