How to Make Peach Lattice Pie
Making this Peach Lattice Pie is easier than you might think. Follow these simple steps to create a stunning dessert that will impress everyone at your table:
1. Prepare the Pie Dough: In a medium-sized bowl, mix flour, salt, and butter using a fork. Add egg yolks and water, and combine until a dough forms. Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and chill in the freezer for about 30 minutes or longer in the fridge.
2. Prepare the Filling: Cut the peaches into small chunks and toss them in a mixture of sugar and potato starch. Gently combine everything until the peaches are evenly coated.
3. Roll Out the Dough: Divide the chilled dough, reserving one-third of the excess dough for the lattice top. Roll out the larger portion on a lightly floured surface to fit a 9-inch pie pan for the bottom crust using a rolling pin. Transfer the pastry to the dish and trim the edge of the pie to form a rim.
4. Add the Filling: Pour the peach filling into the prepared pie crust, spreading it evenly.
5. Create the Lattice Top: Roll out the remaining portion of dough and cut it into 1-inch strips of dough using a pizza cutter. Arrange five strips over the pie filling in one direction, then add five more strips in the opposite direction, weaving them over and under to form a lattice pattern. Crimp together with a fork.
6. Bake and Serve: Preheat your oven to 320°F (160°C) and bake the pie for approximately 35 minutes, or until the lattice top turns golden brown. Allow the pie to cool completely before serving. For an extra touch, brush the lattice top with an egg wash before baking to achieve a beautiful glaze.
Variations
– For a sweeter pie, you can use honey or add extra sugar to the peach filling.
– Serve the pie with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for a delightful contrast of flavors.

Common Questions about Peach Lattice Pie
