Ingredients
  

Filling Ingredients
  • 6-8 pieces fresh peaches, peeled, pitted, and sliced Use ripe peaches for best flavor.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Prep the peaches by peeling, pitting, and slicing them. Toss in a bowl with sugar, flour, cinnamon, and lemon juice. Let them sit for 10-15 minutes.
  2. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
  3. Lay half of the pie crust into a 9-inch pie pan, pricking the bottom lightly with a fork.
  4. Pour the peach mixture into the crust evenly and dot with butter.
  5. If using a second crust, lay it on top and cut slits for steam to escape, or create a lattice top. Seal and crimp the edges.
  6. Brush the top crust with the beaten egg for a golden finish.
Baking
  1. Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes until the crust is golden and the filling is bubbly.
  2. Allow to cool for at least 2 hours before serving.

Notes

Serve with vanilla ice cream, whipped cream, or a sprinkle of cinnamon. Pair with sweet tea or lemonade.
