For the Pie Crust: 1. Combine flour and salt in a large bowl. 2. Cut the cold butter into small cubes and add to the bowl. 3. Use your fingers or a pastry cutter to work the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. 4. Add 1 tablespoon of ice water at a time, mixing until the dough just comes together. 5. Form the dough into a ball, wrap it in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

Transfer the dough to a 9-inch (23cm) pie plate and trim the edges. 4. Fill the pie crust with the peach mixture. 5. Roll out the remaining dough into an 11-inch (28cm) circle. 6. Cut the dough into strips and weave them over the top of the pie. 7. Brush the pie crust with egg wash.
