Instructions
In a large bowl (or food processor), mix flour, sugar and salt. Cut in cold butter until crumbly. Combine milk and egg yolk, gradually add to flour mixture, tossing with a fork until dough holds together when pressed. Shape into a disc, cover and refrigerate for at least one hour or overnight.
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. On a lightly floured surface, roll dough to a 13-inch circle. Transfer to a parchment lined baking sheet or pizza pan. Refrigerate covered until filling is prepared.
Combine peaches and next 5 ingredients in a medium bowl. Arrange peaches over the crust to within 1 1/2 inches of the edge. Fold crust edge over filling, leaving an opening in center. Brush beaten egg over folded crust, sprinkle with demerara sugar.
Bake until crust is golden and filling is bubbly, about 5-55 minutes. Transfer pie to a wire rack to cool for 10 minutes before cutting. Serve with ice cream if desired.

Notes
Christine Kropp of London, Ontario contributed this recipe to Taste of Home. I followed the recipe and it made a lovely dessert that I took to a dinner party. To make it even easier, I used my food processor to make the pie crust. Simply pulse the dough ingredients until it comes together into a solid ball. No mixing by hand required.
