Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 ½ cups (315g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup (226g) unsalted butter, cold and cubed
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tbsp sugar
  • 68 tbsp ice water
  • 67 large ripe peaches, peeled and sliced (about 3 pounds / 1.4 kg)
  • ¾ cup (150g) granulated sugar
  • ¼ cup (50g) light brown sugar
  • 2 tbsp cornstarch
  • 1 tsp ground ginger
  • ½ tsp ground cinnamon (optional)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
  • Pinch of salt
  • 1 egg, beaten
  • 1 tbsp coarse sugar

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, mix 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour, 1 tsp salt, and 1 tbsp sugar. Add the cold, cubed butter. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to work the butter into the flour until the mixture looks like coarse crumbs with pea-sized bits. Do not overwork.
  2. Drizzle 6 tablespoons ice water, mixing gently with a fork. Add more water, 1 tablespoon at a time, until the dough just comes together. Form into two discs, wrap in plastic, and chill for at least 1 hour.
  3. In a large bowl, combine sliced peaches, ¾ cup granulated sugar, ¼ cup brown sugar, 2 tbsp cornstarch, 1 tsp ground ginger, ½ tsp cinnamon (if using), 1 tsp vanilla, 1 tbsp lemon juice, and a pinch of salt. Toss gently until peaches are evenly coated. Let sit for 10 minutes.
  4. On a floured surface, roll one dough disc into a 12-inch circle. Transfer to your pie dish, letting the edges hang over slightly.
  5. Pour the peach mixture into the crust, spreading evenly.
  6. Roll out the second dough disc. Cut into ½-inch strips. Lay strips over the pie in a lattice pattern, weaving over and under. Trim excess dough and pinch edges to seal.
  7. Brush the lattice and edges with beaten egg. Sprinkle 1 tbsp coarse sugar on top.
  8. Place pie on a baking sheet. Bake at 400°F for 20 minutes, then reduce heat to 350°F and bake for another 35-40 minutes until crust is golden and filling is bubbling.
  9. Let the pie rest at room temperature for at least 2 hours before serving.

Notes

Keep butter cold for a flaky crust. Cover crust edges with foil halfway through baking to prevent burning. Let pie cool for at least 2 hours to allow filling to set. Use a baking sheet to catch drips. For lattice weaving, chill pie if strips stretch. Frozen peaches can be used if fresh are unavailable.
