Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Pie Crust
  • 2 ½ cups 325g all-purpose flour (divided)
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup 224g cold unsalted butter, cubed
  • ¼ – ½ cup ice water
Peach Filling
  • 8 –10 large peaches peeled and sliced
  • ½ cup + 2 tbsp 140g packed light brown sugar
  • 6 tablespoons 78g granulated sugar
  • 6 tablespoons 49g all-purpose flour
  • ⅛ teaspoon salt optional
  • 3 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter cut into small cubes
  • 1 large egg beaten (for egg wash)
  • 1 tablespoon coarse sugar for topping

Method
 

  1. Make crust: mix flour, salt, and cold butter until crumbly. Add ice water and form dough. Chill 1 hour.
  2. Prepare filling: slice peaches and mix with sugars, flour, cinnamon, and salt.
  3. Roll out first crust and place in pie dish.
  4. Add peach filling and dot with butter.
  5. Add top crust (lattice or full), seal edges.
  6. Brush with egg wash and sprinkle coarse sugar.
  7. Chill 20–30 minutes before baking.
  8. Bake at 425°F for 15 minutes, then 375°F for 50–60 minutes.
  9. Cool 2–4 hours before slicing.

Notes

  • Use cold butter and ice water for the pie crust to get that flaky, bakery-style texture. Warm ingredients can make the crust dense.
  • Try to choose ripe but still slightly firm peaches so they hold their shape while baking and don’t turn mushy.
  • If your peaches release a lot of juice, lightly draining them before mixing helps prevent a soggy pie.
  • Don’t skip the cooling time after baking — this is what helps the filling thicken and set properly for clean slices.
  • For extra flavor and shine, the egg wash + coarse sugar gives the crust a beautiful golden, slightly crunchy finish.
