- 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1/4 cup flour
- 1/8 tsp salt (optional)

- Whisk together brown sugar, sugar, flour, salt, and cinnamon in another bowl.
- Add sugar and flour mixture to peaches and stir to coat.
- Immediately pour peach mixture into pie crust and dot with butter. Do not let the peach mixture sit as it may become too juicy.
- Place remaining pie crust over the filling, press the edges together to seal, and cut slits in the top crust. You can also create a lattice top.
- Brush the top of the pie with beaten egg and sprinkle with sugar.
- Freeze the pie for 15 minutes, then place it on a preheated cookie sheet in the oven.
- Bake at 425 degrees for 15 minutes, then reduce the temperature to 375 degrees and bake for an additional 40-45 minutes.
- Cool before serving.
How to Serve Peach Pie

How to Store Peach Pie
Store leftover Peach Pie in the refrigerator, covered, for up to 3-4 days. Reheat in the oven or microwave before serving.
Tips to Make Peach Pie
- Use ripe but firm peaches for the best flavor and texture.
- Brushing the crust with beaten egg helps achieve a golden, glossy finish.
- Be cautious of excess juice from the peaches, as it can make the pie soggy.
