Equipment
- Mixing bowls
- Pie dish
- Pastry cutter or fork
- Rolling Pin
- Knife
- Oven
Ingredients
- 6-8 ripe peaches, peeled and sliced
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
- 1 package (2 pie crusts) of store-bought or homemade pie crust
Instructions
- Set the oven temperature to 425°F (220°C).
- Cut peaches, sugar, flour, nutmeg, cinnamon, salt, and lemon juice in a big mixing basin.
- Stir until the peaches are coated all the way. One pie crust should be rolled out and put into a pie dish.
- Fill the pie crust with the peach filling. Put tiny bits of butter all over the filling.
- Lay the second pie crust, rolled out, on top of the filling. To seal the pie, trim off any extra dough and crimp the edges.
- Make indentations in the upper crust to release steam.
- Optional: To get a golden finish, brush the upper crust with milk or egg wash. To prevent spills, put the pie on a baking sheet and bake it for 45 to 50 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
- Allow the pie to cool for at least 2 hours before serving to allow the filling to set.
