This classic peach pie features a buttery, flaky crust and a sweet, spiced filling made with fresh, juicy peaches—perfect for summer baking!

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 pie crusts
  • 5 cups (6 or 7 ripe peaches), peeled and sliced
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 2 tbsp cornstarch
  • Pinch of ground nutmeg
  • Egg wash: 1 egg, 1 tablespoon water
  • Coarse sugar

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a large bowl, combine sliced peaches, both sugars, cornstarch, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Let sit for 5–7 minutes.
  3. Roll out bottom crust and place in a 9-inch pie dish. Trim edges if needed. Optional: Blind bake for 10 minutes (line with parchment + pie weights).
  4. Remove the partially baked crust from the oven and carefully add the peach filling to the crust.
  5. For the top crust decoration, use a pastry roller to create small, even strips of dough. Take two strips at a time and braid them, setting the braids aside. Repeat until you have three braids.
  6. Place the braids across the top of the pie, following the photo for reference. Add smaller strips between the braids, creating a woven lattice pattern.
  7. Trim any excess dough from the edges of the pie. In a small bowl, combine the egg and water to make the egg wash. Brush the top crust with the egg wash and sprinkle coarse sugar over it.
  8. To make decorative dough roses, roll strips of dough into circles and place them on the edges of the pie.
  9. Cover the edges of the pie with aluminum foil to prevent over-browning.
  10. Bake the pie in the preheated oven for 20 minutes. Then, carefully remove the foil and continue baking for an additional 20 minutes until the crust turns golden and the filling is bubbly.
  11. Allow the pie to rest for 10 minutes before serving. This will help the filling set and make it easier to slice.
