Add flour, salt, sugar, and cinnamon to a food processor. Pulse a few times to combine.
Add in butter and shortening. Blend for 10-20 seconds until you have coarse crumbs.
With the processor on low, slowly pour in the ice-cold water. Blend just until the crust comes together.
Add 2 tbsp of flour to a surface. Turn the dough out onto the surface and knead a few times.
Divide the dough into two discs. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate one disc for 30 minutes. Freeze the other disc for future use (you will only need one for this recipe).
Peach Filling
Add all the filling ingredients to a large bowl and toss to coat.
Assemble and Bake
Preheat the oven to 400°F.
Spray a 9×9-inch baking dish with non-stick cooking spray and add the peach filling.
Roll the refrigerated dough out on a floured surface into a square large enough to cover the peach filling.
Place the dough on top of the filling and make an X in the middle to allow steam to escape.
In a small bowl, whisk together the egg yolk and milk. Brush the dough with this mixture and sprinkle sugar over the top.
Place the dish on the middle rack of the oven and bake for 40-45 minutes.
Let the pie rest for 5 minutes before serving with ice cream or whipped cream.
