Method

  1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C) and lightly grease a 9-inch pie dish with butter.

  2. Press one pie crust into the prepared pie dish.

  3. In a bowl, combine sugar, flour, cornstarch, cinnamon, cardamom, and allspice. Slowly mix in the butter until fully incorporated.

  4. In a separate bowl, toss peaches and rum together. Add the sugar mixture to the peaches and gently toss to coat.

  5. Pour the peach mixture into the pie crust. Top with the remaining pie crust and seal the edges together. Cut 4 to 5 slits in the top crust for ventilation. Brush with milk.

  6. Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes. Then, lower the heat to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) and bake for an additional 30 minutes or until the top crust is golden brown.

  7. Turn off the oven and allow the pie to rest in the oven as it cools, for at least 1 hour.
