Ingredients

Scale

Peach Filling:

  • 3 ½ lbs peaches, peeled, pitted, and sliced ¼ inch thick (about 6 ½ to 7 cups)
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • ½ cup sugar
  • ⅓ cup flour (or substitute with 3 tablespoons cornstarch or potato starch)
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ¼ teaspoon nutmeg
  • ⅛ teaspoon salt
  • 1 flaky cream cheese pie crust (for recipe, visit NatashasKitchen.com)

Egg Wash & Topping:

  • 1 egg, beaten
  • 1 tablespoon water

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F.

    2. Prepare the pie crusts: Roll one piece of dough into a 13-inch circle and transfer it to a 9-inch pie plate. Refrigerate until ready to fill. Roll the second piece into a 12-inch circle, cover, and refrigerate while prepping the filling.

  2. Combine the dry ingredients—sugar, flour, nutmeg, and salt—in a small bowl.
  3. To easily peel peaches, blanch them in boiling water for 1 minute, then pit and slice into ¼ inch thick pieces.
  4. In a large bowl, mix the sliced peaches with lemon juice and vanilla extract. Sprinkle the dry mixture over the peaches and gently stir to combine.
  5. Pour the filling into the chilled pie crust.
  6. Roll out the second dough piece for a lattice or full top crust. Place it over the filling, trim excess dough, and crimp the edges to seal.
  7. In a small bowl, whisk the egg and water to make the egg wash. Brush it generously over the crust.
  8. Bake the pie at 425°F for 20 minutes. Then place a foil-lined cookie sheet under the pie to catch drips, reduce oven temperature to 375°F, and bake for an additional 30–40 minutes (about 35 minutes), or until the filling is bubbling. If the crust browns too quickly, loosely cover with foil.
  9. Cool the pie for at least 2 hours before slicing to allow the filling to thicken. Cutting too soon may cause the filling to be too runny.
