Ingredients

- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1 tbsp lemon juice

Directions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F.
- In a large bowl, combine the flour and cold cubed butter. Use a pastry cutter or your hands to mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Add cold water a little at a time, mixing until the dough comes together.
- Divide the dough in half and roll out one half to fit a 9x13 inch baking dish. Press the dough into the dish to form the crust.
- In a separate bowl, combine the sliced peaches, granulated sugar, brown sugar, cinnamon, salt, lemon juice, and cornstarch. Mix until the peaches are well coated.
- Pour the peach mixture onto the crust in the baking dish.
- Roll out the remaining dough and cut into thin strips. Arrange the strips in a lattice pattern over the peaches.
