Directions
1. Preheat the oven at 400 degrees F.
MAKING
2. For making pie crust – Combine flour and salt and toss in butter cubes. Finish rubbing in butter with your fingers - forming "flakes".
3. Add the water and toss with a fork to blend. Turn out onto a sheet of wax paper and bring dough together.
4. Form into a disc, wrap in the wax paper and refrigerate for an hour.
5. Divide dough more or less in half and use the larger portion to form the bottom crust. Roll out between two sheets of wax paper, remove the paper and turn into pie pan.
6. Roll out second portion of dough and cut into strips with a pastry cutter or knife. Return to refrigerator.
7. For making peach filling – In a small bowl combine the sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg and flour.
8. Add to the peaches and toss with a spatula to combine.
9. Pour peaches into the prepared crust, dot with butter cut into small pieces, top with the pastry strips to form a lattice top, crimp sides and bake at 400° for 15 minutes.
10. Lower heat to 350° and continue baking for 30 minutes.
11. Take out from the oven and allow to cool.
SERVING
12. Serve Peach pie with vanilla ice cream.
TIPS
If you choose to make the pastry in a food processor, simply pulse the butter with the flour and salt until you see small lumps - about 6 10-second pulses - then add the water and pulse just until dough starts to come together.
If the crust is too soft, place back in the refrigerator or freezer for a few minutes.
