Ingredients

  • 6 cups peeled sliced peaches
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup brown sugar
  • ¼ cup cornstarch
  • ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 2 teaspoon lemon juice
  • 2 9-inch pie crusts
  • 1 egg white beaten
  • ½ tablespoon turbinado sugar or sanding sugar

Instructions

  • Put the peeled, sliced peaches in a bowl. Add granulated sugar and salt. Stir until the slices are coated. Cover and set aside for 30-60 minutes.
  • Drain and reserve the sweetened peach juice from the peach slices. Transfer the sliced peaches to a separate bowl and set aside.
  • Stir together the brown sugar, cornstarch, ground cinnamon, and ground nutmeg in a saucepan until combined.
  • Add the reserved peach juice and lemon juice and whisk until smooth.
  • Bring the sauce to a boil and then reduce heat. Simmer and stir until the sauce is thickened. Remove from heat.
  • Pour the sauce over the peach slices. Stir to coat.
  • Put one pie pastry into a 9-inch pie dish. Fill it with the peach pie filling.
  • Top with a second pie crust in either a lattice design or add the whole crust with slits cut into it for venting. Or see the notes for a crumb topping instead.
  • Brush with beaten egg white and sprinkle with sugar.
  • Bake at 450˚F for 10 minutes and then reduce the heat to 350˚F and bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the filling is bubbly. Cover edges loosely with foil or a pie shield halfway through baking if they are getting too brown.

Notes

One: Canned Peaches

Drain the juice from the cans of peaches and then use them in place of the fresh peaches. A 15.25-ounce can of peaches has about 1 1/2 cups of peaches in it, so you’ll need about four cans, depending on the brand.

Two: Frozen Peaches

Use six cups of frozen peaches. Thaw them before making the pie.

Three: Crumb Topping

Combine 1 cup of all-purpose flour, 2/3 cup of brown sugar, and 1/2 teaspoon of ground cinnamon in a bowl. Cut in 1/2 cup of cold butter until crumbly. Spread the crumb topping over the filling.
