Instructions

    1. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt.
    2. Add the cold butter cubes and use a pastry cutter or your fingers to work the butter into the flour until it resembles coarse crumbs.
    3. Slowly add ice water, one tablespoon at a time, mixing until the dough just comes together.
    4. Divide into two discs, wrap in plastic wrap, and chill for at least 1 hour.
    1. In a large mixing bowl, combine sliced peaches, granulated sugar, brown sugar, cornstarch, cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice, vanilla, and lemon juice. Stir well and let sit for 15-20 minutes.
    1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
    2. Roll out one disc of chilled dough on a floured surface and fit it into a 9-inch pie dish. Trim excess dough, leaving a slight overhang.
    3. Pour the peach filling into the crust and dot the top with small pieces of butter.
    4. Roll out the second disc of dough and place over the filling, crimping the edges to seal. You can do a full crust with slits for steam or a lattice crust.
    5. Brush the top with a little milk or egg wash and sprinkle with the cinnamon sugar topping.
    1. Place the pie on a baking sheet to catch any drips and bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
    2. Let cool for at least 2 hours before slicing—if you can wait that long!
