Homemade peach pie

Peach pie is a delightful dessert, especially when peaches are in season. Here’s a simple recipe for a homemade peach pie: I love a lattice top, create yours however you wish.

Ingredients:1 package refrigerated pie crusts (2 crusts)
5 cups sliced fresh peaches (about 7 medium peaches)
3/4 cup granulated sugar
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
Additional sugar for sprinkling on top

Instructions: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
Roll out one of the pie crusts and place it in a 9-inch pie dish. Trim the edges if necessary.
In a large bowl, combine the sliced peaches, sugar, flour, lemon juice, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Toss gently to coat the peaches evenly.
Pour the peach mixture into the pie crust and dot with pieces of butter.
Roll out the second pie crust and place it over the filling. Trim, fold, and crimp the edges to seal. Cut slits in the top crust to allow steam to escape.
Brush the top crust with the beaten egg and sprinkle with additional sugar.
Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
Let the pie cool before serving to allow the filling to set.

Serve your peach pie with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for an extra treat! Enjoy your baking!
