In small bowl, mix together egg, vinegar and water. Using a fork, gradually stir liquid into flour mixture, until entire mixture is moistened. On lightly floured surface, roll out dough. If dough sticks, place in refrigerator for a while. Transfer dough to 9-inch pie plate, Trim and flute shell. 4 In medium bowl, combine eggs, brown sugar, corn syrup, butter, vanilla, salt and liqueur. 5 Cover bottom of pie crust with chopped pecans. Spoon enough egg mixture over top of pecans to cover. 6 Add pecan halves (reserving some for sprinkling on top) and peach mixture to remaining egg mixture; mix well. Spoon onto top of pie. Sprinkle with remaining pecan halves. 7 Bake 45 to 50 minutes or until crust is golden.
