Single Crust Pie Dough
  • 1½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • ½ cup cold unsalted butter, cubed
  • ⅓ cup ice water, plus more as needed
Instructions
  1. In a medium saucepan, combine peaches, sugar, butter, lemon juice, and vanilla. Add cornstarch, salt, and cinnamon; stir to combine. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Cook, stirring occasionally, until mixture has thickened, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from heat, and let cool completely.
  2. Preheat oven to 375°. Lightly grease an 8-inch square baking dish with baking spray with flour. Pour peach filling into prepared baking dish, spreading evenly in dish.
  3. On a lightly floured surface, roll Single Crust Pie Dough out to ⅛-inch thickness. Cut into 10 (1-inch) strips. Place 5 dough strips horizontally over filling, spacing evenly apart. Fold back alternating strips and place one dough strip vertically across horizontal strips; unfold folded strips. Fold back alternating horizontal strips, and place another vertical strip across first strips, spacing evenly. Unfold horizontal folded strips, then fold back center or alternating horizontal strip(s). Place another vertical strip across first strips, spacing evenly. Unfold horizontal folded strip(s). Repeat with remaining strips. Trim dough strips, fold edges under, and crimp, if desired.
  4. In a small bowl, whisk together egg and 1 tablespoon water. Lightly brush egg wash over crust; sprinkle extra sugar on top of crust. Bake until crust is golden and filling is bubbly, about 30 minutes. Let cool for at least 20 minutes before serving.
Single Crust Pie Dough
  1. In the work bowl of a food processor, mix together flour, sugar, and salt. Add butter and pulse until mixture is crumbly and butter is pea sized. With the processor running, slowly add ⅓ cup ice water in a steady stream; mix until dough just comes together.
  2. Turn out dough onto a clean surface and shape into a disk. Wrap in plastic wrap and let rest in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours. Dough can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks or in the freezer for up to 3 months.
