Description

A delightful dessert celebrating the sweet, juicy goodness of fresh peaches, perfect for summer gatherings.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 pounds peaches, preferably freestone
  • 1 large lemon
  • 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 5 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
  • 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
  • All-purpose flour, for dusting
  • 1 package prepared pie crusts (or homemade double pie crust)
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tablespoon water
  • 3 tablespoons coarse sugar (for topping)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a rimmed baking sheet with foil or parchment paper.
  2. Score an “X” on the bottom of each peach, blanch them in boiling water for 1 minute, then transfer to an ice bath, peel, pit, and slice into 1-inch pieces.
  3. In a large bowl, mix the peach slices with lemon zest, lemon juice, sugars, cornstarch, vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and salt.
  4. Roll out one pie crust on a floured surface, transfer it to a 9-inch pie pan, and press into the bottom and sides. Fill with the peach mixture.
  5. Roll out the second crust, cut it into strips, and weave a lattice pattern over the filling.
  6. Pinch the edges of the crust together, then brush with egg wash (1 beaten egg + 1 tbsp water). Sprinkle with coarse sugar.
  7. Place the pie on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 60–65 minutes, until the filling is bubbly and the crust is golden. If the crust browns too fast, cover with foil.
  8. Let the pie cool for at least 3 hours before slicing. Enjoy!

Notes

Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream. Store leftovers in the refrigerator for 3-4 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
