Ingredients

all-purpose flour
8 ripe but firm yellow peaches
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup packed light or dark brown sugar
1/4 tsp. ground cinnamon
1/4 tsp. freshly grated nutmeg
1 tsp. fresh lemon juice
2 tsp. amaretto liqueur
1 Tbsp. cornstarch
1 pinch table salt
1 large egg
1 Tbsp. water
1 Tbsp. coarse or granulated sugar

Directions

1. Step 1Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Line 2 rimmed baking sheets with parchment paper.
2. Step 2Lightly dust work surface and rolling pin with flour; swirl 1 dough rectangle to lightly coat bottom (be sure dough can move while being rolled out). Roll dough rectangle from center out; rotate 1/4 turn and roll again. Keep rolling and turning until it forms a 13" by 9" rectangle, lightly flouring surface and top of dough repeatedly (use just enough flour to keep dough from sticking, but don't over-flour). Transfer dough to 1 baking sheet; refrigerate.
3. Step 3Repeat rolling out with other piece of dough; place on second baking sheet and bake until golden brown, about 20 min. Cool completely on sheet on wire rack. Meanwhile, turn oven down to 375 degrees F.
4. Step 4While dough is cooling, make filling: On another rimmed baking sheet or in shallow baking dish, combine peaches, sugars, cinnamon, nutmeg, lemon juice, amaretto, cornstarch, and salt, tossing until well mixed. Roast in oven until fruit releases its juices, about 20 minutes.
5. Step 5In small bowl, beat egg with water. Transfer cooled baked crust to shallow 13" by 9" baking dish; spread hot peach filling evenly over it. Top with chilled unbaked dough, brush with egg wash and sprinkle with coarse sugar.
6. Step 6Bake until crust is golden and fruit is bubbling, about 1 hour 20 minutes. Let cool slightly and serve warm with ice cream or sweetened whipped cream.
