Peaches Pie Recipe

Make the Pie Dough

In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, and salt. Cut in the cold butter with a pastry cutter or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Add Water

Gradually add cold water, one tablespoon at a time, mixing until the dough comes together. You may not need all the water.

Chill the Dough

Shape the dough into a disk, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

Roll Out the Dough

On a floured surface, roll out the dough to fit a 9-inch pie pan. Place the rolled dough into the pie pan and trim the edges.

Prepare the Peaches

Peel and slice the peaches into a large bowl. You should have about 6 cups of sliced peaches.

Mix Filling Ingredients

Add sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice, cinnamon, nutmeg, and vanilla extract to the peaches. Gently toss until the peaches are evenly coated.

Preheat the Oven

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).

Fill the Pie Crust

Pour the peach filling into the prepared pie crust, spreading it evenly.

Prepare Topping (Optional)

If desired, brush the top crust with milk and sprinkle with sugar for a golden finish.

Bake the Pie

Bake the pie in the preheated oven for about 45-50 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.

Cool and Serve

Remove the pie from the oven and allow it to cool for at least 30 minutes before slicing and serving.
