Ingredients:  
2½ c. flour
3 tbsp. sugar
1 tsp. salt
1 c. shortening
1 egg
¼ c. cold water
3 lb. fresh peaches – peeled, pitted, and sliced
¼ c. lemon juice

Directions:
Directions:
In a medium bowl, sift together the flour, 3 tablespoons sugar, and salt. Work in the shortening with a pastry blender until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and cold water. Sprinkle over flour mixture, and work with hands to form dough into a ball. Chill 30 minutes. Preheat oven to 350˚F. Roll out half of dough to ⅛ inch thickness. Place in a 9 x 13 inch baking dish, covering bottom and halfway up sides. Bake for 20 minutes, or until golden brown. In a large saucepan, mix the peaches, lemon juice, and orange juice. Add 1/2 cup butter, and cook over medium-low heat until butter is melted. In a mixing bowl, stir together 2 cups sugar, nutmeg, cinnamon, and cornstarch; mix into peach mixture. Remove from heat, and pour into a baked crust. Roll remaining dough to a thickness of ¼ inch. Cut into half-inch-wide strips. Weave strips into a lattice over peaches. Sprinkle with 1 tablespoon sugar, and drizzle with 1 tablespoon melted butter. Bake in preheated oven for 35 to 40 minutes, or until top crust is golden brown.
