Ingredients
Fresh peaches
6 cups (thinly sliced)
Sugar
1 cup
Cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon
Flour
4 tablespoons
Butter
2 tablespoons (dotted on top)
Egg white
1 (lightly beaten with water)
Water
1 tablespoon
Ready-made pie crusts
2 (one for bottom and one for lattice top)
Sugar and cinnamon
(for sprinkling on top)
Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
2
In a large mixing bowl, combine the thinly sliced peaches with sugar, cinnamon, and flour. Toss gently until the peaches are evenly coated. Set the mixture aside to allow the flavors to meld.
3
Take one of the ready-made pie crusts and carefully press it into the bottom and sides of the Le Creuset Round Tarte Tatin Pan. Use your fingers to mold the crust into the pan, creating fluted edges. Ensure there are no gaps for the filling to spill through.
4
Pour the peach mixture into the prepared crust, spreading it evenly across the base.
5
Dot the top of the peach filling with small pieces of butter for added richness.
6
Cut the second pie crust into strips and create a lattice pattern over the top of the pie. For a decorative touch, use leftover crust pieces to make small designs or shapes to place atop the lattice if desired.
7
In a small bowl, whisk together the egg white and water. Brush this mixture over the lattice crust to give it a beautiful shine as it bakes.
8
Sprinkle a light dusting of sugar and cinnamon over the crust for an extra layer of flavor.
9
Place the pie in the preheated oven and bake for 45-55 minutes, or until the peach filling is bubbly and the crust has turned a golden brown.
10
Once baked, remove the pie from the oven and let it cool on a rack before serving. This allows the filling to set, making it easier to slice.
