PEACH PIE
Double pie crust (recipe below)
1 egg, beaten
5 cups sliced peeled peaches
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup white sugar
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons butter
1 egg, beaten
5 cups sliced peeled peaches
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup white sugar
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons butter
CRUST:
1 1/4 c flour
1/4 tsp salt
1/3 c shortening
5 T water
1/4 tsp salt
1/3 c shortening
5 T water
Preheat the oven to 450
Line the bottom and sides of a 9 inch pie plate with one of
the pie crusts. Brush with some of the beaten egg to keep the dough from
becoming soggy later.
Place the sliced peaches in a large bowl, and sprinkle with
lemon juice. Mix gently. In a separate bowl, mix together the flour, sugar,
cinnamon, nutmeg and salt. Pour over the peaches, and mix gently. Pour into the
pie crust, and dot with butter. Cover with the other pie crust, and fold the
edges under. Flute the edges to seal or press the edges with the tines of a
fork dipped in egg. Brush the remaining egg over the top crust. Cut several
slits in the top crust to vent steam.
Bake for 10 minutes in the preheated oven, then reduce the
heat to 350 and bake for an additional 30 to 35 minutes, until the crust is
brown and the juice begins to bubble through the vents. If the edges brown to
fast, cover them with strips of aluminum foil about halfway through baking.
Cool before serving. This tastes better warm than hot.
Haylee’s Note:
I don’t think I have ever bought a premade pie crust. The original recipe calls for a store bought one, but I just assume do the work myself—it taste better, it is cheeper, and it is actually really easy. We LOVED this recipe. You can get the original recipe HERE.
