Ingredients
  

Pie Crust
  • 2 sheets refrigerated pie crusts
Filling
  • 6 cups fresh peaches, peeled and sliced ~6-8 medium peaches
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoons butter, cut into small pieces
Egg Wash (Optional)
  • 1 egg
  • 1 tablespoon water

Equipment

  • 9-inch pie dish
  • large bowl
  • wire rack

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and grab a 9-inch pie dish.
  2. In a large bowl, gently toss the sliced peaches with sugar, flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, and lemon juice until they are evenly coated.
  3. Place one pie crust into the pie dish and pour in the peach filling.
Assembly and Baking
  1. Dot the top of the peach filling with the small pieces of butter.
  2. Cover the pie with the second crust, crimp the edges to seal, and cut several slits in the top for steam to escape.
  3. Mix the egg with water for the egg wash, then brush it over the top of the pie crust for a golden finish.
  4. Bake the pie for 15 minutes at 425°F (220°C), then reduce the oven temperature to 375°F (190°C) and continue baking for another 30-40 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
Cooling
  1. Allow the peach pie to cool on a wire rack for at least 2-3 hours before slicing and serving, allowing the filling to set properly.

Notes

For the best flavor, use ripe, in-season peaches. If using frozen peaches, thaw them and drain any excess liquid before using. A lattice top crust can also be used for a decorative touch. Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra treat.
