0.8 cup butter unsalted frozen chilled cut into small pieces, or
1 large eggs lightly beaten
1.5 cups flour
2 tablespoons flour
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
0.3 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1 tablespoon juice of lemon fresh
3 cups peaches pitted peeled sliced
0.5 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons sugar recommended: turbinado
1 tablespoon butter unsalted cold cut into pieces
4 tablespoons water ice cold
6 servings whipped cream fresh for garnish
Equipment
food processor
bowl
baking sheet
baking paper
oven
mixing bowl
blender
aluminum foil
stand mixer
rolling pin
Directions
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or foil.
Stir together the peaches, brown sugar, flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, and lemon juice in a large bowl until combined.
On a well-floured surface, using a lightly floured rolling pin, roll out the pie dough into a large circle, about 12 to 14 inches in diameter. Move the dough circle to the prepared baking sheet. Chill the rolled-out dough in the refrigerator until firm, about 15 minutes. Spoon the fruit mixture onto the center of the dough leaving a 1-inch border. Fold the edges of the dough over the fruit, pleating the dough, then dot the fruit filling with the butter pieces. Lightly brush the dough with the beaten egg, and sprinkle with sugar.
Bake the pie until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling, 25 to 30 minutes. Cover if the crust browns too quickly. Allow the pie to cool slightly.
Serve warm with vanilla bean ice cream or alongside fresh whipped cream.
In a mixing bowl, mix together the flour and the salt; cut or work the butter into the flour with your fingers or with a pastry blender until you have large pea-size chunks scattered throughout. Alternatively, pulse the dough in a food processor, or mix in a stand mixer with the paddle attachment on low speed.
Add the ice water slowly while stirring with a fork, or in the food processor or mixer, until just combined. Be careful not to overwork the dough. Divide the dough into 2 disks, flatten and refrigerate each for at least 15 minutes.
