Makes two 9 inch pie crusts

Nectarine Pie Filling:

1 egg,beaten
3 lbs,sliced,peeled fresh nectarines 
1 Tablespoon lemon juice
1/3 cup all purpose flour
1/4 cup cornstarch
1 cup white sugar
1/4 cup brown sugar
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 Tablespoons cold butter

Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 450 degrees 
2. In a large bowl combine the sliced nectarines and lemon juice, gently toss together. Combine the flour, cornstarch, sugars, cinnamon and salt and mix. Then pour over the peaches and gently toss them together. Place mixture in a colander to drain. This will eliminate some of the juice so your pie won't be soupy. Drain peaches for 30 minutes and place drained peaches in a large bowl.
3. Roll out pie dough into 9 inch pie pan.  Brush the pie crust (bottom and sides) with a little of the beaten egg. This will help the crust to stay flaky and keeps the crust from getting soggy. Keep the rest of the beaten egg to brush on the top crust.
4. Use a fork and poke the bottom and sides of the pie crust. This will help release some of the moisture and help the crust stay golden and flaky.
5. Add 2 TBP of cornstarch over the nectarine filling and toss gently then pour peaches into the bottom pie crust and dot with butter. Place the top crust over the nectarines.
6. Brush with the rest of the beaten egg and make some slits on top of the pie crust to vent steam.
7. Sprinkle sugar on top of the crust for decoration if you like.

Place pie on a baking sheet to make sure the filling doesn’t spill over and cause a mess in your oven.

Bake the pie at 450 degrees for 10 minutes, reduce heat to 350 degrees. Bake and additional 60 minutes until crust is brown and juices bubble up through the slits. 

Wait 2-3 hours before slicing the pie to allow the pie filling to firm up otherwise you will have soupy pie.

Enjoy!!!!
