Peach Pie
This Peach Pie recipe has fresh peaches piled high in a flaky pie crust. Topped with a pretty lattice top and sprinkled with sugar, you'll have a pie sure to impress!
Ingredients
- 2 pie crusts (one for the bottom and one for the lattice top) homemade or store-bought
- 6 c peeled and sliced peaches
- ¾ c sugar + 2 tablespoon for topping
- ¼ c cornstarch
- ⅛ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon almond extract optional
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1 egg white beaten
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F.
- Unroll one of the pie crusts into a pie plate and set aside.
- Place the peaches in a large bowl and sprinkle with ¼ c sugar; let sit for 5-10 minutes to help release some of the juices.
- In a small bowl, combine the remaining ½ c sugar, cornstarch and salt.
- Pour the dry ingredients and the almond extract (if using) over the peaches and gently stir until well-combined.
- Pour the peach mixture into the pie crust.
- Unroll the remaining pie crust and cut into 10-15 strips.
- Place them over the pie one at a time, creating a lattice top.*
- Cut extra pie crust from the edges and pinch edges of the pie crust together in a decorative manner.**
- Cut the butter into small cubes and place in the crevices of the pie.
- Brush the lattice top with beaten egg and sprinkle with granulated or coarse sugar.
- Place a pie crust shield (or make your own with aluminum foil) over the outer crust.
- Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until golden brown and the peaches are tender.
- Remove from the oven, remove the pie crust shield and let cool for at least 2 hours before enjoying. (This will give it some time to set up - if you skip this step, it'll be quite runny!)
