Pie Project Uno - Realized?

Well I made the peach pie over Labor Day weekend. I made a pie crust and baked it, and then I set it aside to cool. I sauteed about four sliced and peeled peaches in pan with butter, dark brown sugar, cinnamon and bourbon and carefully spooned them into the crust. I put it in the fridge to cool and made some caramel. I used a recipe for caramel meant for caramel apples and I spooned it over the top of the peaches. Then I made a custard similar to what you would find on a banana cream pie except I flavored it with almond extract instead of vanilla extract. For a final finishing touch I toasted up some slivered almonds in the pan that I used to cook the peaches and sprinkled them over the top of the pie. The almonds turned out almost candy coated. After everything cooled down in the refrigerator, I served it with whipped cream. After this initial pie, I think I need to make some changes to it before it is perfect. In the meantime, here is a picture of the pie, and if you have an idea for the name please let me know! I will be making the pie again this week and then posting the recipe.
