Ingredients

Scale

Pie Crust:

  • Recipe yielding two crusts for a 9 inch pie or 1 package pastry for a 9 inch double crust pie (15 ounces)

Peach Filling:

  • 5 cups sliced peaches (sliced about 1/2 inch thick)
  • 1 egg, beaten
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup cornstarch
  • 3/4 cup white sugar
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons cold butter

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven: Preheat the oven to 450 degrees Fahrenheit.
  2. Prepare the peaches: In a large bowl, combine the sliced peaches and lemon juice. Drain the peaches in a colander for 10-15 minutes to remove excess juice.
  3. Prepare the crust: Place one pie crust in a 9-inch pie pan. Brush the crust with beaten egg to prevent sogginess.
  4. Make the filling: In a medium bowl, mix flour, cornstarch, sugars, cinnamon, and salt. Fold in the drained peaches.
  5. Assemble the pie: Pour the peach mixture into the crust, dot with butter, and cover with the top crust. Brush with beaten egg and vent with slits. Optionally, sprinkle sugar on top.
  6. Bake the pie: Bake at 450°F for 10 minutes, then reduce the heat to 350°F. Bake for an additional 30-35 minutes until the crust is golden and the filling bubbles. If needed, cover edges with foil to prevent over-browning.
  7. Cool and serve: Allow the pie to cool completely, then refrigerate for a couple of hours before serving.

Notes

  • For a decorative touch, sprinkle sugar on top of the crust before baking.
  • Refrigerating the pie after baking helps set the filling for easier slicing.
