Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 large ripe peaches, peeled and sliced
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 2 (9-inch) pie crusts, homemade or store-bought
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, cold and cut into small pieces
  • For the almond crumble:
  • 1/2 cup sliced almonds, toasted
  • 1/3 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/3 cup packed brown sugar
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 1/4 teaspoon almond extract (optional)

Instructions

  1. Peel, pit, and slice peaches into 1/4-inch thick slices. Toss in a large bowl with granulated sugar, brown sugar, cornstarch, cinnamon, nutmeg, and lemon juice. Let sit for 10-15 minutes.
  2. In a small bowl, combine toasted sliced almonds, flour, brown sugar, melted butter, and almond extract. Mix until crumbly but moist. Set aside.
  3. Roll out one pie crust to about 12 inches in diameter and transfer to a 9-inch pie dish. Trim excess dough.
  4. Pour peach mixture into the crust and spread evenly. Dot with cold butter pieces.
  5. Roll out second pie crust and cut into 1/2-inch wide strips. Lay half the strips parallel across the pie, then weave the remaining strips perpendicularly to form a lattice. Trim and crimp edges to seal.
  6. Sprinkle almond crumble evenly over the lattice crust.
  7. Place pie on a baking sheet and bake in a preheated 375°F (190°C) oven for 50-60 minutes until crust is golden and filling bubbles. Tent edges with foil if browning too quickly.
  8. Cool pie for at least 2 hours before serving. Serve warm or at room temperature, optionally with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.

Notes

Peel peaches quickly by blanching in boiling water for 30 seconds then plunging into ice water. Keep dough and hands cool when making lattice to prevent tearing. Tent crust edges with foil if browning too fast. Let pie cool fully before slicing to avoid runny filling. Toast almonds just until fragrant to avoid bitterness.
