World's Best Peach Pie
Ingredients
- 2 pie dough rounds homemade or store-bought
- 5 cups chopped fresh peaches or two (14.5 oz.) cans of sliced/chopped peaches, preferably "no sugar added"
- Juice of 1 lemon
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour plus more for dusting work surface
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
- 2 Tablespoons cold butter small diced
- 1 egg + 1 tsp. water for egg wash
- Coarse sugar for sprinkling, optional
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 450 degrees F.
- On a lightly floured surface, roll out each pie dough round (approx. 12-inch circle). Lay one pie dough inside pie dish and press in gently to fit.
- In a large bowl, mix peaches with lemon juice, flour, sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg and salt. Pour peaches into the pie crust. Sprinkle butter pieces over top. Lay other pie dough on top, or create a lattice weave with strips of pie dough. Gently press edges together, trimming any excess, to seal dough together. If using a full crust on top, cut slits to allow steam to escape.
- In a small bowl, whisk egg and water. Brush top of uncooked pie with egg wash. Sprinkle with coarse sugar, if desired.
- Bake for 10 minutes. Reduce heat to 350 degrees F, then bake for an additional 30-35 minutes, until crust is golden and peach juices are bubbling. If edges brown too quickly, cover with strips of aluminum foil about halfway through baking.
- Remove from oven. Let cool before slicing and serving.
- Enjoy!
