Equipment

  • Rolling Pin
  • large mixing bowl
  • sharp knife
  • small bowl
  • Pastry brush
  • pie plate

Ingredients

  • 1 pie crust either store bought, or homemade
  • 5 cups sliced peaches
  • cup melted butter
  • ½ cup sugar
  • ½ cup brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons flour
  • 3 tablespoons cornstarch
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon nutmeg
  • ½ teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1 egg

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
  • Roll out the pie crust to the size of your pie tin and place the bottom crust in the pan.
  • In a large bowl, place the melted butter, sugar, brown sugar, flour, cornstarch, salt, nutmeg and cinnamon and stir together.
  • Peel and slice the peaches and add them to the bowl. Stir until the peaches are coated with the seasoning mix.
  • Whisk the egg in a small dish for an egg wash. Use a pastry brush and paint the bottom layer of the crust. This will help create a barrier to prevent the bottom crust becoming soggy during baking–especially if you have very ripe and juicy peaches.
  • Pour the peaches into the pie tin and cover with the top crust as desired. Brush the top of the crust with the remaining egg wash.
  • Place the pie on a baking sheet to catch any dripping during baking and place in the oven for 60-65 minutes, until the top crust is golden brown. Another tip for a fruit pie is to place the pie on the bottom rack of the oven to prevent early browning of the top crust! Works great!
  • Remove and let the pie cool before slicing so the inside firms up.
  • Serve with your favorite vanilla ice cream or whipped topping.
  • Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
