Yield Serves 8

Number Of Ingredients 16

Crust
2 1/3 cups all purpose flour
1 tablespoon sugar
1 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup (1 1/2 stick) chilled unsalted butter, cut into pieces
1/4 cup chilled solid vegetable shortening, cut into pieces
1 teaspoon distilled white vinegar
6 tablespoons (about) ice water
Filling:
5 pounds medium peaches, peeled, pitted, sliced
3/4 cup sugar
1/4 cup all purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/8 teaspoon ground cardamom
1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
Vanilla ice cream

Steps:

  • For crust:
  • Combine flour, sugar and salt in large bowl. Add butter and shortening; using fingertips, rub in until mixture resembles coarse meal. Add vinegar. Using fork, mix in enough water to form moist clumps. Gather dough into ball; divide dough into 2 equal portions. Flatten each portion into disk. Wrap each in plastic; chill 45 minutes. (Can be made 2 days ahead. Keep refrigerated. Soften slightly at room temperature before rolling out.)
  • For filling:
  • Preheat oven to 400°F. Combine peaches, sugar, flour and spices in large bowl; toss to mix well.
  • Roll out 1 dough disk on floured surface to 13-inch round. Transfer to 9-inch-diameter glass pie plate. Transfer peaches to crust, mounding in center. Roll out second dough disk to 13-inch round. Roll up dough on rolling pin and unroll atop peaches. Trim edges of both crusts to 3/4-inch overhang. Fold edges over; press to seal. Crimp edges. Cut 6 slits in top crust to allow steam to escape.
  • Bake pie until crust is golden and juices bubble thickly through slits, covering edges of crust with foil if browning too quickly, about 1 hour 10 minutes. Cool pie 3 hours. Serve with ice cream.

This pie is a must-try! The crust is flaky and the filling is sweet and juicy. I'm already planning to make it again next week.

I'm not a huge fan of peach pie, but this recipe changed my mind. The filling was perfectly spiced and the crust was flaky and buttery. I'll definitely be making this again.

This pie was easy to make and turned out delicious. The only thing I would change is to use a bit less sugar in the filling. But overall, it was a great recipe.

I followed the recipe exactly and the pie came out great! The crust was crispy and the filling was gooey and sweet. My only complaint is that it didn't last long enough! :)

This peach pie recipe was a hit! The crust was flaky and buttery, and the filling was sweet and juicy. I used fresh peaches from my backyard, and they were perfect. My family loved it!
