Peach Nectarine Pie Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Grind the whole crackers in food processor until they turn into fine crumbs and pour in melted butter through feed tube; process until moistened. (Or combine cracker crumbs and butter in a medium-size bowl and mix until moistened.) Pat half of the crumb mixture over the bottom and up the sides of a deep 9- to 10- inch pie plate or springform pan.
• Cut the fruit in half and remove pits. Arrange pitted side up on the crust. If using frozen peaches, scatter evenly over the crust.
• Combine the sour cream, sugar, eggs and vanilla in a food processor and process until smooth. (Or combine in a bowl and whisk until blended.) Pour the filling over the fruit and sprinkle with the remaining crumb mixture. Bake 40 minutes, until puffed and set in center (If using frozen peaches, 20 minutes more.) Cool to room temperature, cover and refrigerate until chilled.

Steps:

• 1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• 2. In a large bowl, combine the peaches and nectarines, 1/2 cup of the sugar, the lemon juice, and lemon zest. Set aside for 10 minutes to juice. Combine the remaining 2 tablespoons sugar and the cornstarch in a small bowl, then stir the mixture into the fruit. Stir in the almond extract.
• 3. To assemble the pies, roll out your favorite pie crust. Cut circles big enough to fill a muffin well. You could use a lid or a biscuit cutter. Place the circles into the muffin tin as if you were filling a pie plate. Fill with pie filling, almost to the top. With remaining dough pieces, cut strips for these, but you could take a small cookie cutter and cut out shapes and put on top.
• 4. Sprinkle some sugar on the tops and bake for 20-25 minutes. Let cool and serve.

Steps:

• To make the piecrust, blend together the flour and salt. Stir egg with fork in a measuring cup. Add water to fill measuring cup to 1 cup. Then slowly incorporate the egg mixture into the flour mixture with a fork, just until a dough is formed. Make 6 balls of crust. Use immediately or store in baggies up to 1 week or freeze.
• Preheat oven to 450 degrees F.
• Toss peaches and nectarines with lemon juice. Mix in the dry ingredients. Put mixture in pastry shell, dot with butter. Bake for 40 to 45 minutes.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 375°F. Place pie crust in 9-inch glass pie plate as directed on box for One-Crust Filled Pie.
• In medium bowl, mix nectarines, granulated sugar, cornstarch, vanilla and orange juice. Spoon filling into crust-lined plate.
• In medium bowl, mix flour, brown sugar, orange peel and salt. Cut in butter, using pastry blender (or pulling 2 table knives through ingredients in opposite directions), until mixture looks like coarse crumbs. Sprinkle over nectarines.
• Bake 30 minutes. Cover crust edge with strips of foil to prevent excessive browning; bake 10 minutes longer or until golden brown. Cool 30 minutes before serving.

Steps:

• Roll out bottom crust.
• Combine peaches, nectarines, pumpkin pie spice,1 cup sugar,cornstarch, and ginger.
• Spoon peach mixture into crust.
• Roll out top crust and fit onto filled bottom crust.

• Reduce oven temperature to 375 and bake 1 hour,20 minutes or until crust is golden and filling is bubbly.
• Cool on wire rack.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425°F.
• On a well-floured surface, roll the prepared pastry dough out to an even circle about 12-inches in diameter. Carefully fold the dough in half and transfer it to a 9-inch pie pan. Unfold the dough and press it gently on to the bottom and sides of the pan - there should be some dough overhanging the edes. Leaving about 1/2-inch overhang, cut off any dough in excess of that. tuck the overhang under and pinch the edges decoratively to make a fluted edge - or simply press the edge with a fork if you prefer.
• In a large bowl, beat the eggs slightly, then whisk in the sugar, sour cream, flour and cinnamon, Add the prepared peaches and nectarines (There should be about 5 cups prepared fruit) and stir to combine. Spoon into the pastry-lined pan and bake for 15 minutes. Then reduce the heat to 375F and continue baking for 30-45 minutes or until the fruit is tender and kjnife inserted in the center comes out clean.
• Let cool, slice and serve. Refrigerate any leftovers.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (205 degrees C). Place a large pot of water over high heat, and bring to a boil.
• Combine sugar, flour, cinnamon, heavy cream and almond extract. Set aside.
• Place the nectarines in boiling water for 30 to 45 seconds. Immediately place nectarines under cold running water and remove skins. Cut nectarines in half and remove pits. Place halves in the pie shell with the cut side down. Pour the cream mixture around the nectarines.
• Bake at 400 degrees F (205 degrees C) for 35 to 40 minutes. Good served warm or cold.

Steps:

• Make the pie dough. Using your fingertips or the pulse function of a food processor, blend together the flour, butter and salt until the mixture resembles a coarse meal. There should be pebbles of butter throughout the mixture.
• Add egg yolk and vinegar to 1/4 cup ice water, and stir to combine. Drizzle 4 tablespoons of this mixture over the dough, and gently stir or pulse to combine. Gather a golf-ball-size bit of dough, and squeeze to combine. If it does not hold together, add a little more of the liquid, and stir or pulse, then check again. Repeat as necessary.
• Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface, and gather together into a rough ball. Divide the ball in half with a knife or a pastry scraper, then divide each portion in half again, and again, to create 8 portions. Using the heel of your hand, flatten each portion of dough once or twice to expand the pebbles of butter, then gather the dough together again in one ball. Divide this ball in half.
• Flatten each ball into a 5- or 6-inch disc, one slightly larger than the other. Wrap the discs in plastic wrap, and place in the refrigerator for at least 60 minutes.
• Preheat oven to 425. Make the pie filling: Combine sliced peaches, lemon juice, sugar and flour in a large bowl, and gently mix to combine. Set aside.
• Take the larger of the pastry discs out of the refrigerator, roll it out on a lightly floured surface and place in a 9-inch pie plate. Add the peaches. Sprinkle them with the ground nutmeg.
• Roll out second disc of pastry. Place on top of filling. Wet edges of the bottom pastry disc with some cold water. Trim pastry, pinch bottom and top edges together and cut a few slits to allow steam to escape from the pie. Brush the egg white on the top, particularly around the edges, and sprinkle with a pinch of granulated sugar.
• Bake the pie for 15 minutes, then reduce heat to 375. Cook until peaches bubble and pastry is golden, approximately 45 minutes to an hour.
