Method

  1. Cook 1 pound of peaches, peeled and cut into ¼ pieces, with ⅓ cup of granulated sugar, 1 teaspoon of finely grated lemon zest, 1 teaspoon of fresh lemon juice, and ½ teaspoon of salt in a medium saucepan over medium-low heat. Stir occasionally with a heatproof rubber spatula until the peaches are softened, the juices thicken, and the mixture resembles a chunky jam. This process should take about 45-60 minutes. Allow the mixture to cool.

  2. The filling can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to 1 week. Just cover and chill.

  3. While the peaches are cooking, whisk together 2 teaspoons of granulated sugar, 1 teaspoon of salt, and 2½ cups of all-purpose flour in a large bowl until well combined. Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, work in ½ cup of chilled unsalted butter (cut into 1 pieces) until the largest pieces are pea-sized. Alternatively, you can pulse the dry ingredients in a food processor and then pulse in the butter.

  4. Sprinkle 2 tablespoons of apple cider vinegar over the mixture and mix with your hands until the dough just comes together in a shaggy mass. Drizzle ¼ cup plus 3 tablespoons of ice water over the dough and continue mixing by hand until it forms a cohesive ball.

  5. Place the dough on a lightly floured surface
