Ingredients
  

Pie Crust

  • 2 cups flour
  • 1 cup butter flavored shortening
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup cold water

Peach Filling

  • 5 cups fresh peaches, sliced (remove skins)
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice
  • ¼ cup flour (or 2 Tablespoons minute tapioca)
  • ¾ cup sugar
  • ¼ teaspoon cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoon nutmeg
  • 3 Tablespoons butter

Sugar Glaze

  • 1 Tablespoon milk
  • 1 Tablespoon sugar

Instructions
 

  • Mix flour, shortening and salt with fingers until it is a crumb mixture. Then add in cold water and mix until well blended.
  • Divide dough in half and wrap each half in plastic wrap and refrigerate for about 1 hour so it is easier to work with.
  • Take one ball from the fridge and roll into a circle on a lightly floured surface. Roll it thin because pie crust swells as it cooks.
  • Place dough in a 9 inch pie pan. Don't trim the excess of yet, leave it hanging over the edge.
  • In a bowl mix peaches and lemon juice. In a separate bowl combine flour (or tapioca), sugar, cinnamon and nutmeg.
  • Add this mixture to the peaches.
  • Pour into crust. Dot with small amounts of butter over the peaches.
  • Roll out the other ball of dough. After it's rolled out fold in half and cut some slits and designs so pie can breathe while cooking.
  • Carefully place top crust over peaches.
  • Cut off excess from top crust only. Bring the excess dough from bottom crust and fold over top.
  • Seal the around the edge and flute the edge with finger.
  • With fingertip wet the top crust with milk making sure it does not puddle. Sprinkle sugar over the milk.
  • Bake at 425 degrees for about 40 to 45 minutes.
  • Crust should be golden brown. You may want to cover the edges with foil halfway through cooking time to prevent excessive browning on the outer edges.
