Ingredients
  • 2 1/2 cups All-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon Salt
  • 1 cup (2 sticks) Cold unsalted butter, cut into cubes
  • 6-8 tablespoons Ice water
  • 6-8 medium Fresh peaches, peeled and sliced
  • 3/4 cup Granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup Cornstarch
  • 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
  • 1/2 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
  • 1 Egg, beaten (for egg wash)
  • 1 tablespoon Turbinado sugar (for sprinkling)

Making the Pie Crust

Combine flour and salt in a large bowl. Cut in cold butter using a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Gradually add ice water, one tablespoon at a time, mixing until the dough just comes together. Form the dough into a disc, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

Preparing the Peach Filling

In a large bowl, gently toss the sliced peaches with sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice, and cinnamon until evenly coated. Let the mixture sit for 15 minutes to allow the peaches to release their juices.

Assembling the Pie

Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). On a lightly floured surface, roll out half of the dough to a 12-inch circle. Carefully transfer the dough to a 9-inch pie plate. Trim and crimp the edges. Pour the peach filling into the pie crust. Roll out the remaining dough and cut into strips to create a lattice top, or use a cookie cutter to create decorative shapes. Brush the crust with beaten egg and sprinkle with turbinado sugar.

Baking the Pie

Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly. If the crust starts to brown too quickly, cover the edges with aluminum foil. Let the pie cool completely on a wire rack before serving.

Serving Suggestions

Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for an extra-special treat.

FAQ

  • Can I use frozen peaches?

    Yes, you can use frozen peaches. Thaw them completely and drain any excess liquid before using them in the filling.
  • How do I prevent the bottom crust from getting soggy?

    Blind bake the bottom crust for 15 minutes before adding the filling. This will help to create a crispier crust. You can also sprinkle the bottom crust with a thin layer of almond flour before adding the filling to absorb excess moisture.
  • Can I make the pie crust ahead of time?

    Yes, you can make the pie crust ahead of time. Wrap it tightly in plastic wrap and store it in the refrigerator for up to 2 days or in the freezer for up to 2 months. Thaw completely before using.
