Ingredients
  

  • 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp fine sea salt
  • 1 tbsp granulated sugar
  • 1 cup cold unsalted butter cubed
  • 6 cups fresh peaches peeled and sliced
  • 2/3 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 tbsp cornstarch
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg optional, for warmth
  • 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
  • 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
  • 1 tbsp unsalted butter dotted on top of filling

Instructions
 

  • In a large bowl, whisk together flour, salt, and sugar. Add cold butter cubes. Using a pastry blender or two forks, cut butter into flour until pea-sized crumbs remain.
  • Add ice water, one tablespoon at a time, tossing gently until dough holds together. Don’t overmix—stop when you can pinch it and it sticks.
  • Split dough in half; shape each into a flat disk. Wrap in plastic and chill at least 30 minutes.
  • Preheat oven to 400°F.
  • On a lightly floured surface, roll out one disk into a 12-inch circle. Transfer to a 9-inch pie pan, letting excess hang over edge.
  • In a bowl, toss peach slices with sugar, cornstarch, cinnamon, nutmeg, vanilla, and lemon juice. Let sit 5 minutes to draw out juices.
  • Pour peach mixture into pie shell, distributing fruit evenly. Dot filling with small butter pieces.
  • Roll out remaining disk; place over filling. Trim overhang, pinch edges to seal, and cut vents in top.
  • Bake at 400°F for 20 minutes, then reduce heat to 350°F and bake another 30–35 minutes, until crust is golden and filling bubbles.
  • Cool at least 2 hours on a rack—this helps the filling set. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Notes

Store leftovers covered in the fridge for up to 4 days. Freeze slices in airtight containers for up to 2 months. To reheat, warm in a 325°F oven for 10–15 minutes or in the microwave for 30 seconds.
