Ingredients
For the filling:
- 6–8 fresh ripe peaches, peeled and sliced (or use 2 cans of sliced peaches, drained)
- ¾ cup granulated sugar
- ¼ cup brown sugar
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- ½ tsp ground nutmeg
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 2 tbsp cornstarch (for thickening)
For the crust:
- 1 pie crust (store-bought or homemade)
- Optional: second crust for lattice or full top
For the topping (optional):
- 2 tbsp melted butter
- 1 tbsp sugar + ½ tsp cinnamon (for sprinkling)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Prepare the filling:
- In a large bowl, combine the sliced peaches, sugars, cinnamon, nutmeg, vanilla, lemon juice, and cornstarch. Mix gently until the peaches are well coated.
- Assemble the pie:
- Roll out the pie crust and fit it into a 9-inch pie dish.
- Pour the peach mixture into the crust.
- If using a top crust, place it over the filling and crimp the edges to seal. You can use a lattice pattern or make small slits in a solid top crust for steam to escape.
- Add topping:
- Brush the crust with melted butter and sprinkle with cinnamon sugar, if desired.
- Bake:
- Place pie on a baking sheet (to catch drips) and bake for 45–50 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and filling is bubbly.
- Cool:
- Let the pie cool for at least 30 minutes to allow the filling to set before slicing.
