Peach Melba Pie Recipes

Steps:

• For the crust: Pulse the flour, sugar and kosher salt in a food processor to combine. Scatter in the butter pieces and pulse until the butter is the size of small peas. Sprinkle with the vinegar and 5 tablespoons of the water. Pulse until the dough just begins to come together. (If the dough is still floury and crumbly, add the last tablespoon of water and pulse again.) Dump the dough on the counter and press into a disc with your hands. Wrap in plastic wrap and chill for 30 minutes.
• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• For the filling: Melt the butter in a 10-inch cast-iron skillet over medium heat. Once the butter is melted, add the preserves and stir until smooth, then simmer until syrupy, about 1 minute. Remove from the heat and stir in the sugar, brandy, lemon juice, ginger and nutmeg. Add the peaches and raspberries, then sprinkle with the cornstarch and toss to coat the fruit in the cornstarch.
• Roll the dough on a floured counter to a circle about an inch or so wider than the top of the skillet. Trim the dough to clean up the edges, then lay the dough over the top of the skillet, tucking the edges inside. Cut 3 small slits in the top of the dough to let steam escape. Brush the dough with the beaten egg and sprinkle with sugar.
• Place the skillet on the lined baking sheet to catch any drips. Bake until the filling is bubbling and the crust is crisp and deep golden brown, 45 to 50 minutes. Let cool at least 30 minutes before serving.
• For the sauce: Put the caramel sauce in a small saucepan and heat over medium-low heat until it starts to simmer, then whisk in the buttermilk and flaky salt. Return to a simmer and simmer until smooth, about 1 minute. Let cool before serving.
• To serve, scoop the pie into serving dishes and drizzle with the sauce. Sprinkle with additional flaky salt, if desired.

Steps:

• For the press-in crust: Coat a 9-1/2-inch deep-dish pie plate with butter and set aside. Combine the measured flour, sugar, and salt in a food processor fitted with a blade attachment and pulse 5 times to evenly incorporate. Add the butter and pulse until just incorporated (some large pieces will remain). Drizzle in 4 tablespoons of the ice water and pulse until moistened throughout, about 5 pulses. (Add the last tablespoon of ice water if necessary, but do not overwork the dough or it will become tough.) Turn into the prepared pie plate. Press with floured fingers or the back of a measuring cup dipped in flour until the dough evenly covers the bottom and sides of the pie plate. Place in the refrigerator to chill, at least 20 minutes. Meanwhile, heat the oven to 400°F, arrange a rack in the lower third, and place a baking sheet lined with aluminum foil on the rack. When the oven is hot, pierce the base of the crust with a fork several times, line it with a piece of parchment paper, and fill it with pie weights or dried beans. Place the crust on the hot baking sheet and bake until dry to the touch but not browned, about 20 to 25 minutes. Remove from the oven, set aside the pie weights and parchment paper, and let the crust cool slightly on a wire rack. Return the baking sheet to the oven. For the filling: Combine the peaches, sugars, vanilla seeds or extract, and lemon juice in a large, nonreactive bowl and gently mix. Add the raspberries and cornstarch and toss to coat. Transfer the filling to the crust and place the pie on the hot baking sheet. Bake until the peaches are just beginning to brown, about 30 minutes. For the streusel: Meanwhile, combine all of the streusel ingredients except the butter in a medium bowl and mix until evenly incorporated. Add the butter and combine with your fingers, rubbing the butter into the flour mixture until mostly incorporated but some small pieces remain. Place in the refrigerator until ready to use. When the pie is ready, remove it from the oven and reduce the temperature to 375°F. Sprinkle the streusel over top and return the pie to the oven. Bake until the filling is bubbly, the streusel is browned, and the peaches are fork-tender, about 40 to 45 minutes more. Let cool on a wire rack at least 45 minutes before slicing.

