Peach Pie Recipe
Description
Peach Pie Recipe begins with peeled, ripe peaches that are sliced and combined with sugars, cornstarch, warm spices like cinnamon and nutmeg, lemon juice, and vanilla extract. This blend creates a thickened, flavorful fruit filling. The pie is built in a traditional two-crust design, with the bottom crust lining a 9-inch pie dish and the top crust cut into strips woven into a lattice, allowing steam to escape and adding visual appeal. Dotting butter pieces atop the filling enriches the fruit as it bakes. An egg wash brushed over the lattice crust encourages browning and shine. Baking at 400°F for 45 to 55 minutes ensures the crust cooks through with a golden hue, and the filling bubbles gently beneath. After cooling for at least an hour, the pie sets up, making it easier to slice and allowing flavors to meld. This pie is suitable as a dessert or special treat featuring fresh peach flavor and classic pie textures.
