Instructions:

  1. Make the Pie Dough: Combine flour and salt. Cut in butter and shortening until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Gradually add ice water until dough just comes together. Flatten into a disc, wrap in plastic wrap, and chill.
  2. Prepare the Peach Filling: Gently toss peach slices with sugar, flour, lemon juice, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
  3. Assemble the Pie: Roll out dough on a lightly floured surface. Transfer to the pie plate. Trim and crimp the edges.
  4. Add Filling: Arrange peach mixture in the pie crust. Dot with butter pieces.
  5. Bake: Bake in a preheated oven until crust is golden brown and filling is bubbly.
  6. Make the Dream Cream: While pie cools, whip heavy cream with sugar, vanilla, and salt until soft peaks form.
  7. Assemble Final Pie: Spread or pipe whipped cream over cooled pie.
  8. Chill (Optional): Chill the pie for at least 30 minutes to allow the cream to set slightly. Slice and Serve.
