How to make Southern Peach Pie
Step 1: In a large mixing bowl, mix the sugars. Then, add the peaches and gently toss. Cover and let this stand for about 1 hour.
Step 2: On a lightly floured surface, roll one-half of the dough into ⅛-inch thick, then place the dough on a 9-inch pie plate. Evenly trim the rim of a pie plate/iron skillet. Place in the fridge.
Step 3: Prepare the oven. Preheat it to 400 degrees.
Step 4: In the meantime, drain the peaches and reserve the juice. In a small saucepan, place the cinnamon, cornstarch, nutmeg, and salt. Slowly stir in the reserved juice. Bring everything to a boil and cook for about 2 minutes, stirring until thickened. When done, remove the pan from the heat and whisk in the lemon juice and butter. Next, fold in the peaches. Pour this into the pie crust.
Step 5: Into a ⅛-inch thick circle, roll out the rest of the dough, then cut it into 1 ½-inch wide strips. In a lattice pattern on top, arrange the filling. Then, trim and seal the strips to the edge of the bottom crust before fluting the edge. Loosely wrap the pie dish with foil and place it in the preheated oven. Bake for about 40 minutes. Uncover and continue baking for another 10 to 20 minutes or until the filling is bubbly and the crust is golden brown.
Step 6: Remove the from the oven when done and let the pie cool on a wire rack.
Step 7: If desired, serve the pie with a big scoop of vanilla ice cream. Enjoy!
