Ingredients

• 2.5 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 cup unsalted butter
• 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 6 tablespoons ice water
• 6 cups ripe peaches
• 0.75 cup light brown sugar
• 3 tablespoons cornstarch
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 large egg
• 1 tablespoon water
• 1 tablespoon coarse sugar

Directions

Step 1

In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, and salt.

Step 2

Add the cold, cubed butter to the flour mixture and use a pastry cutter or your fingers to work it in until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 3

Gradually drizzle in the ice water, one tablespoon at a time, mixing with a fork until the dough just comes together.

Step 4

Divide the dough in half, shape each half into a disc, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.

Step 5

Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).

Step 6

In a large mixing bowl, combine the sliced peaches, light brown sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice, cinnamon, nutmeg, and vanilla extract. Toss to coat evenly.

Step 7

Roll out one disc of dough on a lightly floured surface to fit a 9-inch pie dish. Transfer it to the dish and trim any excess dough.

Step 8

Pour the peach filling into the crust, spreading it out in an even layer.

Step 9

Roll out the second disc of dough and place it over the filling. Trim and crimp the edges to seal, and cut several slits in the top to allow steam to escape.

Step 10

In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and 1 tablespoon of water to make an egg wash. Brush the top crust with the egg wash and sprinkle it with coarse sugar.

Step 11

Place the pie on a baking sheet to catch any drips, then bake for 45-55 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.

Step 12

Allow the pie to cool at room temperature for at least 2 hours before slicing and serving.
