Ingredients:

  • 2 ½ cups (315g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup (225g) unsalted butter, chilled and cubed
  • 1 tsp (6g) salt
  • 1 tbsp (12g) granulated sugar
  • 6-8 tbsp (90-120ml) ice water
  • 6 cups (approx. 1kg) fresh peaches, peeled and sliced
  • ¾ cup (150g) granulated sugar
  • ¼ cup (30g) cornstarch
  • 1 tsp (2g) ground cinnamon
  • ¼ tsp (1g) ground nutmeg
  • 1 tbsp (15ml) lemon juice
  • 2 tbsp (28g) unsalted butter, diced small
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tbsp water
  • 1 tbsp (12g) coarse sugar

Instructions:

  1. Pulse flour, salt, and sugar in a food processor; add cold butter and pulse until the mixture resembles coarse meal.
  2. Gradually add ice water, 1 tablespoon at a time, pulsing until the dough just begins to clump.
  3. Divide dough into two discs, wrap in plastic, and chill for at least 1 hour.
  4. In a large bowl, toss sliced peaches with lemon juice, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
  5. Sprinkle sugar and cornstarch evenly over the fruit. Gently fold to coat, ensuring no clumps of starch remain.
  6. Let the mixture sit for 15 minutes to allow a thick syrup to form.
  7. Roll out the first disc of dough to 12 inches and press it into the pie dish.
  8. Pour in the peach mixture and dot the top with diced butter pieces.
