Best 4 Top Crust Peach And Cardamom Pie Recipes

FRESH PEACH AND CARDAMOM PIE

Steps:

• Make the pastry by incorporating the flour, salt and baking powder in a bowl.
• Add the cream cheese and rub through with your hands until it resembles rough sand.
• Add the butter cubes and gently break them up but not as fine as the cream cheese, you still want large chunks of butter to be visible.
• Add the water and vinegar and gently mix together until the dough starts to form a ball. You can add a tiny bit more water if it remains too dry.
• Cover the dough with plastic wrap and let it rest in the fridge for 30 minutes.
• Transfer the sliced peaches to a large bowl. Add the sugar, lemon juice and salt and toss well. Let sit for about 25 minutes.
• Afterwards transfer the peach slices to a colander set upon a pan to collect the peach juices.
• Lightly butter a 9 inch pie pan and set aside. Preheat the oven to 425 degrees.
• Heat the juice over a medium heat until it has reduced to about a third of a cup. Set aside.
• Take the dough from the fridge and cut into two evenly sized pieces. Roll one piece out to fit your baking dish including a slight overhang at the sides.
• Once the pie shell has been fitted into the dish, add the cornstarch and cardamom to the peaches and toss gently covering all of the fruit. Transfer the fruit to the pie shell and cover with the reduced peach juice.
• Take the second piece of pie dough and roll it out big enough to cover the top of the pie.
• Lightly wet the edges of the pie and lay the pie lid on top of the peaches.
• Carefully tuck the dough into the sides of the dish and crimp the sides with your fingers sealing the pie.
• Take a sharp pointed knife and make some vent holes in the center of the pie.
• Put the pie back into the fridge and let it rest for about another 30 minutes.
• Just before the pie goes into the oven, beat the egg and cream together. Using a pastry brush, glaze the pie with the mixture.
• Place the pie in the oven and bake for at least 50 minutes and the fruit starts to bubble.
• Cool for at least 3-4 hours or overnight before slicing.

SUMMER PEACH PIE WITH VANILLA AND CARDAMOM

Steps:

• Position rack in bottom third of oven and preheat to 400°F. Combine 2/3 cup sugar and vanilla bean in processor; blend until vanilla bean is very finely minced. Sift vanilla sugar through strainer into large bowl; discard any large bits in strainer. Mix flour and cardamom into vanilla sugar. Add peaches to flour-sugar mixture and toss gently to coat.
• Roll out 1 pie crust disk on floured surface to 12-inch round. Transfer to 9-inch-diameter glass pie dish. Trim dough overhang to 1/2 inch. Spoon peach mixture into crust; dot with butter. Roll out second pie crust disk on lightly floured surface to 12-inch round. Drape dough over peach filling; trim overhang to 1 1/2 inches. Fold top and bottom edges under, pressing together to seal. Crimp edges decoratively. Using small sharp knife, cut 2-inch-long X in center of top crust to allow steam to escape. Brush crust lightly with whipping cream; sprinkle with remaining 2 teaspoons sugar.
• Place pie on rimmed baking sheet. Bake until crust is golden, peaches are tender, and juices bubble thickly through cut in top crust, about 1 hour 15 minutes. Transfer pie to rack and cool until lukewarm, about 2 hours.
• Serve pie lukewarm or at room temperature with vanilla ice cream.

SPICED PEACH PIE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Slowly sprinkle flour into a large bowl, a tiny bit at a time. Mix in sugar and salt. Cut in shortening until sort of smooth.
• Mix milk and oil together in a measuring cup. Make a well in the center of the flour mixture and pour oil mixture in slowly, stirring to combine.
• Separate dough smoothly into 2 balls, trying not to knead. Chill for 30 minutes.
• Roll out dough balls into 10-inch circles. Press 1 circle into a 9-inch pie pan as evenly as possible, but don't worry about messy edges. Reserve remaining circle for the top.
• Slice all but one peach into coarse chunks, removing skins as you go. Don't worry about removing all the skin. Toss with brown sugar, white sugar, lemon juice, and vanilla extract. Remove 2 1/2 spoonfuls of liquid from the bottom so it isn't soggy.
• Mix flour, cornstarch, 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, cardamom, allspice, cayenne, and salt together in a separate bowl.
• Mix peaches with flour mixture until combined. Pour into the pie crust. If it's too much liquid, hold some back. Slice the remaining peach very thinly and lay in a pinwheel design over the filling. Dot butter over the top.
• Lay the top crust gently over the top. Dip a fork in the beaten egg and use it crimp the edges to seal. Brush remaining egg over the top. Sprinkle with 1 pinch cinnamon and cut a few slits in the top.
• Bake in the preheated oven for 35 minutes. Increase temperature to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C) and continue to bake until golden brown, about 10 minutes more. Remove from the oven and let cool at least 1 1/2 hours before slicing and serving.

PEACH PIE THE OLD FASHIONED TWO CRUST WAY

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F (220 degrees C).
• Line the bottom and sides of a 9 inch pie plate with one of the pie crusts. Brush with some of the beaten egg to keep the dough from becoming soggy later.
• Place the sliced peaches in a large bowl, and sprinkle with lemon juice. Mix gently. In a separate bowl, mix together the flour, sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg and salt. Pour over the peaches, and mix gently. Pour into the pie crust, and dot with butter. Cover with the other pie crust, and fold the edges under. Flute the edges to seal or press the edges with the tines of a fork dipped in egg. Brush the remaining egg over the top crust. Cut several slits in the top crust to vent steam.
• Bake for 10 minutes in the preheated oven, then reduce the heat to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) and bake for an additional 30 to 35 minutes, until the crust is brown and the juice begins to bubble through the vents. If the edges brown to fast, cover them with strips of aluminum foil about halfway through baking. Cool before serving. This tastes better warm than hot.
