A nostalgic and easy-to-make peach pie featuring ripe peaches and a buttery, flaky lattice crust. Perfect for summer gatherings and family treats.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 to 7 medium ripe peaches, peeled and sliced
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour (or cornstarch for gluten-free option)
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • A pinch of salt
  • 2 tablespoons butter, cut into small pieces
  • 2 pie crusts (homemade or store-bought)
  • 1 large egg, beaten (for egg wash)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Filling (15 minutes): In a large bowl, gently toss the peeled and sliced peaches with granulated sugar, brown sugar, flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, lemon juice, and a pinch of salt. Set aside to macerate.
  2. Roll Out the Bottom Crust (10 minutes): On a lightly floured surface, roll out one pie crust to about 12 inches diameter. Transfer to a 9-inch pie dish, pressing into corners. Trim excess dough leaving 1/2 inch for sealing.
  3. Fill the Pie (5 minutes): Pour peach filling into crust evenly. Dot with small pieces of butter.
  4. Create the Lattice Top (20 minutes): Roll out second pie crust to same size. Cut into 1/2-inch wide strips. Weave strips over the pie in a lattice pattern.
  5. Seal and Crimp Edges (5 minutes): Trim excess dough and pinch bottom and top crusts together. Crimp edges decoratively.
  6. Apply Egg Wash (5 minutes): Brush lattice and edges with beaten egg for a glossy finish.
  7. Bake the Pie (50-60 minutes): Bake at 425°F for 15 minutes, then reduce to 350°F and bake 35-45 minutes until crust is golden and filling bubbly. Cover edges with foil if browning too fast.
  8. Cool Completely (2 hours): Let pie cool on a rack to thicken filling before slicing.
