Ingredients
  

  • 2 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
  • 1 pinch salt
  • 1 ½ sticks cold halal butter
  • 6 medium peaches (3 1/2 cups sliced, fully ripe but firm)
  • ¼ cup honey (substitute maple syrup for vegan)
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar (adjust based on peach sweetness)
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour (unbleached flour works best)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 egg (for egg wash) + 1 tablespoon water (room temperature)

Method
 

  1. In a large bowl, mix 2 3/4 cups flour, 1 tablespoon sugar, and a pinch of salt.
  2. Gradually add the cold halal butter, blending until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  3. Press half the dough into a 9-inch pie dish. Chill the remaining dough for the top crust.
  4. Peel and slice the peaches, then toss with 2 tablespoons flour until fully coated.
  5. In a large bowl, mix the floured peaches with honey, sugar, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Let rest for 15 minutes while preparing the crust lid.
  6. Roll out the remaining dough to 1/4-inch thickness. Place over the filling and crimp edges to seal.
  7. Chill the pie for at least 30 minutes before baking.
  8. Brush the top with the room-temperature egg wash for a golden crust.
  9. Bake at 375°F (190°C) for 45 minutes, or until golden and bubbly.

Notes

Chill the pie crust before baking for a flaky texture.
Roll the lid dough 1/4 inch thick to create a crackled top.
Use ripe but firm peaches for the best flavor and structure.
For vegan version, use maple syrup instead of honey.
