Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 whole (medium-sized) fresh peaches (ripe)
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter (cold)
- 2 (9-inch rounds) store-bought or homemade pie crusts
- 1 whole egg (for egg wash)
- 1 tablespoon water (for egg wash)
- 1 tablespoon optional: coarse sugar
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Wash, peel, and slice the peaches into thin wedges. Discard the pits.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the sliced peaches with the granulated sugar, all-purpose flour, ground cinnamon, and ground nutmeg. Toss gently to evenly coat the peaches. Set aside for 10 minutes to allow the juices to develop.
Roll out one of the pie crusts and fit it into a 9-inch pie dish, trimming any excess around the edges.
Pour the peach mixture into the prepared pie crust, spreading it evenly. Dot the filling with small pieces of the cold unsalted butter.
Roll out the second pie crust and place it over the peach filling. Trim the edges, and crimp them together with the bottom crust to seal. Optionally, cut slits or a decorative pattern into the top crust to allow steam to escape.
In a small bowl, whisk the egg with 1 tablespoon of water to make an egg wash. Brush it over the top crust for a golden finish. If desired, sprinkle coarse sugar on top.
Place the pie on a baking sheet to catch any bubbling juices and bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.
Allow the pie to cool for at least 2 hours before slicing and serving to let the filling set properly.
Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream, if desired.
