**Instructions:***

1. **Prepare the Pie Crust:**
– In a large bowl, combine the flour and salt.
– Cut in the cold butter using a pastry cutter or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
– Gradually add ice water, one tablespoon at a time, mixing until the dough comes together.
– Form the dough into a disc, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

2. **Prepare the Filling:**
– In a medium bowl, mix the sour cream (or Greek yogurt), sugar, vanilla extract, egg, and flour until smooth.
– Gently fold in the peach slices.

3. **Prepare the Streusel Topping:**
– In a small bowl, combine the flour and brown sugar.
– Cut in the cold butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
– If using, mix in the sliced almonds.

4. **Assemble the Pie:**
– Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
– Roll out the chilled pie dough on a lightly floured surface and fit it into a 9-inch pie dish.
– Pour the peach cream filling into the prepared crust.
– Sprinkle the streusel topping evenly over the filling.

5. **Bake the Pie:**
– Bake the pie in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until the filling is set and the topping is golden brown.
– If the crust or topping starts to brown too quickly, cover the edges with aluminum foil.

6. **Cool and Serve:**
