This recipe is so easy since it's really only the cream that requires a "recipe."  Once you know how to make the cream, you can make any kind of cream pie you want.  It's SO easy (which is why I could make it!!:)

Ingredients:

One 9-inch pie crust

2 large ripe nectarines, peeled and sliced

Cream filling

Mix these dry ingredients:

• 2/3 C sugar
• 5 Tbsp flour
• 1/4 tsp salt

2. Place fruit in unbaked pie crust.
3. Pour cream over fruit

Substitutions, Options, Meal Suggestions: 

*This cream will work for almost any fruit pie. I've made it with peaches, pears, nectarines, blackberries, raspberries, and rhubarb (but for rhubarb, add an extra 1/4 C of sugar).
