Step 1

Preheat oven. Preheat your oven to 400°F / 200°C / gas mark 6.

Step 2

Prep pie crust. Prepare the bottom crust by placing the bottom crust into a deep-dish 9-in / 23 cm pie plate. Don't crimp or flute the edges for now. Brush the bottom with a little egg white to protect the dough from becoming soggy later. Set aside.

Step 3

Mix peach filling. Combine the peaches, sugar, cornstarch, vanilla extract, cinnamon, lemon juice, and lemon zest in a large mixing bowl. Gently stir so that all of the peaches are coated with the sugar-cornstarch mixture.

Step 4

Fill crust. Pour the peach pie filling into the prepared bottom crust.

Step 5

Create lattice top. Use the other pie crust to arrange a lattice topping on top of the pie. Use a pastry wheel to cut the rolled-out crust into strips. Then thread the strips together, going over and under, to create the pattern. Trim the strips as needed once the lattice is on the pie. Finally, use the bottom crust edges to seal the lattice. Press the edges with the tines of a fork or flute/crimp as desired.

Step 6

Egg wash. Mix the egg and milk until smooth. Then lightly brush over the lattice crust and sprinkle with brown sugar.

Step 7

Bake pie. Bake the pie for 20 minutes at 400°F / 200°C / gas mark Then reduce the heat to 350°F / 180° / gas mark 4 and continue baking the pie for an additional 25 to 35 minutes. You want the crust to brown and the filling bubbling through the lattice to be sure the cornstarch has been activated.Tip: If the edges of the crust brown too quickly, cover the pie with a pie shield or strips of aluminum foil halfway through baking.

Step 8

Cool & chill. Remove the canned peach pie from the oven and let cool at room temperature for the filling to thicken, for at least 4 hours. The longer the pie sits, the thicker the fruit filling will be. Refrigerate the pie until ready to serve.

Step 9

Serve. Cut the pie into slices and serve with ice cream, whipped cream, or caramel sauce. You can eat peach pie cold, at room temperature, or warm. Enjoy!

Step 10

Store. Store leftovers well covered and refrigerated and enjoy it within 4 to 5 days. If you'd like to rewarm it, heat a slice in the microwave for 15 to 20 seconds.
