Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2
Sprinkle 1 teaspoon of all-purpose flour evenly over the bottom of the unbaked pie shell to help absorb moisture from the filling. Set aside.

In a large mixing bowl, combine 1/3 cup of the all-purpose flour, sugar, salt, nutmeg, corn syrup, and eggs. Mix on medium speed for about 1 minute until well combined and smooth.
4
Gently fold in the chopped peaches and melted butter until the peaches are evenly coated.
5
Pour the peach mixture into the prepared pie crust, spreading it evenly.
6
In a separate bowl, mix together the remaining all-purpose flour and brown sugar.
7
Using a pastry blender or your fingers, cut in the softened butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in the chopped pecans until they are well-distributed.
8
Sprinkle the pecan crumb topping evenly over the peach filling.
9
Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until the center of the pie is set. If the crust edges are browning too quickly, cover them with aluminum foil after 35 minutes of baking.
