INGREDIENTS

• 1 9-inch Single-crust Nut Egg Pastry (search recipes)
• 5 cups peeled, sliced freestone peaches (5 to 6 large peaches)
• 1/2 to 3/4 cup granulated sugar
• 2 1/2 to 3 tablespoons cornstarch
• Dash ground nutmeg
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 1/8 teaspoon almond extract
• 1 egg white, lightly beaten (optional)
• 1/3 cup light brown sugar
• 1/2 cup flour
• 6 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 1 cup chopped nuts (mixture of almonds and pecans)

DIRECTIONS

• Preheat oven to 425°F. Line a 9-inch pie plate with Nut Egg Pastry. To make the peaches easier to peel, dip them in boiling water, then in cold water. In a large bowl combine sliced peaches, 1/2 to % cup granulated sugar (depending on ripeness of peaches), cornstarch, and nutmeg. Allow to stand 15 minutes.
• Stir in lemon juice and almond extract. Lightly brush uncooked pie shell with a thin layer of egg white (if used) to moisture proof pie crust. Pour filling into pie shell.
• Mix brown sugar with flour; cut in butter until crumbly. Stir in nuts. Sprinkle mixture over peaches.
• Bake for 15 minutes. Reduce oven to 400°F and continue baking for 35 to 40 minutes. Cover edges of crust with strips of foil, if necessary, to prevent excessive browning.
