Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 1/2 lb. ripe peaches (67 large peaches, peeled)
  • 1/2 C. sugar, plus extra for sprinkling on lattice
  • 2 tbsp. cornstarch
  • 1/2 tsp. grated orange zest
  • 1/4 C. freshly squeezed orange juice
  • 1 tbsp. unsalted butter
  • 12 tbsp. very cold butter
  • 3 C. all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp. kosher salt
  • 1 tbsp. sugar
  • 1/3 C. very cold vegetable shortening
  • 1/2 C. ice water

Instructions

  1. Prepare the pie crust by mixing flour, salt, and sugar in a food processor. Add cold butter and shortening until pea-sized pieces form. Gradually add ice water until dough forms. Chill for 30 minutes.
  2. Roll out the chilled dough into two circles: one for the bottom crust and one for lattice strips.
  3. For the filling, combine sliced peaches with sugar, cornstarch, orange zest, juice, and butter over medium heat until bubbling. Mix in chopped peaches.
  4. Assemble by pouring the peach filling into the prepared bottom crust and weaving the lattice top.
  5. Brush with egg wash, sprinkle with sugar, then bake at 400°F for about 45 minutes or until golden brown.
