Ingredients
Scale
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
- 1/4 cup ice-cold water
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 3 ripe peaches, sliced
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch (optional, for thickening)
- 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
- Additional sugar or coarse sugar for sprinkling
Instructions
- Prepare the pie crust by combining flour and salt, cutting in cold butter until crumbly, then adding ice water gradually to form a dough. Chill for 30 minutes.
- In a bowl, toss peach slices with sugar, lemon juice, and cornstarch. Let sit for 10 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Roll out the chilled dough into a 12-inch circle and transfer to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Arrange peach slices in the center, leaving about 2 inches border. Fold edges over the peaches, pleating as needed.
- Brush crust with beaten egg and sprinkle with coarse sugar. Bake for 40-45 minutes until golden and bubbling.
- Cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm or at room temperature with optional toppings like vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
Notes
- Use ripe yet firm peaches for best flavor and texture.
- Chill the dough thoroughly for a flaky crust.
- Avoid overfilling to prevent spillage during baking.
- Serve immediately for optimal texture and flavor.
- Enhance with toppings like chopped nuts, caramel, or fresh mint for variation.
