Peach Melba Pop Pies Recipes

Steps:

• In medium bowl, mix 2 1/4 cups flour, the almonds, 1 teaspoon granulated sugar and the salt. Cut in butter. Sprinkle with ice water, 1 tablespoon at a time, tossing with fork until moistened. Gather into a ball. Divide dough in half; shape into 2 flattened rounds. Wrap in plastic wrap; refrigerate 1 hour. Heat oven to 350°F. In 3-quart saucepan, mix 1/2 cup granulated sugar, 1/4 cup water and the cornstarch. Stir in peaches. Cook over medium heat 7 to 9 minutes or until thickened. Stir in vanilla.
• On lightly floured surface, roll 1 pastry round into 13-inch round. Fold into fourths; place in 9-inch glass pie plate. Unfold and ease into plate; press against bottom and side. Trim pastry 1 inch from edge of plate. In small bowl, toss raspberries and 2 tablespoons flour. Fold into peach mixture. Spoon into crust-lined plate. Roll remaining pastry into 11-inch round; cut into 1-inchwide strips. Arrange strips in lattice pattern over filling; trim ends. Seal and flute. Brush with egg; sprinkle with turbinado sugar. Bake 30 to 35 minutes or until crust is browned and filling is bubbly.

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:

• Put the water, sugar, lemon juice, and vanilla pod into a wide saucepan and heat gently to dissolve the sugar. Bring the pan to the boil and let it bubble away for about 5 minutes, then turn the heat down to a fast simmer.
• Cut the peaches in half, and if the stones come out easily then remove them, if not then you can get them out later. Poach the peach halves in the sugar syrup for about 2 to 3 minutes on each side depending on the ripeness of the fruit. Test the cut side with the sharp point of a knife to see if they are soft, and then remove them to a plate with a slotted spoon.
• When all the peaches are poached, peel off their skins and let them cool (then you can remove any remaining stones). If you are making them a day in advance then let the poaching syrup cool and then pour into a dish with the peaches. Otherwise just bag up the syrup and freeze it for the next time you poach peaches.
• To make the raspberry sauce, liquidize the raspberries, confectioners' sugar, and lemon juice in a blender or a food processor. Sieve to remove the pits and pour the puree into a jug.
• To assemble the Peach Melba, allow 2 peach halves per person and sit them on each plate alongside a scoop or 2 of ice cream. Spoon the raspberry sauce over each.

Steps:

• In a small saucepan, bring water and sugar to a boil. Stir in lemon juice and vanilla. Reduce heat to low. Place peach halves cut side up in pan; cook for 5-8 minutes or until tender. Remove from the heat. Cool peaches in syrup for 30 minutes. , Remove peaches with a slotted spoon and place cut side down in a shallow dish. Cover and refrigerate for 2-4 hours or until chilled., In a small microwave-safe bowl, heat raspberry jam for 20 seconds; stir until smooth. Place peach halves cut side up in dessert dishes. Top with ice cream; drizzle with jam.

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:

• Combine both flours, the butter and a pinch of salt in the bowl of a food processor and blitz to a fine crumb. Add cold water 1 tbsp at a time (4-5 tbsp), pulsing until the mix starts to cling together. Tip out and knead with your hands (add more water if required) to make a pliable pastry dough. Split in half and flatten each portion. Wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hr.
• Remove a disc of pastry from the fridge, unwrap and, on a generously floured surface, roll it out to a large, circle, wider than the pie dish. Transfer to a floured baking sheet and chill for about 10 mins. Repeat with the remaining disc.
• Heat the oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Stone and quarter the peaches. Cut each in two, and toss in a bowl with the lemon juice, cornflour, vanilla extract, sugar, honey and raspberries. Add the butter in small pieces.
• Using a floured rolling pin, drape one of the pastry sheets across a 24cm pie dish. Let it sink in and, holding the edges, lift and tuck into the corners. Prick the pastry all over and fill with the peach mixture.
• Drape the second pastry sheet over the filling. Press together the top and bottom crusts, crimping with your fingers to seal, and trim off any excess. Cut three 8cm slits across the top crust, brush with the beaten egg and sprinkle over the demerara sugar. Bake for 55 mins to 1 hr until the crust is deeply golden and the filling is bubbling out. Cool for about 10 mins before serving with cream or vanilla ice cream.

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.
• MAKE THE FILLING:.
• In a medium mixing bowl, gently stir together peach slices, raspberries, and almond extract; set aside. In a small bowl, stir together sugar, flour and cinnamon until mixed; add to fruit and stir to coat.
• Tranfer fruit filling to the crust and dot with butter.
• 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:

• Coat a 9-1/2-inch deep-dish pie plate with butter and set aside.
• Combine flour, sugar, and salt in the bowl of a food processor fitted with a blade attachment and pulse 5 times to evenly incorporate. Add butter and pulse until just incorporated (some large pieces will remain). Drizzle in 4 tablespoons 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 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 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 crust cool slightly on a wire rack. Return the baking sheet to the oven.
• For the filling:
• Combine peaches, sugars, vanilla seeds, and lemon juice in a large nonreactive bowl and gently mix. Add raspberries and cornstarch and toss to coat. Transfer filling to crust and place pie on the hot baking sheet. Bake until peaches are just beginning to brown, about 30 minutes.
• For the streusel:
• Meanwhile, combine all streusel ingredients except butter in a medium bowl and mix until evenly incorporated. Add 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 streusel over top and return the pie to the oven. Bake until the filling is bubbly, the streusel is brown, 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:

• Put the mascarpone, yogurt, sugar, ground cloves and vanilla extract in a large bowl. Using a balloon whisk, beat until smooth. Pour in the cream and whisk again until the mixture just holds its shape - you want it to be soft and pillowy, so be careful not to take it too far.
• Put a little jam in the bottom of 6 small glasses or pots, top with some of the cream mixture, then 4 peach slices and more jam. Follow this with another layer of the cream, a drizzle of jam and finally the raspberries. Can be chilled for up to 5 hrs. Scatter over the hazelnuts and serve with biscotti or amaretti biscuits on the side.
