- 1 pie crust (homemade or store-bought)
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon milk or cream (for brushing)

- Make the Filling: Peel and slice peaches, toss with sugar, flour, and cinnamon, and let it sit for a few minutes.
