Preparation
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a saucepan, add the peaches, sugars, butter, water, lemon juice, vanilla, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Bring to a gentle simmer for 5–7 minutes, stirring to melt the sugars into the fruit.
- If a thicker filling is desired, stir in the cornstarch and cook for another minute until it thickens slightly.
- Roll out the first pie crust and press it into the bottom of a 9×13 baking dish. Bake for 10 minutes to set.
- Pour half of the warm peach mixture over the baked crust.
- Lay the second crust on top, slightly overlapping for a rustic look. Bake for another 10 minutes.
- Spoon the remaining peach mixture over the second crust, then tear or cut the final crust into pieces and lay on top for a rustic finish.
- Sprinkle the top with sugar and cinnamon, and brush with melted butter.
- Bake for 25–30 minutes until the top is golden and flaky, and the juices bubble out.
Notes
Serve warm with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream. This dish is great for potlucks, family dinners, or just a cozy night in. For variations, try adding chopped nuts or flavored extracts.
