Ingredients

The following ingredients have 8 Servings
  • 2 Store Bought Pie Crusts - for a 9 inch pie
  • 8 Fresh Ripe Peaches
  • 3/4 cup Granulated Sugar
  • 1 heaping tablespoon of All Purpose Flour
  • 1/4 cup Bourbon (I used Four Roses)
  • 1 1/2 tablespoon Butter (at room temperature)
  • 1 Egg White
  • Optional: Serve with Caramel Sauce and Vanilla Ice Cream

Instruction

  • Heat your oven to 400 degrees. While the oven heats, bring a large pot of water to a boil, and prepare an ice bath (a large bowl of ice water). Once the water comes to a boil, add the peaches and leave them in the water for 1 minute. After a minute, use a slotted spoon to remove the peaches from the boiling water, and place them in an ice bath. Leave the peaches in the ice bath for 1 minute. Then peel the skin off the peaches.
  • Slice the peaches in half, remove the pit, and continue slicing into thin pieces. Place the sliced peaches in a large bowl.
  • Pour the sugar, bourbon, and flour over the peaches. Stir together, and then let this pie filling sit for 10 minutes at room temperature.
  • There are lots of different types of pie crusts. You can buy the rolled up dough, or the crust in an aluminum pan all ready to go. I happened to have one rolled up crust, and one crust in a pan, which was perfect, but you could also use two rolled up crusts. If you are using the crust that is not in a pie pan, place the crust in a pie pan. Then spread the butter evenly over the bottom of the pie crust.
  • Pour the pie filling into the crust. Top with the second pie crust. I used a cookie cutter to cut out stars and then I layered over the pie filling creating a top layer for crust. Or you can opt to simply unroll the second crust, cut some slits in it to release the steam, lay it over the pie filling, and fold the edges over using your fingers to squeeze the edges of the crusts together.
  • Whisk the egg white, and brush it over the top of the pie. Bake for 30 minutes.
  • After 30 minutes, reduce the heat to 375 degrees, cover with foil, and bake for another 40 minutes.
  • Serve the pie warm with caramel sauce and/or vanilla ice cream.
