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

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Wash and peel the peaches. Cut them into small cubes and set aside.
  3. 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.
  4. Add the lemon juice to the peach cubes and toss to coat.
  5. Divide the dough into four equal portions. On a lightly floured surface, roll out each portion into a circle about 6 inches in diameter.
  6. 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.
  7. Gently fold the edges of the dough over the peach filling, creating a rustic pie shape.
  8. 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.
  9. Sprinkle a teaspoon of turbinado sugar over each pie for added crunch and sweetness.
  10. Bake the pies in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the peach filling is bubbly.
  11. Remove the pies from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy!
