Ingredients
- Peaches - 4
- All-purpose flour - 1 cup
- Cold unsalted butter - 1/2 cup, diced
- Granulated sugar - 2 tablespoons
- Cornstarch - 1 tablespoon
- Salt - 1/4 teaspoon
- Ground cinnamon - 1/4 teaspoon
- Lemon juice - 1 tablespoon
- Egg - 1
- Water - 1 tablespoon
- Turbinado sugar - 2 teaspoons
Directions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Wash and peel the peaches. Cut them into small cubes and set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, butter, sugar, cornstarch, salt, and cinnamon. Using your fingers or a pastry cutter, mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Add the lemon juice to the peach cubes and toss to coat.
- Divide the dough into four equal portions. On a lightly floured surface, roll out each portion into a circle about 6 inches in diameter.
- Place a portion of the dough onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Spoon a quarter of the peach mixture onto the center of the dough circle, leaving a border of about 1 inch.
- Gently fold the edges of the dough over the peach filling, creating a rustic pie shape.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and water to make an egg wash. Brush the edges of the pie with the egg wash.
- Sprinkle a teaspoon of turbinado sugar over each pie for added crunch and sweetness.
- Bake the pies in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the peach filling is bubbly.
- Remove the pies from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy!
