Directions

Step 1
Pre-heat oven to 375°F For filling: In a large bowl, mix peaches, sugar, lemon juice and salt together. Sprinkle cornstarch over and combine. Set aside. For crust: Whisk together flour, salt and sugar in food processor or mixer. Add the cold butter and mix briefly until dough resembles coarse meal. While the machine is running, add the ice water slowly just until the dough holds together. Careful not to mix for more than 30 seconds. Set dough in fridge for about 10 minutes. The idea is to keep the butter pieces from completely melting into the dough. Remove dough and, working quickly, roll out on floured surface until you've achieved a 13-14 inch round. Transfer onto a baking pan lined with parchment paper.
Assemble
Step 2
Place filling in center of crust, leaving a 2-inch rim. Fold rim up slightly over the filling. Bake in 375°F oven for approximately an hour to 70 minutes. If areas of the crust start to get too brown, cover with tin foil until baking is complete.
