Easy Old-Fashioned Peach Pie

Easy, Old-Fashioned Peach Pie Recipe

aka “The Easiest Peach Pie You’ll EVER Make”

So…why peach pie today?

One of my coworkers brought peaches from his family’s farm to share at work the other day! I was very excited to try them, but I thought it would be nice to semi-return the favor and share some pie with everybody at work! Nothing makes me happier than seeing somebody smile from the fruits of their own labor, and I am veryyyyyy excited to keep baking with more fruit from this farm in the future!

(Thank you for the peaches, David)

We work at a local wine and spirit shop,
hence the Short’s case for peaches lol

Ingredients:

1 package of two pie crusts for a 9 inch pie pan

1 egg

4 1/2 cups peeled and sliced peaches

2 Tbsp lemon juice

1/2 cup all-purpose flour

1 cup white sugar

1/2 tsp ground cinnamon

1/4 tsp ground nutmeg

1/4 tsp salt

2 Tbsp butter

The Recipe!

Preheat oven to 450 degrees.
Line pie pan with one pie crust; save other for later.
Put sliced peaches into a large bowl, and carefully stir in the lemon juice.
Combine powder ingredients in a separate bowl for even distribution.
Carefully mix powder combo into the peaches.
Pour peach filling mix into the lined pie crust pan.
Cut the butter into smaller pieces, and distribute on top of the peach mix.
Cover pie with the remaining pie crust, and brush some of the beaten egg around the edges. Seal the edges by either rolling/folding them in, or pressing them with a fork. Brush what is left of the egg over the the entire top of the pie.
Cut a few slits into the middle of the pie to let it breathe while baking.
Bake pie for 10 minutes.
Reduce heat to 350 degrees and bake for an additional 35-40 minutes.
Remove from oven, and let it cool down before eating.

***The oven I used to bake today is a bit older, so I baked the pie for 40 minutes today. Most ovens will probably be fine at 35 minutes.

***I make the cinnamon and nutmeg measurements a bit more on the “round” side of the scoops; I love savory flavors and wanted to bring it out the spices just a touch.
