Country Peach Pie
- 3 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 3/4 teaspoon salt
- 2 sticks cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
- 4 pounds peaches, peeled and cut into wedges
- 3/4 cup plus 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cardamom
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/8 teaspoon ground allspice
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
- 1 large egg
- Make the crust: Pulse the flour, sugar and salt in a food processor.
- Add the butter and pulse until the mixture looks like coarse meal with pea-size bits of butter.
- Add 1/2 cup ice water and pulse until the dough just starts to come together.
- Divide the dough between 2 pieces of plastic wrap and form each into a disk; wrap tightly and refrigerate until firm, at least 1 hour.
- Make the filling: Toss the peaches in a bowl with 3/4 cup sugar, the flour, lemon juice and spices.
- Lightly dust a large piece of parchment paper with flour.
- Roll out 1 piece of the dough into a 12-inch round on the parchment.
- Ease the dough into a 9-inch pie plate.
- Add the filling, mounding it slightly in the center; dot with the butter and refrigerate.
- Roll out the second piece of dough into a 12-inch round and cut it into 1/2-inch-wide strips.
- Lay half of the strips on the pie in one direction, leaving about 1 inch of space between each strip.
- Lay the remaining strips on top, crossing them diagonally to make a lattice pattern (no need to weave); trim the edges of the strips, leaving a small overhang.
- Fold the overhanging dough under itself and crimp the edge of the crust with your fingers.
- Beat the egg with 1 tablespoon water and brush on the crust edge and lattice top.
- Sprinkle with the remaining 1 tablespoon sugar and refrigerate until firm, about 30 minutes.
- Position a rack in the lower third of the oven.
- Put a baking sheet on the rack and preheat to 425 degrees F. Put the pie on the hot baking sheet and bake 20 minutes.
- Reduce the oven temperature to 375 degrees F and continue baking until the pie is golden and the filling is bubbly, 50 minutes to 1 hour.
- (Cover loosely with foil if the top is browning too quickly.)
- Transfer to a rack to cool completely before slicing.
