Instructions

Prepare the pie crust but do not bake it.
Peel the peaches and slice them into 1-inch pieces.
Measure out 3 cups of peach slices using 8-9 peaches.
In a large bowl, combine peaches, sugar, flour, cinnamon, and lemon juice. Stir gently to coat and refrigerate the mixture while rolling out the pie crust.
Preheat the oven to 400°F.
Roll out the pie dough until it is large enough to cover the bottom of your pie dish.
Spray a pie dish with non-stick cooking spray and place the rolled crust in the bottom.
Pour the peach filling over the crust and sprinkle the butter cubes on top.
Roll out the second pie crust and place it over the filling. Cut at least three slits in the top for steam to escape or create a lattice top with strips of dough.
Seal the edges by crimping them with a fork or your fingers.
Brush the top crust with the egg wash for a golden finish.
Bake for 30 minutes, then reduce the oven temperature to 350°F and continue baking for an additional 20-35 minutes until the pie is bubbling. Cover the crust with a pie shield or aluminum foil to avoid burning.
Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool on a rack for several hours to set the juices.

Notes

For best results, allow the pie to cool for at least four hours before slicing.
Using fresh, ripe peaches enhances the flavor.
You can customize the spices according to your preference, like adding nutmeg.
