PEACH PIE

Steps:

• Place cookie sheet on oven rack. Heat oven to 400°F.

Remove crust from pan and center frozen crust upside down on top of filled pie. Let thaw 10 minutes; crimp edges together. Cut 2 or 3 slits in top crust. Cover edge of crust with pie shield or foil strips.
• Bake on cookie sheet about 45 minutes or until crust is golden brown and juice is thick and bubbly. Cover entire top of pie loosely with foil if crust is getting too brown. Cool on cooling rack at least 2 hours.

PEACH BETTY

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees. In a large bowl, toss peaches, sugar, lemon juice, and flour to combine. Transfer to an 8-inch square (or other shallow 2-quart) baking dish.
• In a food processor, pulse bread until coarse crumbs form; sprinkle over fruit mixture, and dot with butter. Cover tightly with aluminum foil.
• Bake until fruit mixture is bubbling, 25 to 30 minutes. Remove foil, and continue baking until topping is golden, 10 to 15 minutes more. Let sit at least 10 minutes. Serve with whipped cream, if desired.

HEALTHY PEACH BETTY

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Put the peaches, 2 tablespoons of the butter, 2 tablespoons of the maple syrup and the vanilla in a 2-quart oval baking dish. Toss with a spatula to combine, then arrange the peaches cut side up.
• Put the bread and salt in the bowl of a food processor. Pulse until you have small crumbs (take care not to over-process or the crumbs can get gummy). Transfer to a medium bowl and mix with the remaining 2 tablespoons butter and 2 tablespoons maple syrup. Sprinkle the bread mixture evenly over the peaches.
• Bake until the peaches are very tender and the bread crumbs are golden-brown, 30 to 35 minutes.

PEAR BETTYS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Place bread on a rimmed baking sheet. Bake, stirring halfway through, until golden brown, 10 to 15 minutes. Let cool completely. Transfer to a resealable plastic bag; seal bag. Coarsely crush with a rolling pin so that the largest pieces are the size of peas.
• Melt butter in a medium skillet over medium heat. Remove from heat. Stir in breadcrumbs, sugar, spices, salt, 1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons cider, and the lemon juice. Let stand 10 minutes.
• Peel pears; cut into 1/2-inch chunks. Place a heaping 1/2 cup pears in each of 6 small (5-inch) pie plates or ramekins. Top each with 1/4 cup breadcrumb mixture; drizzle each with 1 tablespoon cider. Top with remaining pears, then with remaining breadcrumb mixture.
• Transfer to a rimmed baking sheet lined with parchment paper; cover with foil. Bake 30 minutes. Uncover; bake until topping is browned and juices are bubbling, about 15 minutes. Let cool on sheet on a wire rack 15 minutes before serving.
