Ingredients:
- 320g All-purpose flour
- 225g Unsalted butter, chilled and cubed
- 80ml Ice water
- 15g Granulated sugar
- 5g Fine sea salt
- 1.2kg Fresh peaches, peeled and sliced 1/2 inch thick
- 100g Granulated sugar
- 50g Light brown sugar, packed
- 15ml Lemon juice
- 30g Cornstarch
- 2g Ground cinnamon
- 0.5g Ground nutmeg
- 5ml Pure vanilla extract
- 14g Unsalted butter, cubed for dotting
- 1 large Egg
- 15ml Heavy cream
- 10g Turbinado sugar
Instructions:
- Combine the 320g flour, 15g sugar, and 5g salt in a large bowl.
- Cut the 225g cubed chilled butter into the flour using a pastry cutter until the fat is the size of small peas.
- Drizzle the 80ml ice water in slowly, tossing with a fork until the dough texture just holds together when squeezed.
- Divide the dough into two disks, wrap in plastic, and chill for at least 1 hour.
- Toss the 1.2kg sliced peaches with 100g granulated sugar, 50g brown sugar, and 15ml lemon juice.
- Macerate for 30 minutes until a pool of syrup forms at the bottom of the bowl.
- Drain the liquid into a small saucepan and simmer until it reduces by half and looks like thick honey.
- Mix the reduced syrup back with the peaches, then stir in 30g cornstarch, cinnamon, nutmeg, and 5ml vanilla.
- Roll the first dough disk into a 12 inch circle and drape into the pie plate.
- Pour the peach filling into the crust and dot with the 14g of cubed butter.
- Top with the second crust (lattice or solid with vents) and crimp the edges until sealed tight.
- Brush with the egg and heavy cream wash and sprinkle with 10g turbinado sugar.
- Bake at 400°F (200°C) for 20 minutes, then reduce to 375°F (190°C).
- Continue baking for 35 minutes until the filling is bubbling vigorously in the center.
- Cool for at least 3 hours.
