Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 discs pie crust
  • 2 lbs (900 g) fresh yellow peaches

Instructions

  1. Roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface until it’s about 12 inches in diameter.
  2. Place the dough into your pie dish, pressing it down to remove air bubbles.
  3. Chill the pie crust in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes.
  4. Peel and slice the peaches; blanch in boiling water for easy peeling.
  5. Mix the sliced peaches with lemon juice, sugar, tapioca starch, vanilla extract, and paprika or cinnamon.
  6. Let the peach mixture rest for about 10-15 minutes.
  7. Pour the peach filling into your chilled pie crust.
  8. Dot with pieces of unsalted butter on top of the filling.
  9. Roll out the second disc of pie dough and place it over the filling.
  10. Brush the top crust with the egg wash and sprinkle with sugar.
  11. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and bake for 20 minutes, then reduce to 350°F (175°C) and bake for 30-40 minutes.
  12. Cool the pie for at least 2 hours before slicing.
