Ingredients

Crust

2 cup flour
1 teaspoon salt
⅔ cup shortening
3 Tbsp. butter
2 teaspoons vegetable oil
⅓ cup buttermilk or ⅓ c. milk + 1 teaspoon lemon juice

Crust Dust

1 tablespoon flour
1 tablespoon sugar

Filling

6 cups peaches peeled and sliced
⅔ cup sugar
⅓ cup flour
½ teaspoon cinnamon
1 Tbsp. lemon juice
1 tablespoon butter cut into small pieces

Egg Wash

1 egg
1 tablespoon water
sugar to sprinkle on pie

Instructions

Mix flour and salt in a bowl. Cut in shortening using a pastry cutter. Cut in butter.
Add oil and milk and stir until a soft dough forms.
Cut dough in half. Wrap one half in plastic wrap and set aside.
Roll the other half and place into a pie pan.
Combine crust dust ingredients together (1 Tbsp. flour and 1 Tbsp. sugar) in a small bowl and sprinkle over the bottom pie crust BEFORE adding the filling.
Combine peaches, sugar, flour, cinnamon and lemon juice. Pour into pie crust. Dot with butter.
Roll out second pie crust and place on top.
Cut off excess pie crust using a knife and crimp/pinch the edges.
Cut 3-4 slits in pie crust for venting.
Mix egg and water together. Brush over pie crust. Sprinkle top of pie with sugar.
Bake 60-70 minutes at 425 degrees. Tent pie with foil after it begins to brown (around 30 minutes) to prevent excess browning.
Cool on cooling rack at least 2 hours to allow peach filling to thicken.

Notes

If you don't have buttermilk, you can substitute milk + 1 teaspoon lemon juice. Just pour the lemon juice into the milk, and it will thicken slightly like buttermilk.

Bake pie in the lower ⅓ of the oven on a pizza stone (if you have one). Remember to bake the full amount of time and until the filling is bubbling. If the crust begins to brown too quickly, tent with foil while baking.
