Equipment:

  • Food processor
  • Rolling Pin
  • Pie plate

Ingredients:

For the crust

  • 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour (plus some for rolling dough)
  • 1 ¼ teaspoons kosher salt
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 2 ½ sticks unsalted butter (cut into cubes and chilled)
  • ¼ cup cold water

For the filling

  • ½ cup flour
  • ½ teaspoon cinnamon
  • ¾ cup sugar
  • 10 fresh Oregold Peaches (sliced)
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoons butter (chilled and diced)
  • 1 egg
  • 2 tablespoons cold water

Instructions: 

For the dough

  • Add the flour, salt, sugar, and butter to a food processor. Pulse until the dough becomes crumbly with pea-sized pieces of dough.
  • Slowly add the water until the dough forms a ball.
  • Remove the dough and divide into two pieces, one slightly larger than the other. Optional: Split the dough into thirds, with two larger pieces and one smaller for extra decoration on the top of the pie.
  • Form each dough ball into a disk and wrap tightly with plastic wrap.
  • Refrigerate for 6 hours or overnight.

For the pie

  • Preheat oven to 450° F. Position one oven rack on the bottom and one in the center.
  • Remove dough from the refrigerator.
  • On a lightly floured surface, roll out one dough disk to 1/4-inch thick.
  • Transfer the dough to a pie plate and gently press it into the plate, leaving any excess dough hanging over the edge for crimping later.
  • Place sliced peaches in a large bowl. Sprinkle with lemon juice.
  • In a small bowl, mix flour, cinnamon, and sugar. Add mixture to peach bowl and gently combine.
  • Spoon the peach mixture into the prepared bottom crust, and top evenly with diced butter.
  • On a lightly floured surface, roll out the other dough disk to 1/4-inch thick.
  • Use the dough to cover the pie, tuck edges under the bottom piecrust, and crimp to seal.
  • If you're adding extra dough decoration, add it now. Roll out the extra dough on a floured surface. Using a knife, cut out leaves, flowers, or whatever tickles your fancy. Add the dough decoration to the top of the pie.
  • Whisk egg together with cold water to make an egg wash. Brush it over the top of the pie.
  • Place pie in center of the oven. Bake for 10 minutes before reducing the oven temperature to 350° F. Bake for approximately 40 minutes or until the crust is golden brown.
  • Serve with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
