Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
• In large bowl, combine peaches, plums, 3/4 cup sugar, cornstarch and zest; mix well.
• On lightly floured surface, brush 1 phyllo sheet with a little butter; sprinkle with 1/2 t sugar.
• Layer with remaining phyllo, one sheet at a time, and butter and sugar, turning 2 1/2 inch from each previous sheet to created overlapping circle.
• Transfer to a 9-inch pie pan, pressing to fit into pan and allowing edges of phyllo to overhang edge of pan.
• Sprinkle amaretti crumbs over bottom of crust.
• Top with fruit mixture.
• Bring overhanging phyllo up and over fruit to make ruffled border.
• Bake on baking sheet 1 hour, 15 minutes or until bubbly and golden, covering with foil after 30 minutes.
• Cool completely on rack.
• If desired, sprinkle with confectioners' sugar and serve with whipped cream.

Steps:

• Make the crust: Whisk the all-purpose flour, whole-wheat flour, granulated sugar, cinnamon and salt in a large bowl. Work in the butter until it is in pea-size pieces. Mix the sour cream with 3 tablespoons ice water, then stir into the flour mixture with a fork. Turn out the dough onto a piece of plastic wrap, press into a disk and wrap. Refrigerate 2 hours. Roll out the dough on a floured surface into a 12-inch circle. Place on a baking sheet and refrigerate 30 minutes.
• Preheat the oven to 400˚ F. Make the filling: Toss the peaches and plums with the granulated sugar, cornstarch and lemon juice. Arrange the fruit over the dough, leaving a 1 1/2-inch border. Fold in the edge of the dough, pleating as needed.
• Bake the galette: Brush the edge of the dough with beaten egg and sprinkle with coarse sugar. Bake until golden and bubbling, 45 to 50 minutes.

Steps:

• For the crust: Combine the flour, granulated sugar and salt in a food processor and mix until combined. Add the butter and pulse until evenly combined and the size of small pebbles. Pour in the vinegar and pulse 1 to 2 times until just combined. With the food processor running, slowly pour in the cold water, adding just enough for the dough to form a ball. You may not need the entire 1/3 cup of water.
• Remove the dough from the food processor and form it into a ball. Cut off about a third of the ball so you have a small piece (about 10 ounces) and a larger piece (about 1 pound 6 ounces; see Cook's Note). Form both pieces of dough into discs, wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours.
• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Spray a baking sheet very lightly with cooking spray.
• Dust a work surface lightly with flour. Roll the larger disc of dough into a rectangle that is 2 inches larger on all sides than the baking sheet. Roll the dough onto the rolling pin and then unfold it over the baking sheet, gently guiding the dough into the baking sheet and lightly pressing it into the corners, sides and bottom. Refrigerate while you prepare the rest of the pie.
• Lightly dust the work surface with flour and roll out the smaller disc of dough into a 20-by-12-inch rectangle. Place a ruler along the 12-inch side of the dough and make a mark with a pizza cutter every 1/2 inch. Turn the ruler along each mark and use it as a guide to cut a straight line, making twelve 1/2-inch strips that are 20 inches long. Transfer the strips of dough to a baking sheet, laying them diagonally so they fit and dusting the strips with flour as you lay them down. Refrigerate while you make the filling so the dough does not begin to stick together.
• For the filling: In a large bowl, mix together the plums, granulated sugar, cornstarch, almond extract, orange zest and juice, cinnamon, ginger and salt, making sure the plums are evenly coated. Let sit no more than 5 minutes.
• To assemble: Evenly spread the filling over the crust on the baking sheet. Lay one of the dough strips diagonally across the baking sheet from one corner to the other. Repeat laying strips parallel to the first piece evenly across the rest of the pie. You can cut strips down to size as you work your way towards the end of the pie, making sure to leave a bit of overhang on both sides.
• Take every other strip of dough and fold it back over itself so that it exposes a little more than half of the filling. Lay a long strip of dough in the opposite direction, going diagonally from one corner to the other. Fold the dough strips back down and you will begin to see a lattice form. Fold back every other strip of dough that you didn't fold back before, and then lay another strip of dough diagonally across the pie, working towards a corner. Continue this process until half the pie has a lattice top. Then rotate the pan and repeat the same process on the other side to finish the lattice.
• Fold the dough hanging over the sides of the pie up and over the edge, tucking the ends of the strips from the lattice top inside. This will ensure the strips of dough stay anchored to the edges of the pie. Crimp the edges of the dough using your pointer fingers and thumb to pinch the dough together.
• Whisk together the heavy cream and egg and brush evenly over the lattice top and edges of the pie. Sprinkle the entire pie with turbinado sugar and bake until the crust is a deep golden brown and bubbles form towards the middle of the pie, about 1 hour and 10 minutes. Let cool completely, at least 40 minutes.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
• In a small container, mix cornstarch with 4 tablespoons of syrup from the peaches.
• In a large bowl, combine cornstarch mixture, peaches, plums, pears, maraschino cherries, almonds, raisins, brown sugar, cinnamon and nutmeg.
• Pour into a shallow 2-1/2 quart casserole.
• In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt.
• Cut in the cold shortening until mixture is coarse; stir in the sour cream until blended.
• On a floured surface, toss the dough lightly to coat with flour.
• Knead/roll the dough 8-10 times with a floured rolling pin.
• Roll it carefully into a 1/2" thick shape slightly smaller than the casserole, trimming the edges if necessary.
• Cut a 2" circle in the center or use a small cookie cutter to cut a decorative design or two near the center.
• Carefully place this pastry dough on top of the fruit mixture, with the edge of the dough NOT touching the sides of the baking dish.
• Brush top lightly with milk and sprinkle with sugar.
• Bake about 40 to 45 minutes or until the pastry is a dark golden brown.
• Cool at least 25 minutes before serving.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
• Place plums into a bowl and stir in sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice, vanilla extract, and almond extract with a rubber spatula. Spoon into a prepared pie shell.
• Bake in the preheated oven until bubbly and crust is golden brown, 35 to 40 minutes. Let cool for 10 minutes before serving.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Butter a 9-inch square baking pan.
• Beat 1 cup sugar and 1 stick butter together using an electric mixer until light and fluffy. Add eggs, 1 at a time, beating after each addition. Add yogurt and vanilla extract; mix until batter is smooth. Add flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt to the batter and mix until just combined. Combine remaining 1/2 cup sugar and cinnamon in a separate bowl.
• Spread batter evenly into the prepared pan and sprinkle with 1/2 of the cinnamon-sugar mixture. Top batter with plums and peaches; sprinkle with remaining cinnamon-sugar mixture.
• Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 45 minutes to 1 hour, making sure not to overbake. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350°F. In a bowl, toss peaches and plums with granulated sugar, cornstarch, juice, cinnamon and salt; add to pie pan with crust; dot with butter. Roll out round of dough; cut into 3/4-inch-wide strips. Carefully weave strips over filling, forming a lattice. Trim overhanging dough to 1 inch; roll overhang back on itself, pinching at 1/2-inch intervals, to form a crimped edge. Sprinkle raw sugar over pie. Bake until fruit bubbles and crust is golden, 65 minutes. Let cool.

