10 tablespoons, cold (cut into pieces for the dough)
cold water
4 tablespoons, approximately (to form the dough)
peaches
2 2/3 lbs (peeled, pitted, and sliced)
brown sugar
2/3 cup (for the filling)
ground nutmeg
to taste (for the filling)
ground ginger
optional (for the filling)
cornstarch
2 tablespoons (for thickening the filling)
butter
4 tablespoons, at room temperature (for the topping)

Instructions
1
Prepare the Dough: In a food processor, combine the all-purpose flour, salt, and sugar. Pulse a few times until mixed.
2
Add the cold, cubed butter to the flour mixture and process until the texture resembles coarse cornmeal.
3
Transfer the mixture to a mixing bowl and gradually add cold water, mixing until the dough just comes together. Form the dough into a ball, wrap it in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
4
Prepare the Peach Filling: While the dough chills, peel, slice, and pit the peaches. In a large bowl, combine the sliced peaches with brown sugar, ground nutmeg, optional ginger, and cornstarch. Toss gently to combine and set aside.
5
Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
6
Assemble the Pie: Roll the chilled dough out on a floured surface to fit a 9-inch deep dish pie pan. Place the rolled dough into the pan and crimp the edges. Prick the bottom of the dough with a fork in several places to prevent bubbling.
7
Add the peach filling into the prepared crust, spreading it evenly.
8
Make the Streusel Topping: In a mixing bowl, beat together the room-temperature butter and brown sugar until creamy. Stir in the chopped nuts, and then gradually add just enough flour to create a crumbly texture.
9
Distribute the streusel topping evenly over the peach filling.
10
Bake: Place the pie in the preheated oven and bake for 40-60 minutes, or until the pie is bubbly and the crust and streusel are golden brown. Allow the pie to cool slightly before serving.
