Autumn Peach (or Nectarine) Pie

In New York, peach and nectarine season extends into September, at which point I get cravings for warm, spiced flavors. A little less lemon, a touch of vanilla, and a subtle blend of spices is all it takes to carry peaches over the threshold into autumn. I recommend considering a bottom butter crust and a cornmeal pecan crumb on top, which gives this pie a pleasant crunch and even more autumnal flavor.
