2 tbsp. lemon juice
2/3 c. sugar
1/3 c. all-purpose flour

Line a 9 inch pie plate with bottom pastry; trim even with edge of plate. Set aside. In a bowl, toss the peaches with lemon juice. Combine the sugar, flour, salt and nutmeg; add to the peaches and toss to combine. Pour into crust. Sprinkle with red-hots; dot with butter. Roll out remaining pastry to fit top of pie. Place over filling; trim seal and flute edges. Cut slits in top. Cover edges loosely with foil.