Steps:

• Stir together peaches, granulated sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice, and salt in a large bowl to combine.
• On a lightly floured surface, roll out one disk of pate brisee to 1/8-inch thickness and at least 13 inches in diameter. Roll dough around rolling pin and unroll it over a 9-inch glass pie plate, pressing gently to fit into plate. Fill with peach mixture. Dot with butter. Roll out remaining disk of dough in the same manner. Drape over filling. Use kitchen shears to trim overhang under, and crimp edges. With thumb and index finger of one hand, gently press dough against index finger of other hand. Continue around pie. Use a paring knife to make several vents in the top crust. Refrigerate pie 20 minutes.
• Preheat oven to 400 degrees with the rack in the lower third. Place chilled pie on a rimmed baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Whisk egg yolk and cream in a small bowl; brush over top crust. Sprinkle with sanding sugar. Place in oven and bake 10 minutes; reduce heat to 375 degrees. Continue baking until bottom and top crusts are golden and juices are bubbling in center, 50 to 80 minutes. Tent pie with foil if browning too quickly.
• Transfer pie to a wire rack; let cool completely, at least 4 hours, or up to overnight. If keeping pie overnight, tent loosely with foil and store at room temperature; do not refrigerate, which makes crust soggy.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400°F. Combine cornstarch, lime zest, salt, and 1/3 cup sugar in a medium bowl. Toss with your hands to combine, then add fruit and toss to coat. Add lime juice, vanilla, and ginger (if using); toss gently.
• Arrange fruit mixture in the center of chilled dough (still on parchment on baking sheet) and spread out evenly, leaving a 3" border. Fold edges of dough up and over fruit, pleating as needed and being careful that folded edge of dough doesn't tear (if it does, patch with dough scraps and pinch to seal). Pour cream into a small bowl and brush all over dough. Sprinkle sugar evenly over dough.
• Place galette in oven and immediately reduce heat to 375°F. Bake, rotating halfway through, until crust is deep golden brown everywhere, fruit is softened, and juices are bubbling, 45-50 minutes. Let galette cool 2 hours before serving.
• Serve galette with whipped cream or ice cream if desired.
