Ingredients

1 Pastry for double-crust pie (9 inches)
6 cups sliced peeled fresh peaches
2 tablespoons lemon juice
2/3 cup sugar
1/3 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 dash ground nutmeg
3 tablespoons red-hot candies
2 tablespoons butter or margarine

Directions

Line a 9-in. pie plate with bottom pastry; trim even with edge of plate. Set aside.
In a bowl, toss the peaches with lemon juice. Combine the sugar, flour, salt and nutmeg; add to peaches and toss to combine. Pour into crust. Sprinkle with red-hots; dot with butter. Roll out remaining pastry to fit top of pie. Place over filling. Trim, seal and flute edges. Cut slits in top. Cover edges loosely with foil. Bake at 425 degrees F for 25 minutes. Reduce heat to 350 degrees F; remove foil and bake 20 minutes longer or until crust is golden brown and filling is bubbly. Cool on a wire rack.
