Ingredients
Refrigerated pie crusts
1 (15 ounce) package (No preparation needed, ready to use.)
Sugar
1 cup (Granulated sugar.)
Cornstarch
1/4 cup (Powdered form.)
Apple pie spice
1 teaspoon (Store-bought or homemade blend.)
Peaches

Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Prepare the pie crust according to the package instructions for a two-crust pie, using a 9-inch pie plate.
2
In a large mixing bowl, combine the sugar, cornstarch, and apple pie spice. Mix well to ensure the dry ingredients are evenly distributed.

4
Spoon the peach filling into the pastry-lined pie plate, making sure to distribute the peaches evenly.
5
Cover the peach mixture with the second pie crust. Seal and flute the edges to create a decorative finish. Cut small slits in the top crust to allow steam to escape.
6
Bake in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
7
For the last 15-20 minutes of baking, place strips of foil around the edges of the crust to prevent excessive browning.

Once done, remove the pie from the oven and cool on a wire rack for at least 30 minutes before slicing and serving.
