6 cups of sliced Peaches

Juice of ½ Lemon

3 Tbsps. Cornstarch

½ cup Sugar

¼ tsp. Cinnamon

1/8 tsp. Nutmeg

¼ tsp. Almond Extract*

Double Pie Crust

Peel and pit the Peaches; cut in half then slice into ¼” slices.
Place in a large mixing bowl; sprinkle with the Lemon Juice, then gently combine with the Sugar, Cornstarch, Cinnamon and Nutmg.
Roll out half the Pastry and line a 9” pie pan, allowing the dough to hang over the sides.
Fill the pastry with the Peaches, and then roll out the other half of the dough.
Fit over the top, trim and crimp the edges; slash the top crust to allow for steam venting.
