Instructions
Make the Crust!
To make the pie crust, whisk flour, sugar, and salt in a large bowl.
Cut in cold butter and shortening until crumbly, using a pastry cutter.
Stir in the cold water until a dough forms.
Place the dough on a floured surface and knead until it's a soft ball of dough.
Flatten the dough into a disc and wrap it in plastic wrap. Refrigerate for 30 minutes.
Make The Peach Filling!
While the dough is chilling, start on the peach mixture by peeling and dicing peaches into 1/4 -1/2 size pieces.
Melt butter in a saucepan and then stir in peaches, brown sugar, granulated sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
Simmer over medium heat while stirring until peaches mash easily and syrup has thickened.
Mash half of the peaches with a potato masher and leave the other half in chunks.
Remove from heat and let cool completely. (I place it in the fridge to speed this up.)
Make The Pie Crust Pieces
Preheat the oven to 350 F. Line a pan with parchment paper. Set aside.
Roll the chilled pie dough out onto a floured surface until it is about 1/8 inch thick.
Brush with melted butter and then sprinkle generously with cinnamon sugar. *Press the cinnamon sugar into the dough. Fold the dough in half and repeat. Finally, press the dough out one more time and repeat with the butter and cinnamon sugar. (This will ensure cinnamon sugar is all throughout the dough and on top)
Using a pizza cutter or knife, cut the dough into small 1-inch squares. (This doesn't have to be perfect)
Place the dough pieces on the prepared pan and bake for 15-20 minutes. ( may need more or less time)
Remove from oven and let cool. Crush into pieces. Set aside.
Make the Ice Cream!
To make the ice cream, add cold heavy whipping cream into a large bowl.
Using a mixer, mix until whipped cream becomes fluffy and can hold stiff peaks.
Stir in sweetened condensed milk until completely mixed in.
Stir in cinnamon, nutmeg, and vanilla extract.
Fold in mashed peaches and the peach pieces ( reserving about 1/4 cup of the peach chunks to sprinkle on top)
Add 1 cup of the crushed pie pieces into the ice cream mixture, reserving the rest for the top.
Pour the ice cream into a 5x10 loaf pan.
Sprinkle remaining peaches and pie crust pieces on top.
Cover with plastic wrap or foil. Freeze for 4 hours or overnight.

Notes
Peaches: Use ripe peeled and diced peaches or peaches in a cup that comes in their own juice or 100% fruit juice. These two make the best peach ice cream.
