Peach Praline Pie Recipe

Here is a great summer favorite when the fresh peaches are available. Top with a big scoop of vanilla ice cream for a real treat. Also, try a slice of cheese melted on top. Ummmm, good!

9 inch unbaked deep-dish pie shell
1/2 cup sugar
3 1/2 tbsp quick-cooking tapioca

1/2 cup pecan pieces
4 tbsp cold unsalted butter
