Steps:
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Combine peaches, cornstarch, lemon juice, and 3/4 teaspoon salt in a large bowl. Mix together brown sugar and vanilla seeds; stir into peach mixture, and pour into a 2-quart, 11-inch quiche dish or shallow baking dish. Dot top with butter.
- Roll out dough to 1/8-inch thickness on a lightly floured surface. Drape dough over fruit, and trim edges to 1 inch. fold under dough, and tuck into dish to form a crust. Cut five 3-inch vents into the top. Brush top with egg, and sprinkle with sanding sugar.
- Bake until juices are bubbling through vents and top is golden brown, about 1 hour. Let cool on a wire rack for at least 1 hour before serving.

Steps:
- For the crust: Combine the flour, cornmeal, and salt in a food processor and pulse to combine. Add the butter and pulse just until it resembles coarse crumbs.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the egg yolk and 2 tablespoons ice water. With the processor running, drizzle in the yolk mixture. The dough should just come together. If it looks dry add more water, up to 4 tablespoons.
- Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead until it comes together; it will be stiffer than a regular pie crust because of the cornmeal. Divide into four pieces, press into discs, and wrap in plastic wrap. Refrigerate for 30 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
- For the filling: Toss the potatoes, yam, parsnips, celery and mushrooms with 4 tablespoons oil.
- Season with salt and pepper and spread evenly on a baking sheet. Roast, tossing once halfway through, until golden brown, about 20 to 25 minutes. You don't want to cook these all the way though since they will cook more in the pot pie. (They should be al dente, but starting to get some color.)
- Combine the flour and remaining 4 tablespoons oil in a saucepan over medium heat and cook until smooth and bubbly like pancake batter, about 3 minutes. Whisk in the mushroom broth. Simmer until thick enough to coat the back of a spoon. Season to taste and remove from the heat.
- Add the roasted veggies to the mushroom broth along with the peas, thyme, rosemary and sherry vinegar. Divide the filling among four 8-ounce ramekins.
- Remove the dough from the fridge and roll each into a 5-inch disc. Wet the rim each ramekin and lay a crust over the top. Poke each 5 or 6 times with a fork and place in the oven. Bake until the crust is golden brown, about 20 to 25 minutes.
Tips:
- Choose ripe peaches: Use ripe, juicy peaches for the best flavor. If the peaches are not ripe, they will be sour and the potpie will not be as good.
- Use a variety of peaches: Feel free to use a variety of peach varieties in your potpie. This will give the potpie a more complex flavor.
- Don't overcook the peaches: Cook the peaches just until they are tender. Overcooked peaches will be mushy and will not hold their shape in the potpie.
- Use a good quality cornmeal: Use a good quality cornmeal for the crust. This will help ensure that the crust is crispy and flavorful.
- Don't overwork the dough: Do not overwork the dough for the crust. Overworking the dough will make it tough.
- Chill the dough before baking: Chill the dough for the crust before baking. This will help the crust to hold its shape and prevent it from shrinking.
- Serve the potpie hot: Serve the peach potpie hot out of the oven. This will ensure that the crust is crispy and the filling is hot and bubbly.
Conclusion:
Peach potpie is a delicious and easy-to-make dessert. It is perfect for a summer potluck or picnic. The combination of sweet peaches, creamy filling, and crispy cornmeal crust is sure to please everyone. So next time you have a lot of ripe peaches, try making this peach potpie. You won't be disappointed!
