Yield: 1 pie
Ingredients:
Crust:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 3/4 cup butter, chilled and cubed
- 5 to 6 tablespoons cold water
Filling:
- 8 cups fresh peaches, peeled and sliced
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- Zest of 1 lemon
- 1 tablespoon milk (for brushing)
Instructions:
1. Prepare Crust:
- In a large bowl, combine 2 cups of all-purpose flour and salt.
- Using a pastry blender or two knives, cut in chilled butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Sprinkle 5 to 6 tablespoons of cold water, 1 tablespoon at a time, over the flour mixture.
- Toss with a fork to blend lightly but evenly.
- When the mixture forms a ball, knead gently 2 or 3 times.
- Divide the dough in half.
- On a lightly floured surface, roll out half of the dough to a 12-inch circle.
- Fit it into a 9-inch pie plate, trimming the edges and leaving a 1-inch overhang.
- Roll out the remaining half of the dough to a 12-inch circle.
- Using a sharp knife, cut the circle into ten strips, each about 1-inch wide, and set them aside.
2. Prepare Filling:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a large bowl, combine the peeled and sliced peaches, sugar, 1/4 cup of all-purpose flour, lemon juice, and grated lemon peel.
- Toss the mixture well until the peaches are evenly coated.
3. Assemble and Bake:
- Pour the prepared peach filling into the prepared crust in the pie plate.
- Arrange the reserved strips of dough in a lattice pattern over the filling, trimming the strips to match the lower crust overhang.
- Dampen the overhang lightly with water, then turn up the ends of the strips and seal them.
- Flute the edge of the crust decoratively.
- Brush the lattice strips and the edge of the crust with milk.
- Bake the pie in the preheated oven for about 50 minutes, or until the filling is bubbling and the crust is golden brown.
4. Serve and Enjoy:
- Once baked, remove the pie from the oven and allow it to cool slightly before serving.
- Serve slices of this delicious Georgia Peach Pie warm or at room temperature, optionally topped with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for an extra indulgent treat.
Tips:
- For the best results, use ripe and juicy peaches when making the filling for this pie.
- If fresh peaches are not available, you can use frozen or canned peaches (drained) as a substitute.
- Feel free to adjust the amount of sugar in the filling according to the sweetness of your peaches and your personal taste preferences.
- Serve leftover slices of peach pie with a cup of freshly brewed coffee or your favorite tea for a delightful afternoon snack.
