Best 6 Vanilla Nectarine Pie Recipes

NECTARINE PIE

Steps:

• To prepare the dough, place the flour, sugar and salt in a food processor. Pulse the dry ingredients several times to mix.
• Add the butter and pulse the machine until the mixture looks like coarse cornmeal (a few larger pieces of butter are fine).
• With the machine running, add the water and mix until the dough just begins to come together. It will still be very crumbly but should form dough when pressed together.
• Divide the dough into 1/3 and 2/3 portions, wrap in plastic wrap and flatten into round discs. Place in the refrigerator for a minimum of 1 hour (up to 48 hours).
• Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Fill a separate large bowl with ice water. On the bottom of each nectarine, slice a 1-inch X shape (the goal is to cut the skin, not the fruit). Using a slotted spoon, carefully add a few of the nectarines to the boiling water. After 30 seconds to 1 minute you should see the skin separating slightly from the fruit. Use the slotted spoon to move the nectarines into the ice water bath. Repeat with the remaining nectarines.
• Peel the skin from the nectarines (discard the skins). If any of the skins are stubborn, use a small paring knife to assist in the peeling. Slice the fruit in half and remove the pits. Place the nectarines flat side down and cut into thin slices. Place the sliced nectarines in a large bowl and toss with the lemon juice.
• In a small bowl, stir together the sugars, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt and cornstarch. Add to the nectarines, stirring to combine. Set aside.
• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
• On a generously floured surface, roll out the larger portion of dough to about 12-13 inches in diameter (flour the top of the dough as well). Carefully place in a 9 1/2 inch pie pan. There should be a slight overhang. Add the nectarine filling.
• Re-flour the surface and roll out the smaller portion of dough to approximately 10 inches in diameter. Use a pizza slicer to cut 8 even strips. Layer the strips in a decorative lattice pattern. Cut off any excess overhang from the strips and then fold the bottom overhang over the strips. Use a fork to gently crimp the edge of the crust all around.
• Brush the milk or cream evenly over the dough and sprinkle with the turbinado sugar (this will add a nice crunch).
• Place the pie pan on a baking sheet and place in the oven. Cook for 20 minutes and then lower the oven temperature to 375 degrees F. Bake for an additional 35-40 minutes, or until the crust is brown and the filling is bubbly.
• Allow to cool completely to room temperature before slicing (the filling will thicken as it cools).

NECTARINE PIE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Grind the whole crackers in food processor until they turn into fine crumbs and pour in melted butter through feed tube; process until moistened. (Or combine cracker crumbs and butter in a medium-size bowl and mix until moistened.) Pat half of the crumb mixture over the bottom and up the sides of a deep 9- to 10- inch pie plate or springform pan.
• Cut the fruit in half and remove pits. Arrange pitted side up on the crust. If using frozen peaches, scatter evenly over the crust.
• Combine the sour cream, sugar, eggs and vanilla in a food processor and process until smooth. (Or combine in a bowl and whisk until blended.) Pour the filling over the fruit and sprinkle with the remaining crumb mixture. Bake 40 minutes, until puffed and set in center (If using frozen peaches, 20 minutes more.) Cool to room temperature, cover and refrigerate until chilled.

NECTARINE PIE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (205 degrees C). Place a large pot of water over high heat, and bring to a boil.
• Combine sugar, flour, cinnamon, heavy cream and almond extract. Set aside.
• Place the nectarines in boiling water for 30 to 45 seconds. Immediately place nectarines under cold running water and remove skins. Cut nectarines in half and remove pits. Place halves in the pie shell with the cut side down. Pour the cream mixture around the nectarines.
• Bake at 400 degrees F (205 degrees C) for 35 to 40 minutes. Good served warm or cold.

NECTARINE AND BLUEBERRY GALETTE

Steps:

• Heat oven to 400 degrees, and position a rack in the lower third of the oven. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Combine sugar, lemon zest and vanilla in a large bowl. Use your fingertips to rub the zest and seeds (or extract) into the sugar. Add the flour and salt and stir to combine. Add the nectarines, blueberries and lemon juice, but don't stir quite yet.
• On a lightly floured surface, roll dough into a 12-inch round just under 1/4-inch thick. Transfer the dough to the prepared baking sheet.
• Stir the filling to combine, then pile all the fruit in the center of the dough, leaving a 2-inch border. Press the fruit gently to make sure there are no large open pockets. Fold the edges of the dough up and over the fruit and press gently to seal the folds.
• Put the whole baking sheet into the freezer, and chill the formed galette until the dough is very firm, about 15 minutes. Brush dough with the beaten egg, and sprinkle with sugar and salt. Bake until deep golden brown and the juices are bubbling, about 45 minutes. Cool slightly before serving.

NECTARINE-BERRY PIE

Steps:

• In large bowl,combine nectarine slices, berries,sugar,cornstarch and vanilla.
• Stir until fruit is coated.
• Pour filling into one of the pie shells and invert the second pie shell over it.
• Crimp edges and press with fork to seal.
• Cut holes in top crust so steam can escape.
• Place a baking sheet on lower rack of oven to catch juices.
• Set pie on middle rack.
• Bake at 350 degrees for 45 minutes.
• Brush top crust with beaten egg and sprinkle with sugar.
• Bake 15 minutes longer.

APPLE AND NECTARINE PIE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Grease a 9-inch deep-dish pie plate.
• Combine apple peels, white sugar, brown sugar, water, brandy, cinnamon, and vanilla extract in a saucepan; bring to a boil. Reduce temperature and simmer until fragrant, about 5 minutes. Remove apple peels with a fork.
• Roll 1 crust into a 12-inch circle; place in the prepared pie plate. Roll out second crust into a 10-inch circle. Cut a few slits in the center to vent steam.
• Mix corn muffin mix and milk in a bowl. Pour into pie plate.
• Bake in the preheated oven for 5 to 8 minutes. Remove from oven. Layer apple slices and nectarine slices on top. Pour sugar mixture slowly over fruit; cover with second crust. Press crusts together to seal; flute edges.
• Bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes. Reduce heat to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Continue baking until top crust is golden brown, 35 to 45 minutes. Let cool to room temperature before slicing, about 1 hour.
