I ended up with a GREAT pie but I felt that I had to adjust this recipe too much. I will not be using it again.
First of all, I made this into a Peach Raspberry pie but substituting some of the peaches for 2 cartons of fresh raspberries.
Like everyone else said, it was too runny, even with added cornstarch. Cornstarch is much better for fruit pies so it should probably be used in replace of the flour. Luckily my lattice top held up nicely because I ended up pouring much of the liquid out through the top! After it cooled, I put it in the fridge to help it set up a bit too. Thankfully all this helped and it had a nice consistency when I served it. Also, I have never seen a pie recipe that bakes at 350.. thats way too low. I started it at 350 and then realized there was no way it was going to bake right so I changed it to 425 and basically baked it for the full time at that temp. Worked perfectly.
I substituted half of the white sugar for brown sugar, like other reviewers.. I added in some vanilla extract and I mixed everything together instead of layering. I also added cinnamon and nutmeg into my pie crust, and a bit of ginger into the pie. I ended up with a great pie but basically changed the whole recipe.
