Well, update:
Used a regular cake pan (about 22cm I think, with removable bottom, which turned out to be a very good thing), and the pie was incredible. :) Huzzah!

This is probably not gonna reach you in time (especially since it appears at the bottom of a wave of spam), but I am making this pie today, and suddenly realised we don’t have a pie-dish. I am trying to think of possible replacements, but I’m a bit nervous about using a regular cake pan (especially since the smallest we have is around 24cm – about 9.5″ – and also seems deeper than the dish in your pictures) or a tart pan (also larger than 9″, but shallow – maybe too shallow?). Neither seem exactly right.
If you do see this over the next few hours, can you offer any advice on this? I’d hate to ruin a pie this awesome.
Thanks!!

Thank you,SR, for this recipe!
I have made it three times, and each time I have been told it is the BEST pie that they have ever eaten! One person just came up to me, plate of pie in hand, whimpering, pointing to the pie, and whimpering some more….pie’d speechless…high praise indeed :-)
It is a pretty easy pie to pull together. Only change I made was to the crust, mixing 1/3 cup water with 4 tbsp half & half, and adding it to the flour/butter mixture.as well as a sprinkle of cinnamon to the dry ingredients…flaky, yummy crust indeed!

I don’t know if this is a good pie for figs. However, I have a recipe for a pizza (in archives) where figs might be the perfect addition: http://www.sassyradish.com/archives/2008/11/post.html

Been thinking about making this ever since I saw the title… maybe today. Who knows.
By the way, do you think it’ll work with figs, as well? Our fig trees are overflowing. And the flavours seem like they can fit, but I’m not sure.

This pie looks phenomenal! What a delicious flavor combination. A perfect way to celebrate summer fruit.

Oh, gosh, that’s giving me serious pie envy! I made my first pie (and pie crust) recently and, while the flavor was great, the crust was not flaky enough. It was really hot and things melted instantaneously, and yes, my pie crust smelled fear. Pie crust = 1, Irene = 0. But you know what, I decided not to complicate my life with worries about pie and we ate it anyway. :) Thank you for the fantastic tips, your pie crust looks absolutely perfect! I love the combination of peaches and honey (and well… bourbon, hell yeah).

It’s not a do-or-die, but it does help. You can always make crust by hand!

The pie looks divine! I can’t wait til it’s NZ’s turn for summer again. I’ll have to make sure I get my fancy food processor by then eh?

EB – pie dough crusts are like dogs, i swear! :)
Lisa – premade pie dough has worked for me in a pinch! so absolutely. But if your kitchen allows for a stand (mine’s stainless steel top where i do all of my cooking, i highly recommend getting it.
