How to Make Easy Southern Peach Pie

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Prepare two 9-inch pie crusts according to box instructions (or your favorite recipe) and place one in a 9-inch glass pie plate.
  3. In a large bowl, gently combine 6 cups peeled and sliced fresh peaches with 2 tablespoons of lemon juice.
  4. Add 1 cup granulated sugar, 1/4 cup all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg, and a pinch of salt to the peaches. Gently stir to combine.
  5. Pour the peach mixture into the prepared pie crust.
  6. Top with the second pie crust. Crimp the edges to seal, and cut several slits in the top crust to allow steam to escape.
  7. Cover the edges of the crust with strips of aluminum foil after 15-20 minutes of baking to prevent over-browning.
  8. Bake for 35-45 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
  9. Let the pie cool completely on a wire rack for at least 1 hour before serving.
  10. **Optional Raspberry Sauce:**
  11. In a 2-quart saucepan, whisk together 1 cup granulated sugar and 2 tablespoons cornstarch.
  12. Gradually whisk in 1/2 cup raspberry juice (or more, to taste) and cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture boils and thickens (about 2-3 minutes).
  13. Gently fold in 1 cup fresh raspberries.
  14. Stir in 1/2 teaspoon almond extract.
  15. Cool completely for about 1 hour before serving. Spoon sauce over cooled pie slices before serving.
