Ingredients:
- 2.5 cups (315g) all-purpose flour
- 1 cup (225g) unsalted butter, chilled and cubed
- 1 tsp (5g) salt
- 1 tbsp (12g) granulated sugar
- 8 tbsp (120ml) ice water
- 6 cups (1.2kg) fresh peaches, peeled and sliced
- 0.75 cup (150g) granulated sugar
- 0.25 cup (30g) cornstarch
- 1 tbsp (15ml) lemon juice
- 1 tsp (2g) ground cinnamon
- 0.25 tsp (1g) ground nutmeg
- 2 tbsp (28g) unsalted butter, diced
- 1 large (50g) egg
- 1 tbsp (15ml) milk
- 1 tbsp (12g) coarse sugar
Instructions:
- Mix flour, salt, and sugar in a large bowl. Cut in the chilled butter using a pastry cutter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs with pea-sized lumps.
- Gradually add ice water, one tablespoon at a time, stirring until the dough just holds together.
- Divide the dough into two discs, wrap in plastic, and refrigerate for at least 5 hours to relax the gluten.
- Toss sliced peaches with lemon juice, sugar, cornstarch, cinnamon, and nutmeg in a large bowl.
- Allow the peach mixture to sit for 15 minutes until a thick syrup forms.
- Pour the filling into a 9-inch deep-dish pie plate and dot the top with diced butter pieces.
- Roll out the first disc of dough and fit it into the bottom of the pie plate.
- Roll out the second disc and cut into 1-inch wide strips.
- Lay half the strips vertically across the pie, folding every other strip back halfway.
- Weave the remaining strips perpendicularly (over and under) to create the lattice pattern.
- Trim excess dough, fold the bottom crust over the edges, and brush with egg wash (egg mixed with milk) and sprinkle with coarse sugar.
- Bake for 45 minutes or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.
