Peach Chiffon Pie Food

PEACH PIE

Steps:

• Combine 2 1/2 pounds peach wedges with 3/4 cup light brown sugar, the juice of 1 lemon, 2 tablespoons quick-cooking tapioca, 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract, 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon, 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Pour into pie shell; dot with 4 tablespoons butter.
• Perfect All-Butter Piecrust
• Pulse 3 1/2 cups flour, 1/4 cup sugar and 1 teaspoon salt in a food processor. Add 1 diced stick cold butter; process until combined. Add 2 more diced sticks cold butter; pulse three times, or until the mixture resembles coarse meal. Add 1 tablespoon white or cider vinegar. Gradually pour in 1/3 cup ice water, pulsing about four times until combined. Turn out onto a clean surface and press into a cohesive dough without overworking (you should see bits of butter). Wrap in plastic wrap and press into a 1-inch-thick disk; refrigerate at least 1 hour before rolling out.
• How to Make a Pie
• Divide the chilled dough in half; roll 1 piece into a 12-inch, 1/8-inch-thick circle on a lightly floured surface (refrigerate the other piece).
• Roll the dough onto a rolling pin, then unroll it into a 9-inch glass pie plate, letting it hang over the edge; add filling (see options above).
• Roll out the other piece of dough and place over the filling; press the crust edges together and trim, 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; preheat to 450 degrees. Wrap an oiled, wide band of foil around the pie edge to protect the crust. Make slashes in the top of the crust; chill for 30 minutes.
• Reduce the oven to 400 degrees. Bake the pie for 30 minutes. Remove the foil band, brush the crust with heavy cream and sprinkle with sugar. Bake until golden brown, about 30 minutes; cool before slicing.

GRAPEFRUIT CHIFFON PIE

Steps:

• For the crust: Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Pulse the graham crackers in the work bowl of a food processor until finely ground, about 30 seconds; you should have about 1 1/2 cups of crumbs. Add the sugar and salt and pulse to combine. Add the melted butter and pulse until the mixture resembles wet sand.
• Press the crumbs evenly into the bottom and up the sides of an 8-inch pie plate. Bake until the crust is lightly browned, 15 to 18 minutes. Allow to cool completely.
• For the filling: Pour the water into a small bowl. Sprinkle the gelatin into the water. Let stand until the gelatin softens, about 15 minutes.
• Set a small pot of water to boil. In a medium heatproof bowl, whisk together the egg yolks and 1/2 cup of the sugar. Add the grapefruit juice, grapefruit zest and salt. Place the bowl on the pot of boiling water to create a double boiler. Cook over medium heat, whisking constantly, until the mixture thickens slightly and registers 170 degrees F on an instant-read thermometer, about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and add the gelatin mixture, whisking until the gelatin dissolves and the mixture is smooth, about 1 minute. Strain through a fine-mesh strainer into a large bowl; discard the solids remaining in the strainer. Set aside to cool, 30 to 40 minutes.
• Once the filling has cooled, beat the egg whites with an electric mixer on medium-low speed until frothy, 2 to 3 minutes. Add 1/2 cup of the sugar, increase the speed to medium-high, and beat the egg whites until glossy and stiff peaks form, about 8 minutes.
• Using a rubber spatula, gently fold the egg whites into the cooled egg yolk mixture in batches until fully blended and no streaks remain.
• Pour the filling into the cooled crust, allowing the chiffon to mound slightly in the center. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours and up to 2 days before serving. Let stand at room temperature 20 minutes before serving.
• Before serving, toss the strips of grapefruit zest in the sugar and arrange in the center of the pie.
