- 4 tsp. cornstarch
- 1/3 c. sugar
- 2 lb. ripe peaches
- .13 tsp. salt
- 1 tbsp. fresh lemon juice
- 2 package refrigerated unbaked piecrusts (4 crusts for 9-inch pies)
- 1 large egg
Instructions
- In nonstick 12-inch skillet, melt butter over medium heat. In cup, mix cornstarch with 1/3 cup sugar. Stir peaches, sugar mixture, and salt into butter in skillet.

Fold dough over filling. With fork, press edges together to seal. Transfer pies to ungreased cookie sheet. Repeat with remaining dough and filling, placing 8 pies on each of 2 cookie sheets.
- Brush tops of pies with egg; sprinkle with remaining sugar. With knife, cut 1-inch slit in top of each pie to allow steam to escape during baking.
- Place cookie sheets on 2 oven racks. Bake 18 to 20 minutes or until golden brown, rotating cookie sheets between upper and lower oven racks halfway through baking. Transfer pies to wire racks to cool.
