Ingredients

• 6 whole (medium-sized) fresh peaches (ripe)
• 3/4 cup granulated sugar
• 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter (cold)
• 2 (9-inch rounds) store-bought or homemade pie crusts
• 1 whole egg (for egg wash)
• 1 tablespoon water (for egg wash)
• 1 tablespoon optional: coarse sugar

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Wash, peel, and slice the peaches into thin wedges. Discard the pits.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, combine the sliced peaches with the granulated sugar, all-purpose flour, ground cinnamon, and ground nutmeg. Toss gently to evenly coat the peaches. Set aside for 10 minutes to allow the juices to develop.

Step 4

Roll out one of the pie crusts and fit it into a 9-inch pie dish, trimming any excess around the edges.

Step 5

Pour the peach mixture into the prepared pie crust, spreading it evenly. Dot the filling with small pieces of the cold unsalted butter.

Step 6

Roll out the second pie crust and place it over the peach filling. Trim the edges, and crimp them together with the bottom crust to seal. Optionally, cut slits or a decorative pattern into the top crust to allow steam to escape.

Step 7

In a small bowl, whisk the egg with 1 tablespoon of water to make an egg wash. Brush it over the top crust for a golden finish. If desired, sprinkle coarse sugar on top.

Step 8

Place the pie on a baking sheet to catch any bubbling juices and bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.

Step 9

Allow the pie to cool for at least 2 hours before slicing and serving to let the filling set properly.

Step 10

Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream, if desired.
