The Easiest Peach Raspberry Pie With Press In Crust Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat an oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C).
• Mix raspberries, peaches, 1 cup sugar, and flour in a large bowl.
• Press one pie crust into a pie dish; pour fruit mixture into pie crust. Sprinkle remaining 1/3 cup sugar over fruit.
• Cut designs in the second pie crust using a cookie cutter and arrange pie crust over fruit. Pinch the edges of the bottom and top crusts together to seal.
• Bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes. Reduce oven temperature to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C) and continue baking until crust is golden brown and fruit filling is bubbly, about 35 minutes more.

Steps:

• Make the crust and crumb topping:
• Whisk 2 1/2 cups flour, salt, and 1 Tbsp. sugar in a large bowl. Drizzle in butter. Stir just to combine but do not fully incorporate. Texture should be crumbly with some large clumps.
• Transfer 1 1/4 cups (loosely packed) crust mixture to a medium bowl; add cinnamon and remaining 3 Tbsp. sugar. Knead with fingertips until well-combined but still crumbly with a few pea-sized pieces remaining. Freeze until ready to use.
• Add vinegar and 2 Tbsp. cold water to remaining crust mixture. Stir to form a dough, then transfer to a lightly floured surface and knead a few times until the texture is smooth. Transfer to pie pan and press into bottom and up sides with a flat-bottomed measuring cup. Crimp edge with a floured fork, if desired, and freeze while you prepare the filling.
• Make the filling and bake the pie:
• Position 1 rack in bottom third and 1 rack in center of oven; preheat to 425°F. Place a foil-lined rimmed baking sheet on bottom rack to preheat.
• Slice peaches into 1/4-inch-thick wedges, then transfer to a large bowl. Add raspberries, sugar, cornstarch, vanilla, and salt and toss well to combine. Fill pie crust with fruit mixture, then sprinkle with crumb topping.
• Place pie on preheated sheet and bake until crust begins to turn golden, 20-25 minutes. Rotate sheet, move to center rack, and reduce oven temperature to 350°F. Continue to bake pie until crust is golden brown and thickened juices are bubbling, 35-45 minutes more; cover crust with foil or a pie shield if it begins to darken too much before juices are bubbling. Cool on a wire rack at least 2 hours to allow juices to set before slicing.
• Do Ahead
• Pie dough and crumb topping can be made and frozen for up to 3 months; thaw before using.

Steps:

• Make the dough: In a large bowl, mix together flour, salt and sugar to combine. Add cubed butter, then pinch and squeeze the butter cubes (or use a pastry blender) until the largest pieces are the size of lima beans. Drizzle in water a little at a time, mixing until the dough starts to come together into a mass, but leaving some floury bits at the bottom of the bowl. You may not need all the water, or you may need to add more water if dough doesn't come together.
• Transfer dough to a lightly floured surface and press and lightly knead it together into 2 smooth balls, one slightly larger than the other. Flatten into disks, wrap in plastic wrap, and chill for 1 hour or up to 5 days.
• Heat oven to 375 degrees. Place a 9-inch pie pan on a baking sheet. On a floured surface, roll out larger ball of dough to a 12-inch circle, then drape it over the pie pan and press it into the bottom edges and along the sides. Chill in refrigerator.
• Roll second ball of dough out to an 11-inch circle about 1/4-inch thick. Cut dough into 1-inch strips and reserve. (If it's cool in your kitchen, leave the strips on the counter. If it's warm, transfer them to a rimmed baking sheet and chill until needed.)
• In a small bowl, stir together raspberry jam and melted butter.
• In a large bowl, stir together sugars, tapioca, nutmeg, lemon zest and salt. Toss in peaches, then gently fold in raspberries.
• In a small bowl, lightly beat egg with 1 tablespoon water to make an egg wash. Brush on bottom and sides of pie dough in the pan, then spoon filling into pie pan, mounding it slightly in the center. Drizzle with jam-butter mixture.
• Use dough strips to create a lattice top, then fold and crimp the edges. Brush with more egg wash, place pie pan on a rimmed baking sheet, and bake until crust is golden and filling is bubbly, 60 to 75 minutes. Let cool to room temperature, at least 4 hours. (If you don't want to wait, that's fine, but filling will be runnier.)

Steps:

• Divide dough in half. On a lightly floured surface with a lightly floured rolling pin roll out 1 piece of dough 1/4 inch thick (about a 15-inch round), keeping remaining piece of dough chilled. Transfer round to a large baking sheet and chill, covered. Roll out and chill remaining dough in same manner and stack it on top of first round. Chill pastry rounds, loosely covered with plastic wrap, 15 minutes.
• Cut an X in blossom end of each peach. Have ready a large bowl of ice and cold water. Fill a 5-quart kettle three fourths full with water and bring to a boil. Working in batches, blanch peaches 15 seconds and transfer with a slotted spoon to ice water. Slip skins from peaches and, working over a large bowl to catch the juices, cut peaches into 1/2-inch-thick wedges. Gently toss peaches with sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice, vanilla, and raspberries until combined well.
• With a spoon divide filling between two 9-inch (1-quart) glass pie plates, mounding fruit. Juice should reach no higher than 1/4 inch below rim of each pie plate. With spoon remove excess juice from pie plates and discard.
• In a small bowl whisk eggs and evenly brush onto tops and undersides of pie plate rims. Cover each pie with a pastry round and trim pastry with scissors, leaving a 1/2-inch overhang and, if desired, reserving scraps for decorations. Brush undersides of overhang with some egg and press overhang onto and under rims of pie plates to seal. Chill pies until pastry is firm, about 20 minutes. Preheat oven to 425°F.
• On a lightly floured surface with a lightly floured rolling pin roll out reserved pastry scraps 1/4 inch thick and with a sharp small knife cut out 2 decorations (such as the family initial), transferring to a plate. Chill decorations 15 minutes.
• Line 2 jelly-roll pans with foil.
• Brush crusts evenly with some egg and arrange decorations in centers, pressing lightly to adhere. With a sharp knife cut three 3/4-inch-long slits on top of each pie to form steam vents. Brush decorations with some egg and transfer pies to jelly-roll pans (to catch drips). Bake pies in upper and lower thirds of oven, staggering pans if possible on oven racks and switching position of pans halfway through baking, about 1 to 1 1/4 hours total, or until pastry is golden brown and cooked through. (If pastry gets too brown too quickly, tent pies with foil).
• Let pies stand on racks to set juices at least 1 1/2 hours before serving. Pies may be made 1 day ahead and kept, loosely covered, at room temperature. If desired, reheat pies, uncovered, in a 350°F. oven.
