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.

PERFECT PIE CRUST PEACH PIE RECIPE - (4.5/5)

Steps:

• PIE CRUST: Sift flour, salt, and sugar together. Cut in shortening, be gentle, don't over-do it. You want the mixture to be light and crumbly. When you have crumbles that are a little smaller than pea-sized, add water 1 tablespoon at a time. If you pinch some of the crumbly dough and it barely holds together it's ready. If the dough doesn't hold together, add a little more water and continue to mix. Remove dough from bowl and place in a mound on a clean surface. Gently shape into 2 balls, cover with plastic wrap and chill in the fridge for at least an hour or so (preferably overnight) This pie crust recipe could be for 2 crusts, or a top and bottom crust. On a floured board or floured wax paper, turn the dough out and flatten it with the hands into a round. Flour the rolling pin and begin rolling the pie crust into a roughly round shape, until it is about two inches larger than the pie pan. Carefully fold the dough into quarters and place it in the pie pan, with the point of the pie crust in the middle of the pan. Unfold the pie crust and gently pat it into place into the bottom and sides of the pan. Trim the crust press down with fingers or a fork. Sprinkle all over with sugar before baking. PEACH PIE FILLING: Combine the dry ingredients, then stir in peaches and almond extract. Pour the filling into the unbaked pie crust. Top with the 2nd crust and make slits in the top for the moisture to release. Bake at 375°F until crust turns golden brown, about 35-40 minutes.
