Peach Pie Filling




Source of Recipe


USA Weekend


List of Ingredients




1 recipe for As-Easy-as-It-Gets Pie Dough
6 cups peeled and sliced ripe peaches (about 6 large or 11 medium, totaling 3 pounds)
3/4 cup plus 2 Tbs. granulated sugar (plus an additional 1 1/2 Tbs. for finishing crust)
3 Tbs. potato starch, potato flour or arrowroot*
Pinch of salt
1/2 tsp. almond extract
1 Tb. butter, cut into small pieces
1 egg white, beaten

Recipe



When ready to bake the pie, place peaches in a large colander. Sprinkle with 2 Tbs. sugar and let stand until almost 1/2 cup juice is released, about 30 minutes.

Adjust oven rack to lowest position and place four 9-inch unglazed quarry tiles on rack to form an 18-inch square.

(A pizza stone will work, too.) Preheat oven to 400 degrees and let tiles heat for at least 30 minutes.

Roll larger dough disk on a floured work surface into a 13-inch circle. Fold dough in half, setting pie plate next to fold line. Quickly lift dough into pie plate and unfold. Press dough into pan sides with other hand so that dough fits in pan. Trim excess. Refrigerate pie shell while preparing filling.

Mix 3/4 cup sugar with potato starch and salt. Add to peaches, along with almond extract; toss to combine.

Roll out remaining dough to a 12-inch circle.

Add fruit filling to pie shell and dot with butter.

Fold dough circle in half, setting filled pie shell next to fold line. Quickly lift dough into pie plate and unfold. Trim all around to a half-inch beyond lip of pan. Roll overhanging dough under with fingertips so it is flush with lip of pan. Flute dough edge all around.

Set an 18-inch square of heavy-duty foil on tiles or pizza stone. Set pie on foil and bake for 20 minutes. Remove pie from oven, brush with beaten egg white, sprinkle with 1 1/2 Tbs. sugar. Bake until golden brown, about 20 minutes longer. Bring foil around pie to loosely cover. Bake until filling bubbles, 15-20 minutes longer. Cool on a wire rack, 2-3 hours.

*Note: Find powder-fine potato starch or potato flour in the kosher or health-food aisle.
