Project Description
Ingredients:
For the Pie Crust
-
- 5 cups all purpose flour plus more for rolling 300g
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tsp sea salt
- 2 cups unsalted butter cold
- 6 tbsp ice water
- 1/4 cup vodka
For the Egg Wash
-
- 1 egg
- 1 tbsp cream or milk
For the Filling
-
- 4 1/2 cups sliced peeled fresh peaches 4 to 5 medium
- 1 1/2 cups cherries pitted and halved
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 2 tbsp corn starch
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
Directions:
For the Crust:
-
You should make two batches of dough so your processor is not overwhelmed. . Just divide the above ingredients in half. In a food processor pulse the flour, sugar, and salt to combine.
-
Cut the COLD butter into roughly one inch cubes. Add butter to processor and pulse until you have small lentil sized pieces.
-
Mix the vodka and ice water in a small bowl. Slowly drizzle the liquid into the processor while pulsing. You can do this a tablespoon at a time or just eyeball it. I like to add in 3/4 of the liquid then check to see if the dough is coming together by squeezing a spoonful in my hand. If it sticks together then the dough has enough liquid.
-
Remove onto a floured surface and work together a few times. Flatten into a disk, cover in plastic and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes. Remember you’re making two batches so that’s two disks.
-
Roll out one disk and transfer to pie pan. press into dish, trim edge and chill in refrigerator while you work on the filling.
For the Filling:
-
Boil the peaches for one minute to loosen the skins.
-
Allow time to cool. Cut into quarters. Remove pit.
-
Cut cherries in half and remove pits.
-
Place in a large bowl and toss with sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice, and vanilla.
-
Place fruit inside pie crust. Top your lattice.
-
Bake for about 45 minutes at about 400 degrees.
