This Peach Pie the Old Fashioned Two Crust Way combines juicy peaches with a perfectly flaky double crust for a comforting, nostalgic dessert. A balance of sweet, tangy, and spiced flavors makes this pie a summer favorite.

Ingredients

1 (14.1 ounce) package pastry for a double-crust 9-inch pie

1 egg, beaten

5 cups sliced peeled peaches

2 tablespoons lemon juice

1 cup white sugar

½ cup all-purpose flour

½ teaspoon ground cinnamon (or to taste)

¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg (or to taste)

¼ teaspoon salt

2 tablespoons butter

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. Roll out one of the pie crusts and line the bottom of a 9-inch pie pan with it.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, combine the sliced peaches, lemon juice, sugar, flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Stir gently until the peaches are well-coated with the dry ingredients.
  4. Pour the peach mixture into the prepared pie crust, spreading it evenly.
  5. Dot the filling with small pieces of butter.
  6. Roll out the second pie crust and place it over the peach filling. Trim the edges of both crusts and crimp them together to seal the pie.
  7. Cut a few small slits in the top crust to allow steam to escape while baking.
  8. Brush the top crust with the beaten egg for a golden finish.
  9. Bake the pie for 45-50 minutes or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly. You may need to cover the edges of the crust with aluminum foil during the last 15 minutes of baking to prevent over-browning.
  10. Allow the pie to cool for at least an hour before serving so the filling can set.

Notes

For added texture, sprinkle a crumble topping made from butter, sugar, and flour over the top before baking.

Spice things up by adding ground ginger or allspice to the filling.

Mix berries like blueberries or raspberries with the peaches for a fruity twist.

For a gluten-free option, use a gluten-free pie crust.
