Ingredients

Ingredients

  • 2--9 " pie shells unbaked
  • 5-6 cups fresh peaches sliced
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 3 tablespoons maple syrup
  • 2 tablespoons bourbon optional but tasty
  • 3 tablespoons tapioca can use cornstarch
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 teaspoons cinnamon
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla bean extract
  • 2-3 tablespoons brown butter or regular salted butter cut into small pieces
  • egg wash 1 egg mixed with a tsp warm water and dash of salt

Instructions

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350F and get your bottom pie shell ready, or roll out your favourite pastry dough to fill a 9" pie pan. Use the other shell or pie dough to make a full top, lattice or shapes.

  2. In a large bowl, combine peaches, brown sugar, maple syrup, bourbon, starch, salt and cinnamon. Mix and allow to sit for a few minutes.

  3. Add vanilla bean extract and mix well. Sprinkle butter pieces into the mix and combine gently. Ladle the filling and spoon into pie crust.
  4. Add lattice top, full shell (cut slits if using top crust to allow steam to escape) or your favourite shapes on top and place pie on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  5. Brush egg wash on pastry and bake for about an hour, until pie is bubbling ( a sign that the tapioca has fully cooked and thickened in the pie). Allow to cool for a few hours, at least, before slicing (if you cut into it too soon it'll be more like peach soup!). This pie is amazing with vanilla ice cream, just saying. Enjoy! :D
