- For the Pie crust: Sift the flour and salt into a bowl.

- Stirring with a fork, gradually add enough of the water until the mixture clumps together.

- Bake for 10 minutes or until light golden brown.
- Remove from the oven and cool completely.
- In a medium bowl, toss the peaches, cornstarch, sugar, lemon juice and cinnamon.
- Fold in the butter.
- Divide the peach mixture between the 6 ramekins.
- Cover the peach mixture with the larger rounds of dough, letting the dough come down the sides of the ramekins.
- Pinch the dough firmly onto the top edge of the dish.
