Ingredients
- 2.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup unsalted butter (cold)
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 6 tablespoons ice water
- 6 cups ripe peaches (sliced)
- 0.5 cups light brown sugar
- 0.25 cups granulated sugar
- 2.5 tablespoons cornstarch
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.5 cups unsweetened shredded coconut
- 1 large egg (for egg wash)
- 1 tablespoon milk or water (for egg wash)
Directions
Step 1
In a large bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, and salt for the crust.
Step 2
Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, cut the cold butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
Step 3
Gradually add the ice water, one tablespoon at a time, mixing until the dough just comes together. Do not overmix.
Step 4
Divide the dough into two equal portions, shape into discs, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
Step 5
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Step 6
In a separate large bowl, toss the sliced peaches with light brown sugar, granulated sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice, and vanilla extract. Set aside.
Step 7
Roll out one disc of the chilled pie dough on a lightly floured surface to fit a 9-inch pie dish.
Step 8
Transfer the rolled-out dough to the pie dish and trim any overhang. Sprinkle the bottom with the shredded coconut.
Step 9
Pour the peach filling over the coconut layer, spreading it out evenly.
Step 10
Roll out the second disc of dough and either lay it over the filling for a full crust or cut it into strips for a lattice design. Seal and crimp the edges as desired.
Step 11
If using a full crust, cut a few small slits in the top to allow steam to escape.
Step 12
In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and milk (or water). Brush the egg wash over the top crust.
Step 13
Place the pie on a baking sheet to catch any drips and bake in the preheated oven for 50 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.
Step 14
If the edges of the crust brown too quickly, cover them with aluminum foil or a pie shield halfway through baking.
Step 15
Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool for at least 2 hours before serving to allow the filling to set.
Step 16
Slice and enjoy your Golden Coconut Peach Pie with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream, if desired.
