Peach Pie the Old Fashioned Two Crust Way

Ingredients and Weight:

• 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, divided
• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 cup cold water
• 6 cups peeled and sliced peaches
• 1 cup sugar
• 1/4 cup cornstarch
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg

Preparation Time:

30 minutes

Cooking Time:

50-60 minutes

Difficulty Level:

3 (Moderate)

Preparation Method Steps:

1. Make the pie crust: Cut 1/2 cup of butter into the flour until it resembles coarse crumbs. Add the salt and cold water and mix until a dough forms. Wrap the dough in plastic and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
2. Prepare the filling: Combine the peaches, sugar, cornstarch, cinnamon, and nutmeg in a large bowl. Stir to combine.
3. Roll out the dough: Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). On a lightly floured surface, roll out half of the dough to a 12-inch circle. Transfer the dough to a 9-inch pie pan and trim the edges. Pour in the peach filling.
4. Roll out the top crust: Roll out the remaining dough to an 11-inch circle. Place the dough over the filling and trim the edges. Crimp the edges to seal.
5. Dot with butter: Cut the remaining 1/2 cup of butter into small pieces and dot them over the top crust.
6. Bake: Bake the pie for 50-60 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.
7. Let cool: Remove the pie from the oven and let cool for at least 30 minutes before slicing and serving.
