Description
Make this easy Grandparents Day peach pie with a foolproof lattice crust. Juicy, sweet, and perfect for sharing with family.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, cold and cubed
- 6–8 tablespoons ice water
- 6–7 large ripe peaches, peeled, pitted, and sliced
- ¾ cup granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon coarse sugar (like Turbinado)
Instructions
- In a large bowl or food processor, whisk together flour, sugar, and salt. Add cold cubed butter and pulse or cut in until mixture resembles coarse meal with pea-sized butter chunks.
- Gradually add ice water, one tablespoon at a time, mixing gently until dough clumps together. Divide dough in half, shape into disks, wrap in plastic, and chill for at least 1 hour.
- While dough chills, peel, pit, and slice peaches into ¼-inch thick slices. Toss with sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice, and vanilla. Let sit for 15-20 minutes to draw out juices.
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Roll out one dough disk into a 12-inch circle and transfer to a 9-inch pie dish. Trim edges, leaving a ½-inch overhang.
- Pour in the peach mixture, including all juices.
- Roll out the second dough disk and cut into ½-inch strips. Weave strips over and under to create a lattice pattern. Trim excess dough, fold edges under, and crimp.
- Brush lattice with milk or cream (optional) and sprinkle with coarse sugar.
- Place pie on a baking sheet and bake at 400°F for 20 minutes. Reduce heat to 375°F and bake for another 30-40 minutes until crust is golden and filling is bubbling vigorously.
- Let pie cool for at least 2 hours before slicing to allow filling to set.
Notes
Keep dough cold for a flaky crust. Ensure filling bubbles vigorously to activate cornstarch. Let pie cool completely before slicing to prevent runny filling. Can be stored in the fridge for up to 4 days.
