Appalachian Peach Pie

Last week I had some peaches that we picked up in South Carolina that I needed to use up. I had a cobbler recipe that I worked on last year, which my mother-in-law really likes, but I wanted to try something new, and I had a craving for a custard. I began playing around with a couple of recipes, like my Buttermilk Pie, but didn’t want to mess with a pie crust. So as I started researching recipes, which is where I begin when developing a new recipe, and looking at flavor combos. I liked the idea of the sweetness of the peaches balanced with the tang of the buttermilk, and I love the nuttiness of browned butter. So the Buttermilk Peach Skillet Custard was born.
