Peach And Almond Crumble Food

PEACH SLAB PIE WITH ALMOND CRUMBLE

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.

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.

ALMOND CRUMBLE TOPPING

Steps:

• Combine flour, sugar and nutmeg in a mixing bowl; stir well to mix and stir in sliced almonds.
• Stir in the 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.

PEACH-ALMOND CRISP

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degree F.
• For topping, stir together brown sugar, rolled oats, 1/2 cup of the flour, and the 3 tablespoons granulated sugar in a medium mixing bowl. Using a pastry blender, cut in butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in almonds.
• For filling, stir together remaining flour, the 1/3 cup granulated sugar, the cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger in a large mixing bowl. Add the peach slices and peach nectar or orange juice. Toss gently to coat.
• Transfer filling to an ungreased 3-quart rectangular baking dish. Sprinkle topping over the filling. Bake in preheated oven for 30 to 35 minutes or until fruit slices are tender and the topping is golden. Serve warm or at room temperature with ice cream.

PEACH CRUMBLE

Steps:

• Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Drain the peaches, but reserve the juice. Tip the peaches into a deep baking dish, roughly 20 x 30cm. Scatter over the lemon zest and juice and 1 tbsp of the agave, then toss everything together.
• In a bowl, combine the flour, oats, butter, remaining agave and 4 tbsp of the reserved peach juice. Mix together, first with a spoon, then with your fingers, until you have a rough crumbly mixture. Scatter over the peaches, then bake for 35 mins until golden and crunchy on top.

PEACH & ALMOND CRUNCH

Steps:

• Heat grill to high. Stone and slice the peaches. Place the biscuits in a plastic food bag and crush with a rolling pin. Arrange the peaches and the crumbled biscuits in the bottom of an ovenproof dish. Spoon over the crème fraîche, smooth with a knife so the peaches are entirely covered, then sprinkle over enough sugar to cover the crème fraîche. Place the dish under the grill for 3 mins or until the sugar has caramelised.

ALMOND CRUMBLE PEACH MUFFINS

Steps:

• To make the topping, stir together the brown sugar, sliced almonds and cinnamon.
• Stir in the oil until the topping clumps together.
• Set aside.
• In a large bowl, whisk together the flours, baking soda and salt.
• In a separate bowl, whisk together the brown sugar, yogurt, oil, eggs and vanilla.
• Pour over the flour mixture.
• Sprinkle with the peaches and stir to just mix.
• Spoon into greased or paper-lined muffin cups and sprinkle with the topping.
• Bake in a 350 degree F oven until the tops are firm to the touch, about 25 minutes.
• Let cool in the pan on a rack for 5 minutes.
• Remove from the pan and let cool completely.
