Deep Dish Georgia Peach Pie Food

LAYERS OF LOVE -FRESH GEORGIA PEACH COBBLER-PIE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• Prepare Peaches: Cut an x into peaches. Blanch peaches in boiling water for 10-15 seconds. Peel.
• Slice peaches, and toss with sugar, butter, nutmeg, cinnamon, cloves, corn starch, Vanilla extract and lemon juice; mix well. Set aside while preparing crusts.
• Prepare crusts: Use homemade or purchased pie crusts to make three (3) crusts. Take the first crust (make sure that you have enough dough/crust to cover the bottom and up the sides of the pan or dish you are working with.). Use a deep enough dish to hold two layers of peaches. I used a 2 qt. glass Pyrex casserole dish. Insert the crust and partially bake for 10 minutes -until the bottom of the crust is set and a light tan color.
• Place half of the peach mixture on top of the partially baked bottom crust in the dish.
• Take another crust and cut into 4 strips, the length of the pie dish. Place strips on ungreased cookie sheet; bake 18 minutes. Cool enough to handle.
• Arrange the baked pastry strips on top of the peach mixture in the pie dish. It is okay if they break as you fit them in the pie dish -you won't see them after the pie is put together.
• Cover the pastry strips with the remainder half of the peach mixture.
• Place the top crust over the peaches and seal the edges. Cut a couple of slits in the top of the crust (or you can make a lattice top crust).
• Bake in a 350 degree oven about 1 hour or until crust is golden brown.
• NOTE: Make your own crust (You can use my "Never Fail Pie Crust," OR purchase refrigerated pie crust, such as Pillsbury pie crusts. https://www.justapinch.com/recipes/bread/other-bread/never-fail-pie-crust.html?p=42

GEORGIA PEACH PIE

Steps:

• 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.

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.

• 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.
