Ingredients:
- 2 ½ cups (315g) all-purpose flour
- 1 cup (225g) unsalted butter, chilled and cubed
- 1 tsp (6g) salt
- 6-8 tbsp (90-120ml) ice water
- 6 cups (900g) fresh peaches, peeled and sliced
- ½ cup (100g) granulated sugar
- ¼ cup (30g) cornstarch
- 1 tbsp (15ml) lemon juice
- 1 tsp (2g) ground cinnamon
- ¼ tsp (1g) ground nutmeg
- 1 egg (50g), beaten
- 1 tbsp (12g) coarse sugar
Instructions:
- Whisk flour and salt in a bowl.
- Use a pastry cutter to work the chilled butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs with some pea-sized lumps.
- Add ice water one tablespoon at a time, stirring until the dough just holds together.
- Divide dough into two discs, wrap in plastic, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to relax the gluten.
- In a large bowl, toss the sliced peaches with lemon juice.
- Sprinkle the reduced sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg over the fruit.
- Gently fold in the cornstarch, ensuring every peach slice is lightly coated to prevent clumping.
- Roll out one disc of dough and press it firmly into the bottom and sides of the pie dish.
- Pour in the peach mixture, smoothing the top with a spatula.
- Roll out the second disc to apply as the top crust.
