Lattice Peach Pie
Makes 1 (9-inch) deep-dish pie
Ingredients
- 3 pounds (1,362 grams) fresh peaches or other stone fruit, peeled, halved, pitted, and sliced ½ inch thick (about 8 cups)
- ½ cup (100 grams) granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon (15 grams) fresh lemon juice
- ½ teaspoon (1.5 grams) kosher salt
- â…“ cup (43 grams) cornstarch
- Double-Crust Pie Dough (recipe follows)
- 1 large egg (50 grams)
- 1 tablespoon (15 grams) water
Instructions
- In a large saucepan, stir together fruit, sugar, lemon juice, and salt. Cook over medium heat, stirring frequently, until fruit begins to soften and release juices, 5 to8 minutes. Carefully transfer about ½ cup (about 120 grams) juice from pan to a small bowl. Add cornstarch to juice, and whisk until smooth. Stir cornstarch mixture into fruit mixture; bring to a boil. Cook, stirring frequently, until mixture is thick and translucent, 1 to 2 minutes. Remove from heat, and let cool completely.
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Lightly spray a 9-inch deep-dish pie plate with cooking spray.
- On a lightly floured surface, roll half of Double-Crust Pie Dough into a 13-inch circle (about ⅛ inch thick). Transfer dough to prepared plate, pressing into bottom and up sides. Trim excess dough to ½ inch beyond edge of plate. Spread cooled fruit mixture into prepared crust.
- On a lightly floured surface, roll remaining Double-Crust Pie Dough to ⅛-inch thickness. Cut dough into 1-inch-wide strips. Arrange dough strips on fruit mixture in a lattice pattern. Trim excess dough from strips to ½ inch beyond edge of plate, and press dough strips into bottom crust. Fold edges under, and crimp as desired.
- In a small bowl, whisk together egg and 1 tablespoon (15 grams) water. Using a pastry brush, lightly brush egg wash onto dough strips and edges of crust.
- Bake until crust is golden and set, 35 to 40 minutes, covering edges with foil after 20 minutes of baking to prevent excess browning. Let cool completely on a wire rack. Refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
