Ingredients
for the crust
  • 1⅓ cups flour
  • ⅛ teaspoon salt
  • 1 stick cold butter, cut into cubes
  • 4 Tablespoons ice water
  • coarse sugar for sprinkling
  • milk or cream for brushing on the crust
for the peach filling
  • ½ cup sugar
  • 1 Tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1 Tablespoon minute tapioca
  • ½ teaspoon cinnamon
  • a pinch of nutmeg
  • a pinch of salt
  • 3 heaping cups each of fresh peach slices, peeled
Instructions
  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F.
  2. To make the crust, pulse flour and salt in the bowl of a food processor until combined. Add butter chunks and pulse just until butter is in pea-sized clumps. Slowly add cold water and run food processor just until dough comes together in one mass. Shape the dough into a flat disk, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for 1 hour.
  3. To make the filling, combine sugar, cornstarch, tapioca, spice, and salt in a large bowl. Add peaches and toss to coat; set aside.
  4. Place dough on a well-floured surface and roll into a large circle ⅛″ thick. Transfer the dough to a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  5. Spoon the filling into the middle of the dough. Fold one section of the dough towards the middle of the filling, being sure not to cover the filling completely. Continue folding the dough toward the center until all of the dough has been folded in, and the filling is safely held in. Brush the top of the crust with milk or cream, and sprinkle with coarse sugar. Bake for 20-30 minutes or until the crust is golden and the filling is bubbling. Remove from oven and place on a cooling rack to cool completely. Cut into wedges to serve.
