Add fresh lemon juice to your filling for a zesty kick and to balance the sweetness of the peaches.

For a perfect crust, use cold butter and handle the dough as little as possible. This ensures a light, flaky texture.

Brush the top crust with egg wash and sprinkle with sugar. This gives the pie a golden, crispy finish.

Bake your pie on a lower oven rack to ensure the bottom crust bakes thoroughly and doesn't become soggy.

Allow your pie to cool completely before slicing. This helps the filling set and makes for cleaner slices.
