Ingredients

For the Pie Filling:

6 cups fresh peaches, peeled & sliced (or 2 large cans drained)

¾ cup granulated sugar

¼ cup brown sugar

2 tablespoons cornstarch

1 tablespoon lemon juice

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

½ teaspoon cinnamon (optional)

¼ teaspoon salt

For the Crust:

2 refrigerated pie crusts (or homemade)

1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)

1 tablespoon coarse sugar for topping (optional)

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (205°C).

2. Prepare the filling: In a large bowl, mix peaches, granulated sugar, brown sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice, vanilla, cinnamon, and salt. Stir gently until the peaches are well coated.

3. Line the pan: Place one pie crust into the bottom of your pie dish or aluminum pan, pressing it gently into the edges.

4. Add the filling: Pour the peach mixture into the crust, spreading evenly.

5. Make the lattice top:

Cut the second crust into long strips.

Lay half the strips vertically across the pie, then weave the remaining strips horizontally to form a lattice pattern.

6. Seal & brush: Pinch the edges to seal, then brush the lattice with beaten egg. Sprinkle coarse sugar on top if desired.

7. Bake: Place the pie on the center rack and bake for 20 minutes at 400°F, then reduce heat to 350°F (175°C) and bake an additional 30–35 minutes until the crust is golden and the filling is bubbling.

8. Cool: Let the pie rest for at least 1 hour so the filling sets properly
