PEACH CRUMBLE PIE

Steps:

• In medium bowl, mix 1 cup flour and the salt. Cut in shortening, using pastry blender (or pulling 2 table knives through ingredients in opposite directions), until particles are size of small peas. Sprinkle with cold water, 1 tablespoon at a time, tossing with fork until all flour is moistened and pastry almost cleans side of bowl (1 to 2 teaspoons more water can be added if necessary).
• Gather pastry into a ball. On lightly floured surface, shape pastry into flattened disk. Wrap in plastic wrap; refrigerate about 45 minutes or until dough is firm and cold, yet pliable. (If refrigerated longer, let dough soften slightly before rolling.)
• Heat oven to 425°F. On lightly floured surface, roll pastry with floured rolling pin into round 2 inches larger than upside-down 9-inch glass pie plate. Fold pastry into quarters; place in pie plate. Unfold and ease into plate, pressing firmly against bottom and side. Trim overhanging edge of pastry 1 inch from rim of plate. Fold and roll pastry under, even with plate; press edge with tines of fork or flute if desired.
• Place peaches in pastry-lined plate. Mix granulated sugar and 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg; sprinkle over peaches. In small bowl, beat whipping cream and egg with fork or wire whisk until blended; pour over peaches. In another small bowl, mix topping ingredients with fork until crumbly; sprinkle over peaches.
• Cover edge of pastry with 2- to 3-inch-wide strip of foil to prevent excessive browning; remove foil for last 15 minutes of baking. Bake 35 to 40 minutes or until top is golden brown. Cool 30 minutes. Serve warm.

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.