Steps:

• Combine gingersnap crumbs, chocolate and butter; press onto bottom and up side of 9-inch pie plate sprayed with cooking spray. Freeze 20 min.
• Beat cream cheese, sugar and milk in medium bowl with mixer until blended. Gently stir in COOL WHIP.
• Cut peaches into 1/2-inch-thick slices. Reserve 3 peach slices for garnish; wrap tightly in plastic wrap. Finely chop remaining peach slices; stir into cream cheese mixture. Spoon into crust. Refrigerate pie and reserved peach slices 2 hours or until pie is firm.
• Microwave jam in small microwaveable bowl on HIGH 30 sec. or just until warmed; stir. Drizzle over pie. Garnish with raspberries and reserved peach slices.

Steps:

• For the pudding: Put the eggs yolks in a medium bowl. Whisk together the milk, sugar, cornstarch and salt in a medium saucepan, and bring to a low simmer over medium heat, whisking constantly to prevent sticking on the bottom. Once the mixture comes to a simmer, continue whisking until it is just thicker than heavy cream, 3 to 4 minutes. Remove the saucepan from the heat, pour about 1 cup of the mixture into the egg yolks and whisk to combine. Pour this milk-egg mixture back into the milk mixture in the saucepan. Return the saucepan to medium heat, and whisk until very thick, 3 to 4 minutes. (When you drag the whisk through the thickened pudding, the streaks should hold firm for a few seconds.)
• Whisk the butter and vanilla into the pudding, and transfer it to a large bowl to cool. Set the bowl in some ice water and whisk frequently to help the pudding cool faster.
• For the raspberry topping: While the pudding cools, stir together 2 tablespoons water and the cornstarch in a small bowl. Heat the raspberries and sugar in a medium skillet over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the raspberries thaw and break down and the sugar dissolves completely, 3 to 4 minutes. Stir in the cornstarch mixture, and bring to a simmer, stirring constantly; continue cooking and stirring until the mixture thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon, 1 to 2 minutes. Remove the skillet from the heat, and let the mixture cool completely.
• Build the pie: Spread 1/2 the cooled pudding into an even layer in the pie crust. Scatter the peaches over the pudding, then the cookies over the peaches. Finish with an even layer of the remaining pudding. Cover with a piece of plastic wrap, and refrigerate for 1 hour. Spread the raspberry topping over the pudding. (Stir the topping first to smooth out if needed.) Refrigerate the pie until the pudding is completely set, about 2 hours. Slice and serve.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375°F.
• MAKE THE CRUST:.
• In a large bowl, stir together flour and salt. Using a pastry blender or two knives, blend in shortening until mixture resembles very coarse crumbs. Sprinkle with water and stir until dough forms a ball.
• Cut dough in half; wrap one-half in plastic wrap and set aside.
• On a lightly floured cutting board or counter, roll together dough half out into an 11-inch circle. Tansfer dough to a 9-inch deep-dish pie pan.

• ASSEMBLE THE PIE;.
• Roll out reserved dough to an 11-inch circle.
• Roll edges of crust under; then crimp as desired to seal. Cut several small slits in top crust to allow steam to escape.
• Using a pastry brush, brush top crust with milk, then sprinkle with sugar. Bake 60-70 minutes, or until crust in nicely browned and fruit is bubbling. Cool pie to room temperature before serving.

Steps:

• Unroll the pastry sheets and use a pizza wheel to cut out 6 rectangles from each one. Turn a piece of pastry so the long side is nearest to you, and fold it in half like a book, to create a fold down the middle. Open the pastry out and spoon the fruit filling onto one side, leaving a border of about 1cm around the edge. Brush the beaten egg around the edges and fold the pastry again to encase the filling. Use a fork to seal the edges all the way around, then brush all over with more egg. Poke a few air holes in the top with the fork. Repeat with the remaining pastry and filling. Arrange the pop pies on a baking sheet lined with baking parchment and chill for at least 30 mins, or for up to 24 hrs. Alternatively freeze for up to 2 months.
• Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Bake the pop pies for 20 mins, or until the pastry is golden and the filling is bubbling through the holes. Remove from the oven and cool for at least 20 mins. If cooking from frozen, bake for an extra 5 mins. Meanwhile crush the remaining raspberries until juicy and mix with the icing sugar to make a thick icing.
