PEACH STREUSEL SLAB PIE
There are two great things about this summer slab pie: It serves a big crowd and you don't have to roll out the dough. We opted for a press-in dough (reminiscent of shortbread), which is super easy to make and saves lots of time. For something a little different, substitute pecans or skinned hazelnuts for the almonds in the streusel topping.

Steps:
- Adjust a rack to the bottom third of the oven and preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Grease the bottom and sides of a rimmed 10-by-15-inch baking sheet with butter.
- For the dough: Combine the butter, flour, confectioners' sugar and salt in a food processor and process until the mixture comes together in a solid mass (this may take a few minutes). Drop pieces of the dough all over the prepared baking sheet. Use your fingers to press the dough evenly along the bottom and about 1/2 inch up the sides of the pan, filling any gaps. Set aside.
- For the filling: Toss together the peaches, brown sugar, lemon juice, cornstarch, vanilla, cinnamon, salt and nutmeg in a large bowl until the cornstarch dissolves. Transfer the filling onto the crust and spread in an even layer. Bake for 30 minutes.
- For the streusel: While the pie bakes, make the strussel topping by combining the flour, almonds, brown sugar, melted butter and salt in a small bowl until evenly moistened.
- Remove the pie from the oven and sprinkle the streusel evenly over the filling. Return the pie to the oven and bake until the topping is golden brown and the filling is bubbly, 25 to 30 minutes more. (If the crust browns too quickly during baking, cover the pie loosely with foil.)
- Let the pie cool. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Steps:
- For the fruit: In a bowl, combine the peaches, sugar, flour, lemon juice and salt. Stir and set aside.
- For the all-butter lemon pie crust: Combine the flour, salt and lemon zest in a large bowl. Add the butter and use a pastry cutter to gradually work it into the flour, until the mixture resembles tiny pebbles. This step should take 3 or 4 minutes.
- Lightly beat the egg with a fork in a small bowl, then add it to the mixture. Next, add the cold water and vinegar and stir together until just combined.
- Divide the dough into 2 halves, form the halves into dough balls and place each ball into a resealable plastic bag. Using a rolling pin, slightly flatten each ball of dough (to about 1/2 inch thick) to make rolling easier later. Seal the bags and chill for at least 20 minutes (or freeze if not using immediately).
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line a 9-by-13-inch baking sheet with parchment, overhanging the parchment 3 inches on opposite sides of the baking sheet to resemble a sling (so you can lift the pie out).
- With a rolling pin on a lightly floured surface, begin rolling each piece of dough into a 9-by-13-inch rectangle. Roll the dough from the center outward. Be gentle and patient; it'll take a little time to get the dough completely rolled out.
- Place one rectangle in the bottom of the prepared baking sheet. Spread out the fruit mixture evenly on top. Place the second crust on top of the fruit. Press and fold the edges together and crimp. Cut several vents in the top of the pastry in a flower pattern.
- Bake until the crust is golden brown, about 1 hour 10 minutes. Cool for about an hour before lifting out and cutting.

Steps:
- In a food processor, pulse flour, salt, and 2 tablespoons sugar until combined. Add butter.
- Pulse until mixture resembles coarse meal, with a few pea-size pieces of butter remaining. Then, with machine running, add 2/3 cup ice water.
- Pulse until dough is crumbly but holds together when squeezed (if necessary, add up to 1/2 cup ice water, 1 tablespoon at a time). Do not overmix.
- Divide dough into 2 disks and wrap each tightly in plastic. Refrigerate until firm, at least 1 hour (or up to overnight).
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees. In a large bowl, toss together peaches, 3/4 cup sugar, cornstarch, lemon zest and lemon juice.
- Lightly flour a work surface and rolling pin. Roll out 1 disk dough to a 12-by-16-inch rectangle. Roll dough over rolling pin; carefully unroll into a 10-by-14-by-1-inch rimmed jelly-roll pan. Press gently to fit into pan.
- Pour in peach filling, then lightly brush edges of dough with water. On floured surface, roll out remaining disk to an 11-by-15-inch rectangle. Roll dough over rolling pin and carefully unroll over filling.
- Press along moistened edges to seal. Fold under any overhang, tucking it into the pan. With your fingers, crimp edges.
- With a paring knife, cut slits on top to vent. Place pie in oven, then reduce heat to 375 degrees. Bake until crust is golden and juices are bubbling, 45 to 50 minutes. Let cool on a wire rack 1 hour. Serve warm or at room temperature.

