GEORGIA WHITE PEACH PIE

Steps:

• First preheat your oven to 425 degrees! Make sure your pastry dough is room temp and ready to go.
• In a large bowl combine your sugar, flour and nutmeg. Add in your peeled & sliced peaches and gently stir to coat all of your peaches. I use my hands, this way you can tell what needs a little more attention. I also use firm peaches. They will soften up just right!!
• Place one pasty sheet in the bottom of your pie dish. Cut up your butter into small pieces and place them all over the bottom of your pasty.
• Pour all of your peach mixture on top of the butter in the pie dish. Spread it out to evenly distribute. Take your second pastry sheet and place on top making sure to crimp the top edges with the bottom edges. Don't forget to make a few vent holes in the top of the upper crust.
• Cover the top of the crust with a tablespoon of sugar, just sprinkle it evenly over the top.
• Bake for 45 minutes. You can cover your edges with a little foil or a ring, depends on your oven and how you like your edges. I usually leave mine on for most of the baking cycle.
