PEACH PIE WITH ALMOND-PECAN STREUSEL

Peach Pie With Almond-Pecan Streusel image

Cut from our local newspaper a few years ago. It has become a family favorite. "If apple is the quintessential American pie, then peach is surely our summertime favorite, and all the more if it's served a la mode. To make a peach pie worth of the name, use fully ripe fruit and a pastry crust that's rich and tender but still sturdy enough to contain its sweet, juicy burden without collapsing. To remove the skins from peaches easily, pour boiling water over them, then quickly dip fruit into ice water. Use your fingers or a small knife to slip off the skins. This recipe calls for a crumbly nut topping, but you could substitue a classic lattice crust that lets the fruit show through. Serve the pie warm or at room temperatue, with or without ice cream. To gauge the amount of sugar and cornstarch to use, take your cue from the ripeness of the peaches; if they are very sweet-tasting and quite juicy, use the smaller amount of sugar and the large amount of cornstarch."

Tips:

Use fresh ingredients: The quality of your ingredients will greatly impact the taste of your pie. Whenever possible, use fresh fruits, nuts, and spices.
Don't overmix the dough: Overmixing the dough will make it tough. Mix it just until the ingredients are combined.
Chill the dough before baking: Chilling the dough will make it easier to work with and will prevent it from shrinking in the oven.
Blind bake the crust: Blind baking the crust will help to prevent it from becoming soggy.
Use a pie weight or beans to weigh down the crust: Weighing down the crust will help to prevent it from bubbling up in the oven.
Bake the pie until the filling is set and the crust is golden brown: The baking time will vary depending on the recipe you are using, but the pie is generally done when the filling is set and the crust is golden brown.
Let the pie cool before serving: Letting the pie cool before serving will allow the flavors to develop and will make it easier to slice.

With its buttery crust, sweet and nutty filling, and creamy topping, almond pecan pie is a classic dessert that is perfect for any occasion.
