Learn how to make a fresh peach pie with juicy peaches, warm spices, and a flaky lattice crust. A classic summer dessert everyone loves!
Equipment
1 9" or 10" pie dish
Ingredients
¾ cup + 1 Tablespoongranulated sugar, divided
¼cuplight brown sugar, packed
⅓cupcorn starch, can substitute for flour
¼teaspoonground cinnamon
5cupspeeled and sliced peaches(about 7 peaches)
2pie crusts, unbaked
1largeegg white, whisked
For serving: Whipped cream or Vanilla ice cream
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 400°F. Place a baking sheet in the oven.
In a large bowl, mix together the 3/4 cup sugar, 1/4 cup brown sugar, 1/3 cup corn starch, and 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon. Add 5 cups peaches and stir until well coated.
Par-bake bottom crust. On a floured-work surface, roll 1 pie crust to fit a 9- to 10-inch pie dish. Transfer to dish and tuck under the edges. Cover with foil and add beads or dry beans to the center. Place on baking sheet and bake 10 minutes, or until lightly golden brown.
While it bakes, roll the remaining pie crust into a large enough circle to fit the pie dish.
Add filling, top with crust. Using a slotted spoon, scoop the peach filling into the baked pie crust, leaving any excess juice in the bowl. Top peaches with pie crust (I used a lattice crust), trimming any excess dough. Using a pastry brush, coat the top with egg white. Sprinkle with remaining 1 Tablespoon sugar.
Bake 20 minutes. Reduce heat to 350°F. Bake 40 minutes, or until crust is golden brown. If crust is browning too fast, cover with foil. Let cool 1 to 2 hours to set before slicing.
Serve with fresh whipped cream or vanilla ice cream.
