Instructions
Prepare the Pie Crust:
-
In a mixing bowl, combine the cold butter and flour until the mixture resembles cornmeal.
-
Add salt and sugar, then slowly incorporate ice water until the dough comes together.
-
Divide the dough into two balls, wrap each in plastic wrap, and chill in the refrigerator for at least 3 hours.
-
After chilling, roll out one dough disk into a 12-inch circle and transfer it to a 9-inch pie plate. Crimp the edges.
-
Set aside the second rolled-out dough for the pie's top crust.
Prepare the Peach Filling:
-
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
-
Drain the excess liquid from the canned peaches into a saucepan and set aside the peaches in their cans.
-
To the saucepan, add sugar, cornstarch, cinnamon, butter, and water.
-
Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens.
-
Remove from heat and stir in the sliced peaches and vanilla extract.
Assemble and Bake the Pie:
-
Pour the peach filling into the prepared pie crust.
-
Place the second pie crust over the filling and pinch the edges to seal.
-
Brush the top crust with an egg wash made by whisking together 1 egg and 1 tablespoon of water.
-
Cut a few slits in the top crust to allow steam to escape during baking.
-
Cover the edges of the crust with aluminum foil to prevent over-browning.
-
Bake in the preheated oven at 400°F (200°C) for 10 minutes, then reduce the heat to 350°F (180°C) and bake for an additional 40 minutes or until the crust is golden brown.
-
Allow the pie to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy!
Note
- For extra flavor, consider adding a splash of almond extract to the peach filling.
- If the pie crust edges are browning too quickly during baking, tent them with aluminum foil to prevent burning.
- To enhance the golden color of the crust, brush it with a mixture of egg yolk and heavy cream instead of plain egg wash.
