Ingredients

• 6-8 ripe peaches, peeled and sliced
• 1 cup sugar
• 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/2 tsp cinnamon
• 1/4 tsp nutmeg
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 2 tbsp butter
• 1 package of refrigerated pie crusts (or homemade pie crust)
• 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)

Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 425°F.

3. Roll out one pie crust and place it in a 9-inch pie dish. Trim the edges if needed.
4. Pour the peach mixture into the pie crust and dot with butter.
5. Roll out the second pie crust and place it on top of the peach filling. Trim and crimp the edges to seal the pie.
6. Cut slits in the top crust to allow steam to escape. Brush with beaten egg for a golden finish.
7. Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
8. Let the pie cool before serving. Enjoy warm or at room temperature with a dollop of whipped cream or ice cream.
