Original recipe (1X) yields 18 servings

Crust:

2 ½ cups all-purpose flour

4 tablespoons white sugar, divided

1 teaspoon salt

1 cup shortening

1 large egg

¼ cup cold water

1 tablespoon butter, melted

Filling:

3 pounds fresh peaches – peeled, pitted, and sliced

¾ cup orange juice

¼ cup lemon juice

½ cup butter

2 cups white sugar

1 tablespoon cornstarch

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

½ teaspoon ground nutmeg

Directions

Gather the ingredients.

Make crust: Sift together flour, 3 tablespoons sugar, and salt in a medium bowl. Work in shortening with a pastry blender until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Whisk together egg and cold water in a small bowl. Sprinkle over flour mixture; work with hands to form dough into a ball. Wrap with plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Roll out 1/2 of the chilled dough to 1/8-inch thickness. Place in a 9×13-inch baking dish, covering the bottom and halfway up the sides. Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, about 20 minutes.

Make filling: Mix peaches, orange juice, and lemon juice in a large saucepan. Add butter and cook over medium-low heat until butter is melted. Stir together sugar, cornstarch, cinnamon, and nutmeg in a bowl; mix into peach mixture until combined. Pour into baked crust.

Roll remaining dough to 1/4-inch thickness. Cut into 1/2-inch-wide strips. Weave strips into a lattice over peaches. Sprinkle with 1 tablespoon sugar, then drizzle with melted butter.

Bake in the preheated oven until top crust is golden brown, 35 to 40 minutes.