PEACH CRUMBLE SLAB PIE
Juicy, fruit-filled, buttery and gently spiced, this recipe splits the difference between a peach pie and a crumble: a flaky, all-butter crust is a bed for the jammy sliced peaches, but a cinnamon-scented crumble tops it all off. Even better, this recipe feeds a crowd, making it ideal for toting to a picnic or barbeque. When peaches and nectarines aren't in season, you can make this with a mix of plums and blueberries, cherries or ripe sweet pears. It's best eaten after it cools on the day you bake it, but no one will turn it down the next day, either.

Steps:
- Make the crust: In a food processor, briefly pulse together flour and salt. Add butter and pulse until mixture forms chickpea-size pieces (6 to 8 1-second pulses). Add ice water 1 tablespoon at a time and pulse until mixture is just moist enough to hold together. Form dough into a large ball. Wrap with plastic and flatten into a disk. Refrigerate at least 1 hour.
- Using a lightly floured rolling pin, gently roll out dough to an 11-x-15-inch rectangle, dusting with flour if dough is sticking. Fold dough in half and transfer to a 9-x-13-inch baking dish. Carefully press crust into the bottom of the pan and completely up the edges so it's flush with the top of the pan (you don't need to crimp the dough). Return crust to refrigerator while you prepare the filling and crumble topping.
- Make the filling: In a large bowl, toss together peaches, sugar, tapioca, lemon zest and juice, nutmeg, vanilla and salt. Let stand 20 to 30 minutes. Taste and add a little more sugar if needed.
- Meanwhile, heat oven to 425 degrees. Place a large rimmed baking sheet on the oven floor to preheat. Arrange one oven rack on the lowest position and a second rack in the center position.
- Make the crumble topping: Whisk together flour, sugar, cinnamon, ginger and salt. Mix in butter with your fingertips until mixture is uniformly moist and comes together in large clumps.
- Assemble the pie: Spoon filling into crust and top with crumble. Move baking sheet to the lowest rack and place pie on baking sheet. Bake 15 minutes. Reduce oven temperature to 375 degrees. Move baking sheet with pie to the center rack. Continue baking until pie is golden brown and filling is bubbling, about 1 hour. Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.

PEACH PIE WITH ALMOND CRUMBLE TOPPING
Steps:
- To make topping: Combine flour, sugar and nutmeg in a mixing bowl; stir well to mix and stir in sliced almonds. Stir in butter evenly. Set aside for 5 minutes, then, using your fingertips, break the mixture into 1/4 to 1/2-inch crumbs. Set aside again while you prepare the filling.
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees and set racks at middle level. Roll out bottom crust and arrange in 9-inch Pyrex plate.
- To make filling: Peel the peaches by cutting a cross in the blossom end of each and dropping them three at a time into a pan of boiling water. Remove after 20 or 30 seconds with a slotted spoon or skimmer and drop them into a bowl of ice water. If the peaches are ripe, the skin will slip off easily. If it does not, remove the skin with a sharp stainless steel paring knife. (If you peel it with a knife, include an extra peach for what you have peeled away.) Hold each peeled peach gently in your left hand over a mixing bowl (if you are left handed reverse.) With a stainless steel paring knife make a cut through to the pit, from stem to blossom end. Make another cut about 3/4-inch to the right of the first one along the outside of the peach. Angle the knife blade back so the cuts meet at the pit. Twist the knife blade upward slightly as a wedge of peach will fall into the bowl. Continue in the same manner around the peach, cutting it into 8 to 10 wedges. Discard the pit and repeat with remaining peaches. Add remaining ingredients, except the butter, to the peaches and stir gently with a rubber spatula to combine. Pour filling into the prepared pastry shell and smooth. Dot with the butter.
- Scatter the crumb topping evenly over the filling. Place pie on the bottom rack of the oven and bake for 15 minutes. Lower the temperature to 350 degrees and move pie to the middle rack. Bake another 30 minutes, or until the crust and crumble are a deep golden and the juices are just beginning to bubble up. Cool the pie on a rack and serve warm or room temperature.
PEACH SLAB PIE WITH ALMOND CRUMBLE
Peach pie is my dad's favorite and the first pie I ever made, so it holds a special place in my heart. I add a twist to this version with an almond crumble and a touch of honey to highlight the natural sweetness of the peaches.

