Pair it with whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a truly unforgettable dessert experience!
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
Peel the peaches by blanching them in boiling water for 30 seconds, then transferring to an ice bath. The skins should slide off easily. Pit the peaches and slice them into thin wedges.
In a large bowl, combine the sliced peaches, granulated sugar, flour, cornstarch, ground cinnamon, salt, and lemon juice. Toss until the peaches are evenly coated.
Roll out one disk of pie crust on a floured surface to fit a 9-inch pie pan. Gently press it into the bottom and sides of the pan, trimming any excess overhang.
Pour the peach mixture into the pie crust, spreading it out evenly. Dot the peaches with small pieces of the unsalted butter.
Roll out the second disk of pie crust and place it over the peach filling. You can either leave it as a full crust with slits cut for ventilation or cut it into strips and create a lattice pattern. Seal the edges by crimping or pressing with a fork.
In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and water to create an egg wash. Brush this mixture over the top crust to give it a golden, shiny finish.
Place the pie on the middle rack of your oven. Bake for 20 minutes, then reduce the oven temperature to 375°F (190°C) and bake for an additional 25 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.
Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool for at least 2 hours before slicing. This allows the filling to set and makes for neater slices.
Serve at room temperature or chilled, optionally with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
