Instructions

Prepare the pie crust according to the instructions found here: https://grandbaby-cakes.com/perfect-pie-crust-recipe/.
In a large bowl, combine the sliced peaches with lemon zest and juice, brown sugar, granulated sugar (adjust for sweetness), cinnamon, kosher salt, nutmeg, ginger (if using), and vanilla extract.
Toss the mixture until all the peaches are well coated. Then, add cornstarch (or all-purpose flour) and mix gently to combine.
Pour the peach mixture into the prepared pie crust. Dot the top with small slices of unsalted butter.
Cover with another pie crust if desired and crimp the edges to seal. Brush the top with the egg wash.
Sprinkle raw sugar on top for garnish before baking.
Bake in a preheated oven at 425°F (220°C) for approximately 45-50 minutes or until the filling is bubbly and the crust is golden brown.

Notes

Ensure peaches are at peak ripeness for the best flavor.
Adjust sugar based on the natural sweetness of the peaches used.
Let the pie cool for a while before slicing to allow the filling to set.
