INGREDIENTS
· 1 (15 ounce) package pastry for a 9 inch double crust pie
· 1 egg, beaten
· 5 cups sliced peeled peaches about 10 peaches
1/4 teaspoon vanilla
· 1 tablespoon lemon juice
· 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup of brown sugar
· 1 cup white sugar
· 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
· 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
· 1/4 teaspoon salt
· 2 tablespoons butter

DIRECTIONS
Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F (220 degrees C).
Boil peahces for about 1 minute and then dun into cold water and peel of skin. cut them in half, remove pit and slice into pieces.
Line the bottom and sides of a 9 inch pie plate with one of the pie crusts. Brush with some of the beaten egg to keep the dough from becoming soggy later.
Place the sliced peaches in a large bowl, and sprinkle with lemon juice and vanilla. Mix gently. In a separate bowl, mix together the flour,3/4 cup sugar, 1/4 cup brown sugar,1/2 teaspoon cinnamon, nutmeg and salt. Pour over the peaches, and mix gently. Pour into the pie crust, and dot with butter. Cut out heart and star shapes with remaining pie crust cover peaches so there are still a few showing through seal or press the edges(we had more extra so we made some fun personalized letters) . Brush the remaining egg over the top of the crust. Sprinkle with remaining sugar, brown sugar and cinnamon.
Bake for 10 minutes in the preheated oven, then reduce the heat to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) and bake for an additional 30 to 35 minutes, until the crust is brown and the juice begins to bubble through the vents. If the edges brown to fast, cover them with strips of aluminum foil about halfway through baking. Cool before serving. This tastes better warm than hot.

Serve with Vanilla Ice Cream and Enjoy!!