Steps:
- For the crust: Whisk the flour, sugar and salt together in a medium bowl. Add the shortening and work it into the flour with your fingertips until the shortening is nearly incorporated.
- Grate the frozen butter on the large holes of a box grater into the flour. Use a whisk or plastic bowl scraper to toss the butter into the flour and break up the pieces until they are the size of peas. Stir the cold water and vinegar together in a cup, then stir the mixture into the flour mixture. Press and fold the dough in the bowl a few times to incorporate dry bits of flour.
- Place two pieces of plastic wrap on a work surface so they slightly overlap. Transfer the
- dough to the center of the plastic. Fold one side of the plastic over and flatten the dough slightly.
- Do this on all four sides to incorporate any last dry bits of dough; repeat if needed. Wrap
- the dough tightly in the plastic wrap and flatten into a rough rectangle. Chill 2 hours or
- overnight.
- Allow the chilled dough to rest at room temperature for 5 minutes. Spray a rimmed 9-by-13-inch sheet pan with cooking spray and sprinkle with 1 tablespoon of vanilla wafer crumbs if using; set aside. On a floured surface, roll the dough into a rectangle about 12 inches by 16 inches. Transfer to the prepared pan, pressing the dough into the bottom and corners of the pan. Fold the extra dough under itself so the crust is even with the top edge of the pan. Sprinkle the remaining 1 tablespoon wafer crumbs if using over the bottom crust. Chill while you prepare the crumble.
- For the crumble: Stir the melted butter, brown sugar, cinnamon and salt together in a medium bowl. Stir in the flour and almonds. Set aside.
- For the filling: Place the peaches in a large bowl, sprinkle with the sugar, flour, salt and lemon zest and toss well. Add the lemon juice and honey and toss again. Pour the filling into the chilled crust and scatter the almond crumble over the top. Freeze the pie for 30 minutes.
- When ready to bake, place another sheet pan on the center rack of the oven and preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Place the chilled pie onto the preheated sheet pan and bake for 25 minutes. Lower the temperature to 375 degrees F and bake until the top is golden and the filling is puffed and bubbling in the center, 60 to 70 minutes longer. If the pie browns too quickly, place a piece of aluminum foil that has a few holes poked in it over the top of the pie for the remainder of the baking time. Serve warm or room temperature.

Tips:
- Choose ripe peaches: Using ripe peaches will ensure that your pie has a sweet and juicy filling. Look for peaches that are slightly soft to the touch and have a deep yellow color.
- Peel and slice the peaches evenly: This will help them cook evenly in the pie.
- Use a sharp knife to cut the butter into the flour mixture: This will create small pieces of butter that will melt and create a flaky crust.
- Chill the dough before rolling it out: This will help prevent the dough from shrinking in the oven.
- Bake the pie until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling: This will ensure that the pie is cooked through.
- Let the pie cool slightly before serving: This will allow the filling to set and make it easier to slice.
Conclusion:
Peach slab pie with almond crumble is a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that is perfect for summer. The sweet and juicy peaches are perfectly complemented by the flaky crust and crunchy almond crumble. This pie is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
