Ingredients

1 tablespoon unsalted butter, melted, or as needed
1 tablespoon quick-mixing flour (such as Wondra®), or more as needed
1 (15 ounce) package pastry for a double-crust 9-inch pie, at room temperature
4 cups frozen unsweetened peach slices, thawed
1/3 cup quick-mixing flour (such as Wondra®)
3/4 cup white sugar
2 teaspoons powdered fruit pectin
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon salt
4 teaspoons unsalted butter, cut into small pieces

Directions

1 Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Coat a 9-inch pie pan with 1/2 tablespoon melted butter and dust completely with 1 tablespoon flour; shake off the excess.
2 Line the bottom and sides of the pie pan with 1 pie crust. Poke the bottom and sides of the dough with a fork to provide venting. Brush the edges of the crust with remaining melted butter.
3 Place sliced peaches in a large bowl and pour off excess liquid.
4 Mix 1/3 cup flour, sugar, pectin, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt together in a separate bowl. Pour over the peaches and mix gently.
5 Pour into the pie crust, and dot with 4 teaspoons butter. Cover with the second pie crust and fold the edges under. Flute the edges to seal or press the edges with the tines of a fork. Poke the top crust gently with a fork 6 or so times and cut a modest center hole to vent steam. Cover the edges of the pie with strips of aluminum foil to prevent excess browning or burning.
6 Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes. Reduce the heat to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) and bake until crust is brown and the juice begins to bubble through the vents, 40 to 45 minutes more. Cool before serving.
