Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 cup Unsalted butter (cold, cubed)
- 6 tablespoons Ice water
- 6 cups Fresh peaches (peeled, pitted, and sliced)
- 1 cup Brown sugar
- 3 tablespoons Cornstarch
- 0.5 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoons Ground nutmeg
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 1 unit Egg (beaten, for egg wash)
- 1 tablespoon Granulated sugar (for sprinkling over crust)
Instructions
In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, and salt.
Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, cut the cold, cubed butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
Gradually add the ice water, 1 tablespoon at a time, mixing until the dough just comes together. Do not overmix.
Divide the dough in half, shape into disks, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
In a large bowl, combine the sliced peaches, brown sugar, cornstarch, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, vanilla extract, and lemon juice. Toss to coat evenly. Let it sit for 10 minutes.
On a floured surface, roll out one of the dough disks into a 12-inch circle. Transfer it to a 9-inch pie dish and gently press it into the bottom and sides.
Pour the peach filling into the pie crust, spreading it out evenly.
Roll out the second dough disk into another 12-inch circle. Place it over the top of the peaches and trim any excess dough.
Seal the edges by crimping them together, and cut a few small slits in the center of the top crust to allow steam to escape.
Brush the top crust with the beaten egg and sprinkle with 1 tablespoon of granulated sugar for a golden, sparkling finish.
Place the pie on a baking sheet to catch any juices that may spill over. Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes.
Reduce the oven temperature to 375°F (190°C) and continue baking for 45 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the peach filling is bubbling.
Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool on a wire rack for at least 2 hours before serving to allow the filling to set.
Slice and enjoy your Delicious Unbelievable Peach Pie!
