oven-baked peach pie

#### 4. **Bake the Pie:**
– Brush the top crust with a light coating of heavy cream or milk to give it a golden shine when baked.
– Sprinkle a tablespoon of coarse sugar over the top crust for a sweet, crunchy finish.
– Place the pie on a baking sheet to catch any drips and bake in the preheated oven for 45-55 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.
– If the edges of the crust begin to brown too quickly, cover them with aluminum foil or a pie shield to prevent burning.

#### 5. **Cool and Serve:**
– Once the pie is done, remove it from the oven and allow it to cool for at least an hour before slicing. This helps the filling set and makes the pie easier to cut.
– Serve warm or at room temperature with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for an extra indulgent treat.

### Tips for Perfect Oven-Baked Peach Pie

1. **Choose Ripe Peaches:**
For the best flavor, choose ripe peaches that are sweet and juicy. If peaches are out of season, you can use frozen peaches, but make sure to thaw and drain them before using.
