Preparation
-
1.In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and salt. Add the cold cubed butter and use a pastry cutter or your fingers to cut the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
-
2.Gradually add the ice water, one tablespoon at a time, and mix until the dough comes together. Divide the dough into two equal portions, shape them into discs, and wrap them in plastic wrap. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
-
3.Preheat the oven to 190°C (375°F).
-
4.In a separate bowl, combine the sliced peaches, granulated sugar, all-purpose flour, lemon juice, and vanilla extract. Gently toss until the peaches are coated.
-
5.Roll out one disc of dough on a lightly floured surface to fit a 9-inch pie dish. Transfer the rolled-out dough to the pie dish and trim any excess.
-
6.Pour the peach filling into the pie crust.
-
7.Roll out the second disc of dough and cut it into strips to create a lattice pattern on top of the pie. Alternatively, you can cover the pie with the whole rolled-out dough and cut slits to allow steam to escape.
-
8.Brush the top crust with the beaten egg wash.
-
9.Place the pie on a baking sheet to catch any drips and bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
-
10.Remove the pie from the oven and allow it to cool for at least 2 hours before serving. Dust with powdered sugar, if desired.
Treat your ingredients with care...
- Peaches — Choose ripe and juicy peaches for the best flavor. If the peaches are not fully ripe, place them in a paper bag at room temperature for a day or two to ripen.
- Butter — Make sure the butter is cold and cubed before incorporating it into the dough. This will help create a flaky crust.
- Lemon juice — The lemon juice adds a tangy brightness to the peach filling. Adjust the amount according to your preference for acidity.
Tips & Tricks
- To prevent the bottom crust from becoming soggy, pre-bake it for 10 minutes before adding the peach filling.
- For an extra touch of flavor, sprinkle cinnamon or nutmeg over the peach filling before adding the top crust.
- If the edges of the pie crust start to brown too quickly, cover them with aluminum foil to prevent burning.
- Serve the pie warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a delicious contrast of temperatures and textures.
- Leftover pie can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven or microwave before serving.
Serving advice
Serve the Georgia Peach Delight warm or at room temperature. For an extra special touch, top each slice with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
Presentation advice
To enhance the presentation of the Georgia Peach Delight, dust the top crust with powdered sugar just before serving. This will add a touch of elegance and make the pie even more visually appealing.
