Crust
2 1/3 cups all purpose flour
1 tablespoon sugar
1 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup (1 1/2 stick) chilled unsalted butter, cut into
pieces
1/4 cup chilled solid vegetable shortening, cut into pieces
1 teaspoon distilled white vinegar
6 tablespoons (about) ice water
Filling:
5 pounds medium peaches, peeled, pitted, sliced
3/4 cup sugar
1/4 cup all purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/8 teaspoon ground cardamom
1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
Vanilla ice cream
For crust:
Combine flour, sugar and salt in large bowl. Add butter and
shortening; using fingertips, rub in until mixture
resembles coarse meal. Add vinegar. Using fork, mix in
enough water to form moist clumps. Gather dough into ball;
divide dough into 2 equal portions. Flatten each portion
into disk. Wrap each in plastic; chill 45 minutes. (Can be
made 2 days ahead. Keep refrigerated. Soften slightly at
room temperature before rolling out.)
For filling:
Preheat oven to 400 degrees Combine peaches, sugar, flour
and spices in large bowl; toss to mix well.
Roll out 1 dough disk on floured surface to 13-inch round. Transfer to 9-inch-diameter glass pie plate. Transfer peaches to crust, mounding in center. Roll out second dough disk to 13-inch round. Roll up dough on rolling pin and unroll atop peaches. Trim edges of both crusts to 3/4-inch overhang. Fold edges over; press to seal. Crimp edges. Cut 6 slits in top crust to allow steam to escape.
Bake pie until crust is golden and juices bubble thickly
through slits, covering edges of crust with foil if
browning too quickly, about 1 hour 10 minutes. Cool pie 3
hours. Serve with ice cream.
