Instructions
On a lightly floured surface, roll one half of the dough into a ⅛ inch thick circle large enough to fit into the bottom of a 9 inch pie plate. Transfer to the pie plate. Trim the edges of the crust. Crimp the dough to make it look pretty.
Refrigerate while you prepare the filling.
In a large bowl, mix sugar, flour and cinnamon. Stir in the peaches and lemon juice.
Add the filling to the chilled pie crust and place back into the refrigerator to chill.
Prepare the Crumb Topping
Place all the ingredients for the walnut crumb topping, except the walnuts, into a large bowl. Using a pastry blender cut in the butter until crumbly just as you would when making an apple crisp.
Once everything is combined, stir in the walnuts using a wooden spoon.
Remove the peach pie from the refrigerator
Add the Walnut Crumb Topping to the top of the peaches.
Baking Instructions
Preheat the oven to 400°F.
Chill the assembled pie in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
Place the oven rack in the bottom third of the oven. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil to catch any pie leakage.
Bake the pie in the bottom third of the oven for about 45 minutes to an hour or until the filling is bubbling in the center.
Cover entire pie loosely with foil if the crust is getting too brown.
Notes
Allow the pie to cool slightly before slicing.
If you slice it too soon, the juices could still be slightly watery.
You need the pie to set a little for the juices to thicken.
Serve with either homemade vanilla ice cream or homemade whipped cream.
