Description

There is nothing quite like the aroma of baking peaches to fill a home with warmth. This deep dish pie features plump, fresh peach slices tossed with cinnamon, nutmeg, and a touch of lemon to brighten the natural sweetness. The fruit bakes down into a tender, juicy filling that is perfectly thickened with flour and enriched with melted butter. Topped with a flaky pastry crust and sprinkled with sparkling sugar, it offers a beautiful contrast of textures. Serve it warm with a dollop of whipped cream for a comforting, nostalgic dessert that feels like a slice of summer. It is an ideal choice for family dinners, potlucks, or whenever you crave a classic, homemade treat.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C).
  2. Place the sliced peaches in a large mixing bowl and toss gently with the lemon juice to prevent browning.
  3. In a small bowl, whisk together 1 1/4 cup sugar, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and flour until well combined.
  4. Pour the sugar and spice mixture over the peaches and toss until the fruit is evenly coated.
  5. Spread the peach mixture evenly into a 1 1/2 quart baking dish or deep pie plate.
  6. Cut the butter into small cubes and dot them evenly over the top of the peaches.
  7. On a lightly floured surface, roll out your pastry dough to a circle large enough to cover the dish with a 1 1/2 inch overhang.
  8. Carefully drape the pastry over the dish and press it down firmly against the edge, creating a decorative fluted border.
  9. Using a sharp knife, cut three small vents in the center of the crust to allow steam to escape.
  10. Sprinkle the remaining 2 tablespoons of sugar over the top of the crust for a sparkling finish.
  11. Bake at 450 degrees F (232&# 194;°C) for 10 minutes, then reduce the oven temperature to 350 d (177ðC)egrees F and continue baking for 30 to 35 minutes, until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.
  12. Allow the pie to cool for at least 15 minutes before serving to let the filling set.
  13. Serve warm, topped with a generous dollop of whipped cream.
