Filling
- 7 large peaches pealed and sliced
- 2 tbsp lemon juice
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- ⅓ cup brown sugar
- ¾ tsp cinnamon
- ¼ tsp nutmeg
- ¼ tsp salt
- ⅓ cup cornstarch
Using a food processor, mix together butter, flour and salt. Mix for 2-3 seconds until the dough forms small chunks.
Add water, one tablespoon at a time, to the mixture and mix for 10 seconds. Continue adding water until the dough starts to form large clumps. Be careful not to add too much water.
Place the dough onto a lightly floured surface and press it into the shape of a ball using your hands. Carefully flatten it into a disc. Wrap the dough in two layers of plastic wrap and immediately place it in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour. Be careful not to overwork the dough.
Lightly flour your workspace and remove the dough from the refrigerator. Using a rolling pin, evenly roll the dough into a circle. Roll the dough until it is 3 inches larger than your pie dish.
Transfer the dough to a pie dish by folding it in half and then into a quarter. Carefully unfold the dough in the pie dish. Once the dough has been arranged in the dish, you can create your crust pattern.
Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for an additional 30 minutes.
Filling
Preheat oven to 375℉
Mix sliced peaches and lemon juice together.
In a separate bowl, mix together granulated sugar, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg salt, and cornstarch. Pour the peaches into the sugar mixture and carefully stir. Set aside
Crumble Topping
Cut the cold butter into cubes and place in a bowl. Add brown sugar, flour, cinnamon, salt, and vanilla extract. Mix together using a pastry cutter.
Remove the pie crust from the refrigerator and fill it with the peach filling. Then, sprinkle the crumb mixture evenly over the top.
Bake for 20 minutes at 375℉, then turn the oven up to 400℉ and bake for an additional 25 minutes.
-
- Use just ripe peaches: Choose peaches that are just ripe, as overly ripe peaches will fall apart and be difficult to peel.
-
- Storage: Leftover peach pie will keep on the kitchen counter for 3-4 days, covered with a pie cover or aluminum foil. To extend its shelf life, you can place the pie in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 week or the freezer for up to 3 months.
-
- Plan accordingly: Because the crust needs to rest twice, you’ll need to get the dough started well before you want to serve the pie.
-
- For easy peeling: Place the peaches in a pot of boiling water for a few seconds, and once cool, remove the peels.
-
- Cool completely: Allow the pie to cool before slicing so the filling has time to firm up.
