Old Fashioned Peach Pie Recipe with Two Crusts

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
• 0.5 cup all-purpose flour
• 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 2 tablespoons butter

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 450 degrees F (220 degrees C) and gather all your ingredients for the peach pie.
2. Line a 9-inch pie plate with one pie crust. Brush the crust lightly with egg to keep it from getting soggy. Set the other crust aside for later.
3. In a large bowl, add the sliced peaches and gently toss them with lemon juice.
4. In a separate bowl, combine the sugar, flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Pour this mixture over the peaches and mix until everything is well combined.
5. Carefully pour the peach mixture into the prepared pie crust and dot the top with butter.
6. Cover the peach filling with the remaining pie crust. Crimp the edges to seal or press with a fork dipped in egg.
7. Brush the top of the crust with the remaining egg, then cut slits to allow steam to escape while baking.
8. Bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes. Then, reduce the heat to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) and continue baking for 30 to 35 minutes, until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling. If the crust edges brown too quickly, cover them with foil strips halfway through.
9. Let the pie cool for 15 minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy this delicious homemade peach pie!
