Ingredients
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Drain the canned peaches well, reserving 1–2 tablespoons of the juice. Slice peaches if needed.
- In a large bowl, combine peaches, sugar, cornstarch, cinnamon, nutmeg (if using), and lemon juice. Gently mix to coat evenly without mashing the peaches.
- Roll out one pie crust and place it in a 9-inch pie pan, pressing gently to fit. Trim excess dough.
- Pour the peach filling into the crust, spreading it evenly. Dot the filling with butter cubes.
- Cover with the second pie crust—either a full crust with slits or a lattice top. Trim and crimp edges to seal.
- Brush the top crust with beaten egg, then sprinkle with coarse sugar if desired.
- Bake for 45–50 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling. Cover crust edges with foil halfway through baking if they brown too quickly.
- Let the pie cool for at least 2 hours before slicing to allow the filling to set.
Notes
- Adjust sweetness based on the syrup type in your canned peaches—reduce sugar if using peaches in heavy syrup.
- Don’t skip draining the peaches well to avoid a watery pie filling.
- For a flakier crust, keep your pie dough chilled until just before baking.
- Cover crust edges with foil halfway through baking to prevent over-browning.
- Let the pie cool completely before slicing to ensure clean, firm slices.
- Add spices like ginger or allspice for a warm twist.
- Use fresh peaches in season if you prefer, but adjust sugar and thickener as needed.
