Ingredients
8 Servings
- 300 g all-purpose flour
- 50 g brown sugar
- 15 g coarse sugar
- 30 g cornstarch
- 1 egg
- 200 g granulated sugar
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 0.5 tsp ground nutmeg
- 60 ml ice water
- 15 ml lemon juice
- 900 g peaches
- 1 tsp salt
- 2 tbsp sugar
- 230 g unsalted butter
Directions
Step 1
In a large bowl, combine flour, salt, and 2 tablespoons sugar. Cut in the butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Step 2
Stir in ice water, a tablespoon at a time, until the dough forms a ball. Divide dough in half and shape into discs. Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
Step 3
Preheat oven to 220°C (425°F). Roll out one disc of dough on a floured surface to fit a 9-inch pie plate. Place the crust in the pie plate and trim the edges.
Step 4
In a large bowl, combine peaches, granulated sugar, brown sugar, cornstarch, cinnamon, nutmeg, and lemon juice. Pour into the crust.
Step 5
Roll out the second disc of dough and place it over the filling. Trim, seal, and flute the edges. Cut slits in the top crust for steam to escape.
Step 6
Brush the top crust with beaten egg and sprinkle with coarse sugar.
Step 7
Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly. Cool on a wire rack before serving.
