Ingredients

  • 2 quantity pie dough
  • 7 medium peaches, about 3.2 pounds, peeled & sliced into 1/2-inch wedges
  • 1/2 cup caster sugar
  • 3 tbsp cornflour
  • juice of 1/2 lemon
  • 1 egg, beaten
  • demerara sugar, for sprinkling

Instructions

  • Once the dough has chilled, remove one of the disks from the fridge & on a lightly floured surface, roll it out into a roughly 12-inch circle that is about ΒΌ-inch thick. Carefully press the dough into your pie dish/tart tin & store in the fridge while you prepared the filling. (Think of the flakes.)
  • Remove the second disk from the fridge & roll out into a circle roughly 12-inches. Place on a sheet pan & leave to chill in the fridge.
  • Preheat the oven to 200C.
  • Now, the filling. In a large bowl, gently stir together the peaches, caster sugar, cornflour, & lemon juice.
  • Fill the prepared pie shell with the filling & cover with the second prepared crust (or make make this crust into a lattice topping. I watched a tutorial on youtube), crimp the edges together, and slide the whole thing into the freezer for at least 15-minutes. (I believe this was crucial to my success.)
  • When ready to bake, brush the top of the pie with the beaten egg yolk and sprinkle with some sugar before baking in the preheated oven for 40-50 minutes, or until the juices are bubbling & the crust is a deep golden brown.
  • Leave the pie to cool & serve warm with some lightly whipped cream.
