Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Prepare the crust by making or using your favorite pie crust recipe. Chill the dough for at least 2 hours.
  2. While dough chills, peel and cube the peaches into 1-inch pieces.
  3. In a mixing bowl, combine peaches with lemon/lime juice, sugar, tapioca starch, vanilla extract, and smoked paprika.
  4. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
  5. Roll out one dough disc in a pie dish, spoon in peach filling, and pour juices over the top.
  6. Roll out the second dough disc, cut into strips, and weave over the top of the pie.
  7. Beat egg yolk with milk for egg wash. Brush on the lattice crust and sprinkle with sugar.
  8. Bake for 40-50 minutes, covering with foil if crust browns too quickly.
  9. Remove from oven and let cool for 2-3 hours before serving.
