Peach And Blueberry Mini Crostatas Recipes

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.

PEACH AND BLUEBERRY CRUMBLES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Immerse the peaches in boiling water for 30 seconds to 1 minute, until their skins peel off easily. Place them immediately in cold water. Peel the peaches, slice them into thick wedges, and place them in a large bowl. Add the lemon zest, lemon juice, granulated sugar, and flour. Toss well. Gently mix in the blueberries. Allow the mixture to sit for 5 minutes. Spoon the mixture into ramekins or custard cups.
• For the topping, combine the flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, salt, cinnamon, and the butter in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with a paddle attachment. Mix on low speed until the butter is the size of peas. Rub the mixture with your fingertips until it's in big crumbles, then sprinkle evenly over the fruit. Place the ramekins on a sheet pan lined with parchment paper and bake for 40 to 45 minutes, until the tops are browned and crisp and the juices are bubbly. Serve warm or at room temperature.
• If you want to make these early, store the unbaked crumbles in the refrigerator and bake before dinner.
