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:

  1. Whisk flour, sugar, and salt in a large bowl.
  2. Use a pastry cutter to work the chilled butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs with some pea-sized lumps remaining.
  3. Gradually add ice water, one tablespoon at a time, stirring with a fork until the dough just begins to clump together.
  4. Divide dough into two discs, wrap in plastic, and flatten. Place in the freezer for 10 minutes.
  5. In a large bowl, combine sliced peaches, lemon juice, sugar, cornstarch, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
  6. Let the filling mixture sit for 5–10 minutes to macerate.
  7. 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.
  8. Pour the peach mixture into the crust, piling the fruit slightly higher in the center.
  9. Evenly distribute the diced butter dots across the top of the filling.
