Georgia Peach Pie Recipes

Steps:

• Prepare Crust: In large bowl, combine 2 cups flour and salt; using pastry blender or two knives, cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
• Sprinkle 5 to 6 tablespoon cold water, 1 tablespoon at a time, over flour mixture; toss with fork to blend lightly but evenly.
• When mixture forms ball, knead gently 2 or 3 times.
• Divide dough in half.
• On lightly floured surface, roll out half dough to 12-inch circle; fit into 9-inch pie plate; trim, leaving 1-inch overhang.
• Roll out remaining half dough to 12-inch circle; using sharp knife cut circle into ten strips, each about 1-inch wide; set aside.
• Heat oven to 375°F.
• Prepare filling: In large bowl, combine peaches, sugar, 1/4 cup flour, lemon juice, and grated peel; toss well.
• Pour filling into prepared crust.
• Arrange reserved strips of dough in lattice pattern over filling; trim strips to match lower of crust overhang.
• Dampen overhang lightly with water; turn up over ends of strips and seal.
• Flute edge decoratively.
• Brush lattice strips and edge of crust with milk; bake 50 minutes until bubbling and crust is golden brown.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
• In a large glass or metal bowl, whip the egg whites until they can hold a peak. Gradually sprinkle in the sugar, while continuing to whip the egg whites to stiff peaks. Fold in saltines, vanilla, baking powder and pecans. Spread evenly into an ungreased 9 inch deep dish pie plate.
• Bake for 30 minutes in the preheated oven, or until a skewer inserted into the center comes out clean. Remove from the oven, and cool. The crust will puff and crack as it cools.
• When crust is completely cool, arrange sliced peaches over the top. Cover with aluminum foil to protect their color until serving. Top with sweetened whipped cream just before serving.

Steps:

• Fit pastry in bottom of pie pan.
• Combine sugar, brown sugar, tapioca and salt in a large mixing bowl.
• Add peaches and toss gently to coat.
• Sprinkle on almond extract; stir.
• Pour peach mixture into pastry shell; dot with butter.
• Place remaining pie crust over filling.
• Trim edges; seal and flute.
• Cut slits in top crust. (Top crust may be brushed with milk and sprinkled with sugar.).
• Bake at 450 degrees Fahrenheit for 10 minutes.
• Reduce heat to 375 degrees Fahrenheit.
• Bake for 40 minutes or until crust is golden brown.

Steps:

• Combine 2 1/2 pounds peach wedges with 3/4 cup light brown sugar, the juice of 1 lemon, 2 tablespoons quick-cooking tapioca, 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract, 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon, 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Pour into pie shell; dot with 4 tablespoons butter.
• Perfect All-Butter Piecrust
• Pulse 3 1/2 cups flour, 1/4 cup sugar and 1 teaspoon salt in a food processor. Add 1 diced stick cold butter; process until combined. Add 2 more diced sticks cold butter; pulse three times, or until the mixture resembles coarse meal. Add 1 tablespoon white or cider vinegar. Gradually pour in 1/3 cup ice water, pulsing about four times until combined. Turn out onto a clean surface and press into a cohesive dough without overworking (you should see bits of butter). Wrap in plastic wrap and press into a 1-inch-thick disk; refrigerate at least 1 hour before rolling out.
• How to Make a Pie
• Divide the chilled dough in half; roll 1 piece into a 12-inch, 1/8-inch-thick circle on a lightly floured surface (refrigerate the other piece).
• Roll the dough onto a rolling pin, then unroll it into a 9-inch glass pie plate, letting it hang over the edge; add filling (see options above).
• Roll out the other piece of dough and place over the filling; press the crust edges together and trim, leaving a 1-inch overhang. Roll up or pinch the overhang to seal.
• Place a foil-lined baking sheet on a rack in the lower third of the oven; preheat to 450 degrees. Wrap an oiled, wide band of foil around the pie edge to protect the crust. Make slashes in the top of the crust; chill for 30 minutes.
• Reduce the oven to 400 degrees. Bake the pie for 30 minutes. Remove the foil band, brush the crust with heavy cream and sprinkle with sugar. Bake until golden brown, about 30 minutes; cool before slicing.

Steps:

• For the buttermilk chess pie: Place a baking sheet in the oven and preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.

• Bake the pie until the custard is set and golden brown on the surface, 45 to 55 minutes. Allow it to cool completely.
• For the Georgia peach topping: Meanwhile, place the peaches, orange juice and sorghum in a saucepot over medium heat. Cover and cook until just simmering, about 4 minutes. Stir in the cornstarch and cook until a syrup has come together with the peaches, 3 minutes more. Sprinkle in the salt and set aside until ready to serve the pie.
• Serve slices of pie garnished with the peach topping, a dusting of confectioners' sugar, and some fresh mint.
