Instructions
- Step 1: In a food processor, pulse 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour, 3 tbsp granulated sugar, 1 tsp ground cinnamon, and 1/4 tsp salt until combined.
- Step 2: Add 6 tbsp cold unsalted butter cut into cubes and pulse until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Step 3: Gradually add 3-4 tbsp ice water, pulsing until the dough just clumps together. Form into a disk, wrap in plastic, and chill for 30 minutes.
- Step 4: Preheat oven to 375°F. Peel, pit, and slice 3 medium ripe peaches into 1/4-inch wedges.
- Step 5: In a bowl, toss the peach slices with 2 tbsp brown sugar, 1 tbsp cornstarch, and 1 tbsp lemon juice until evenly coated.
- Step 6: On a floured surface, roll the dough into a 12-inch circle and transfer to a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Step 7: Arrange the peach slices in the center of the dough, leaving a 2-inch border. Fold the edges over the peaches, pleating as needed.
- Step 8: Beat 1 large egg and brush over the exposed dough crust, then sprinkle 1 tbsp turbinado sugar on top.
- Step 9: Bake for 40-45 minutes until the crust is golden and the peaches are bubbly. Let cool slightly before serving.
