Time 5h25m

Yield 1 deep-dish pie

Number Of Ingredients 16

2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour (see Cook's Note), plus more for dusting
2 tablespoons granulated sugar, plus extra for sprinkling
1 teaspoon fine salt
1/4 cup chilled vegetable shortening
12 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cut into cubes, plus extra for the pan
4 to 5 tablespoons ice water
2 1/2 pounds peach wedges (from 8 to 10 medium peaches), thawed and drained if frozen
3/4 cup light brown sugar
1/3 cup quick-cooking tapioca
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon salt
Juice of 1 lemon
Oil, for oiling the foil
1 tablespoon heavy cream

Steps:

  • For the crust: Put the flour, granulated sugar and salt in the bowl of a food processor and pulse to combine. Add the shortening and pulse until it looks like cornmeal. Add the butter and pulse until the butter is about the size of a pea. Add 4 tablespoon ice water and pulse until the dough starts to come together but is still crumbly (add the remaining tablespoon water if necessary). Divide the dough into 2 pieces, one made from a third of the dough and the other from the remaining two-thirds of the dough. Form each into a disc and wrap in plastic. Refrigerate for 30 minutes or up to overnight.
  • For the peach filling: Combine the peach wedges, light brown sugar, quick-cooking tapioca, cinnamon, vanilla extract, nutmeg, salt and lemon juice in a large bowl and toss to coat. Set aside.
  • Lightly butter an 8-inch springform pan. On a lightly floured surface, roll the larger piece of dough into a 14-inch circle, about 1/4-inch thick.
  • Roll the dough onto a rolling pin, then unroll it into the pan, patting it in gently, leaving a 1-inch overhang. Pour in the filling.
  • Roll out the other piece of dough into a 10-inch circle about 1/8-inch thick and place it over the filling; press the crust edges together and trim any excess, leaving a 1-inch overhang. Roll up or pinch the overhang to seal.
  • Place a foil-lined baking sheet on a rack in the lower third of the oven and preheat to 450 degrees F. Wrap an oiled, wide band of foil around the edge of the pan like a collar to protect the crust. Make slashes in the top of the crust and chill the pie 30 minutes.
  • Place the pie on the foil-lined baking sheet and immediately reduce the oven to 400 degrees F. Bake the pie for 1 hour. Remove the foil band, brush the crust with heavy cream and sprinkle with some granulated sugar. Continue to bake until golden brown, about 45 minutes more. Let cool 1 hour, then carefully remove the edge of the pan. Let cool completely, about 1 more hour, before slicing.

GEORGIA PEACH PIE

My mom's summer dessert! So easy and fast to make. A vanilla meringue base with pecans is topped with sliced peaches and whipped cream. Make it early in the day; the longer the peaches sit on the crust the better!!!

Time 40m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 8

3 egg whites
1 cup white sugar
14 saltine crackers, finely crushed
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
¼ teaspoon baking powder
½ cup chopped pecans
7 fresh peaches - peeled, pitted, and sliced
2 cups sweetened whipped cream

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
  • In a large glass or metal bowl, whip the egg whites until they can hold a peak. Gradually sprinkle in the sugar, while continuing to whip the egg whites to stiff peaks. Fold in saltines, vanilla, baking powder and pecans. Spread evenly into an ungreased 9 inch deep dish pie plate.
  • Bake for 30 minutes in the preheated oven, or until a skewer inserted into the center comes out clean. Remove from the oven, and cool. The crust will puff and crack as it cools.
  • When crust is completely cool, arrange sliced peaches over the top. Cover with aluminum foil to protect their color until serving. Top with sweetened whipped cream just before serving.
