This pie is the best of both worlds! We use canned or frozen peaches (hello, easy button!) so you get that sweet summer flavor, but we wrap it up in warm, cozy fall spices. And the total showstopper? A super simple, sophisticated Bourbon Whipped Cream. It adds a cozy, grown-up finish that’ll have everyone asking for the recipe.

Instructions
Prep the Pie
Preheat your oven to a hot 425°F (220°C). Line your pie dish with one crust.
In the big bowl, toss the peaches, sugar, flour, lemon juice, cinnamon, and nutmeg until all the fruit is coated.
Pour that gorgeous fruit mixture into the crust.
Top & Bake
Unroll the second crust and put it on top (or impress your friends and make a lattice!). Crimp those edges. Brush the top with the egg wash if you’re feeling fancy and sprinkle some sugar on.
Bake for 15 minutes at 425°F. Then, lower the heat to 375°F (190°C) and bake for another 35-45 minutes.
Let the pie cool for at least 2 hours. Seriously, don't cheat this part—the filling needs to set!
Make the Boozy Whipped Cream
In the small bowl, use your electric mixer on high speed to beat the cold heavy cream.
When soft peaks start to form, slowly add the powdered sugar, vanilla, and the bourbon.
Keep beating until you get stiff peaks. Dollop this generously on your slice of pie!
Notes
You have to let fruit pies cool all the way before cutting! If you cut it too soon, the filling will run out, and you'll cry. Patience, my friend, is a virtue here.
