Ingredients
- 6 large fresh peaches
- 0.75 cup granulated sugar
- 0.25 cup brown sugar
- 3 tablespoons cornstarch
- 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon almond extract
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 pre-made pie crusts
- 1 large egg
- 0.25 cup sliced almonds
- 1 tablespoon water
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Step 2
Peel and slice the peaches into thin wedges, discarding the pits.
Step 3
In a large mixing bowl, combine the peaches, granulated sugar, brown sugar, cornstarch, ground cinnamon, and almond extract. Gently toss until the peaches are well-coated and set aside.
Step 4
Roll out one of the pie crusts and carefully press it into a 9-inch pie pan, ensuring it covers the bottom and sides.
Step 5
Pour the peach mixture into the crust, arranging it evenly. Dot the filling with small pieces of the unsalted butter.
Step 6
Roll out the second pie crust and place it over the peaches. You can leave it whole or cut it into strips to create a lattice pattern. Trim any excess crust from the edges and crimp to seal.
Step 7
In a small bowl, beat the egg with the tablespoon of water to make an egg wash. Brush this mixture over the top crust to give it a golden finish.
Step 8
Sprinkle the sliced almonds evenly over the top crust.
Step 9
Place the pie on the center rack of the preheated oven and bake for 45 minutes or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.
Step 10
Allow the pie to cool for at least 2 hours before serving to allow the filling to set.
