Directions
-
Preheat your oven to 375ðF (190ðC).
-
In a large bowl, toss the sliced peaches with the lemon juice to prevent browning.
-
In a separate small bowl, mix together 1 1/4 cups sugar, flour, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
-
Pour the sugar-spice mixture over the peaches and toss gently until the fruit is evenly coated.
-
Pour the peach mixture into the prepared crust, spreading it out evenly.
-
Cut the butter into small pieces and dot them generously over the top of the peaches.
-
Crimp the edges of the top and bottom crusts together to seal, and cut a few slits in the top crust to allow steam to escape.
-
Sprinkle the remaining 2 tablespoons of sugar over the top crust for a crispy finish.
-
Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
-
Let the pie cool for at least 20 minutes to allow the filling to set before slicing.
-
Serve warm topped with a dollop of whipped cream.
