Ingredients:
- 2 ½ cups (300g) all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp (6g) granulated sugar
- 1 tsp (6g) salt
- 1 cup (225g) unsalted butter, chilled and cubed
- 6–8 tbsp (90–120ml) ice water
- 6 cups (approx. 1.2kg) fresh peaches, peeled and sliced
- ¾ cup (150g) granulated sugar
- ¼ cup (30g) cornstarch
- 1 tbsp (8g) ground cinnamon
- ¼ tsp (1g) ground nutmeg
- 1 tbsp (15ml) lemon juice
- 2 tbsp (28g) unsalted butter, chilled and diced
Instructions:
- Whisk flour, sugar, and salt in a large bowl.
- Use a pastry cutter to work the chilled butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs with some pea-sized lumps remaining.
- Gradually add ice water, one tablespoon at a time, stirring with a fork until the dough just begins to clump together.
- Divide dough into two discs, wrap in plastic, and flatten. Place in the freezer for 10 minutes.
- In a large bowl, combine sliced peaches, lemon juice, sugar, cornstarch, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
- Let the filling mixture sit for 5–10 minutes to macerate.
- On a floured surface, roll out the first dough disc to a 12-inch circle and ease it into the pie plate, pressing firmly against the sides.
- Pour the peach mixture into the crust, piling the fruit slightly higher in the center.
- Evenly distribute the diced butter dots across the top of the filling.
