Ingredients

  • 2 refrigerated pie crusts
  • 5 cups peaches peeled and sliced
  • 1/2 Tbs lemon juice
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • 1/2 cup flour
  • 3/4 cup sugar
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp nutmeg
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp water
  • 2 Tbs cold butter cubed
  • Cinnamon sugar optional

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 450.
  • Peel and slice your peaches into about 1/2" in slices and add to bowl. Add in lemon juice and vanilla and stir. Add to a colander and drain (this helps the crust from being soggy.
  • In bowl add your flour, sugar, brown sugar, salt, cinnamon and nutmeg and stir with fork until combined. Add your peaches back to a bowl and sprinkle your dry ingredients over top and stir to combine.
  • Add one of your crusts to a standard pie plate (not a deep dish one). Mix together egg and water and brush pie crust with this mixture.
  • Pour your peach mixture into bottom of pie crust and spread over evenly then dot with butter pieces over the top.
  • Layer your other pie crust on top and crimp edges to seal. Slice about 8 slices in the center of your pie crust for venting then brush the whole top with your egg mixture then sprinkle with cinnamon sugar.
  • Bake in oven for 10 minutes then reduce your temperature to 350 and continue baking for about 30-35 minutes longer until crust is golden (add tinfoil or pie shield if edges are browning too quickly, remove and let cool.

Notes

  1. Brushing the crust with an egg wash helps it from becoming soggy at the bottom.
  2. Drain your peaches after you mix with lemon juice and vanilla, again this will help the pie from being too soggy.
  3. You can make a crumble topping for this recipe and I recommend using the topping from this recipe HERE.
  4. Not necessary but we love our peach pie sprinkled with cinnamon sugar, we mix together our own bottle of cinnamon sugar and use it on many things, but if you aren't too keen on that, you do not need to sprinkle.
  5. Cooling your pie as much as you can yields the best sturdy results, peach pie is better served warm or cool than hot.
  6. You can use all granulated sugar in this recipe instead of the brown sugar if you would like, this is a personal preference of ours.
