INGREDIENTS

Pie Crust
  • 1 ½ c flour
  • pinch of salt
  • 8 tbsp butter (cold and cubed (sub: vegan butter if vegan))
  • 4 tbsp water (cold)
  • 1 tbsp cane sugar (for topping (sub: coconut sugar if rsf))
Peach Filling
  • 3 medium peaches (pitted and sliced)
  • 2 tbsp cane sugar (sub: coconut sugar if rsf)
  • 1 tbsp cornstarch
  • Juice of 1/2 a lemon
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp nutmeg
  • Egg (for egg wash (sub: non-dairy milk if vegan))

INSTRUCTIONS

Pie Crust
  • Pulse the flour, sugar, and salt together in a food processor until combined.
  • Add in the cubed butter, and pulse a few more times until the dough forms small crumbs.
  • Drizzle in the water and pulse 2-3 more times until the dough just starts to come together.
  • Pour the dough onto the counter and knead it lightly just to bring it together and form a rough ball. Flatten it into a 1" disc and wrap it in plastic wrap.
  • Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
Peach Filling
  • Preheat oven to 400 F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
  • Place all of the peach filling ingredients in a large bowl, and lightly mix it together so the peaches are evenly coated in the sugar, cornstarch, and spices.
  • Roll the cold pie dough into a circle on the counter until it's about 12" wide. It doesn't have to be perfect and pretty, just flat!
  • Transfer the pie dough onto the baking sheet. I find it's easiest to do this by wrapping the dough around the rolling pin and then unravelling it on the baking sheet.
  • Pour the peach filling onto the center of the pie crust, leaving a 2" space around the edges, and flatten the top. You can leave it as a mound, or you can arrange the peaches into pretty designs, if you prefer.
  • Gently fold the edges of the pie crust on top of the peaches so it covers them slightly, and brush the pie crust with the egg wash (or non-dairy milk, if using).
  • Bake for 30-40 minutes until the edges are brown, and the filling is bubbly.
  • Allow to cool before serving.
