Best 6 Individual Peach Crostatas Recipes

PEACH CROSTATA

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Roll the pie crust out into a big circle, about 12 inches in diameter. Don't worry if it's not a perfect circle. Transfer the pie crust onto a rimmed baking sheet, then keep in the freezer or fridge while you work on the peaches.
• Cut the peaches into quarters, then cut the quarters into quarters, for a total of 16 slices per peach. Discard the pits.
• Toss the peaches in a big mixing bowl with the brown sugar, cinnamon, spiced rum, vanilla extract, lemon juice, and flour. Set this mixture aside.
• Dump the peaches, along with any of the liquid in the bowl, onto the center of the rolled out pie crust, leaving a 2 inch rim on all sides of the peaches.
• Distribute the peaches as necessary to form into a relatively flat layer (it's okay to have the peaches piled up on top of each other).
• Gently fold the sides of the pie crust up and over the peaches, then brush the crust with heavy cream.
• Sprinkle turbinado sugar all over the heavy cream brushed pie crust.
• Bake the crostata for about 40 minutes until the edges are golden brown and the peaches are bubbling. Serve warm with a big scoop of ice cream, if desired. Enjoy!

FRESH PEACH CROSTATA

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 325°F. Bring a small pot of water to a boil over high heat. Using a small, sharp knife, cut a small "x" into the skin at the bottom of each peach. Place the peaches in boiling water for 20 seconds. Pour into a colander and rinse under cool running water. Starting at the "x," peel the skin from the peaches and discard. Slice the peaches and place in a small bowl, sprinkling with the 3 tablespoons sugar and set aside.
• In a medium bowl, combine the remaining 5 tablespoons sugar with the flour, Earth Balance, nutmeg, and almond extract. Using your fingers, rub the mixture together until incorporated and set aside.
• Dust a clean work surface with flour. Roll the pastry dough out into a circle about 13 inches across, trimming the edges so they are even. Transfer the dough to a sheet of parchment paper. Spread two-thirds of the sugar-flour mixture on the bottom of the crust, leaving a 2-inch border around the edge. Place two-thirds of the peaches over the flour mixture. Sprinkle the remaining flour mixture over the peaches. Add the remaining peaches on top. Fold the outer edge of the pastry dough in over the crostata to create a crust, pinching excess dough to secure.
• Leaving the crostata on the parchment paper, transfer to a baking sheet. Sprinkle the sliced almonds on top and bake until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly, about 50 minutes. Remove from the oven and allow to cool on a wire rack for at least 10 minutes before serving. Serve hot, warm, or at room temperature.

PEACH AND BLUEBERRY MINI CROSTATAS

Steps:

• 1. Make pastry. Combine flour, sugar and salt in large bowl. Add butter, using pastry tool or hands to combine butter into the dry ingredients until it resembles course crumbles. Make a well and add egg yolk and 2 Tbsp of ice water. Combine with hands to bind the dough. The dough should hold together, but you don't want it to be wet or sticky. Continue to add ice water by the tablespoons until the dough holds together. Form into a disk. Wrap with saran wrap and refrigerated for at least 30 minutes.
• 2. Prepare filling. Combine peaches, blueberries, orange zest, orange juice, and flour in large bowl. Refrigerate until dough is ready.
• 3. When ready, remove dough. Cut into 8 same size pieces. Dust counter or mat with flour and roll each piece of dough out into a rough circle shape (probably about 6"). Egg wash the entire surface of the dough circle. Place 1/8 of your peach mixture into the center of the dough and fold up edges so that there is just a small opening on top.
• 4. Place completed crostatas onto a foil-lined cookie sheet and chill for about 1 hour. When ready, remove from fridge and brush with egg wash and then sprinkle with sugar. Bake at 400 degrees for about 20-25 minutes or until dough has puffed slighted and turned golden brown. Allow to cool for 10 minutes on baking sheet before removing. Serve warm or at room temperature.
