Peach Blackberry Pie Ice Cream Recipes

BLACKBERRY PEACH PIE

Steps:

• Prepare the Pie Dough (Morning Before Serving or Prepped the Day Before): Combine the all-purpose flour, sugar, and salt in the bowl of a stand mixer. Note: If you do not own a stand mixer, you can prepare the dough in a large food processor or by hand using a pastry cutter.
• Using the paddle attachment, mix the dry ingredients for 5 to 10 seconds over low speed. Over low speed, slowly add the cold cubed unsalted butter, a few pieces at a time, until the butter has broken into a mixture of larger and smaller size pieces (similar to 'broken walnut pieces'). Add the vinegar and slowly add the ice water (you will most likely need to use all of it or a touch more, but this will depend on humidity) until the dough just barely holds together. It will look relatively dry and shaggy in the bowl, but if the dough can hold together when squeezed with your palm, it is ready.
• Transfer the pie to a large gallon-size Ziplock bag (this helps lessen the warmth from your hands from transferring to the dough) and using the open ends and sides of the bag, press the dough together into a ball using the heels of your hand.
• Remove the pie dough from the bag and using a sharp knife, cut the dough into two equal-sized pieces. Flatten each piece into a round disc and wrap tightly in plastic wrap. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours or, ideally, overnight.
• Blanch the Peaches, Shape Pie Dough, and Preheat the Oven: Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C) with a rack in the center position. Line a half sheet pan with parchment paper or foil. Set aside.
• Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Set aside a large ice bath near the stove. Using a paring knife, make a small shallow 'X' incision onto the bottom of each peach and carefully drop into the boiling water. Allow the peaches to blanch for roughly a minute (depending on the ripeness of your peaches) or until the skins begin to slightly peel away from the flesh. Using a skimmer or large spoon, transfer the peaches to the ice bath (this will prevent them from cooking any further) until cool enough to handle. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate and set aside.
• Meanwhile, remove one disc of chilled pie dough from the fridge. Allow it to sit at room temperature for 5 to 10 minutes. On a well-floured countertop and using a lightly floured rolling pin, roll the dough until it roughly a 12-inch disc that is roughly ⅛-inch thick. Lift and transfer to a 9-inch pie pan (equipment note: I recommend heavy ceramic) pressing it into the edges of the pan without stretching the dough. Using a knife or kitchen scissors, trim any remaining dough overhang to just one inch. Brush off any excess flour with a pastry brush and place the pie pan in the freezer for 10 minutes or cover tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate for up to 30 minutes. Remove the remaining pie dough disc from the fridge, unwrap, and roll into a 12-inch diameter disc that is roughly ⅛-inch thick or less. Place the dough between two sheets of plastic wrap or parchment paper and chill in the fridge while you prepare the pie filling.
• Prepare the Pie Filling: Using a pairing knife, carefully peel the skin from the blanched peaches, remove the pits, and cut into ½-inch thick wedges. Transfer the peach wedges to a large mixing bowl and add the blackberries, brown sugar, granulated sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Toss gently to combine.
• Remove the pie pan from the freezer and add the peach blackberry filling. Remove the rolled top crust pie dough from the refrigerator and place over the fruit filling, tucking the overhang of the top crust over and then under the bottom crust overhang. Press and crimp the edges of the crust as desired.
• Using a sharp paring knife, cut several 2-inch slashes into the top crust. Set the assembled pie in the freezer to chill for 20 minutes (or alternatively, cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for up to 1 hour). This will allow the pie dough to relax, the butter to chill, and helps prevent shrinking during baking.
• Bake: Brush the top crust with heavy cream and sprinkle with sparkling sugar and set the pan on top of the lined sheet pan. Bake for 15 minutes. Reduce the oven temperature to 400°F (205°C) and bake for an additional 15 to 20 minutes or until the pie crust is lightly golden. Reduce the heat to 350°F (175°C) and continue to bake until deeply golden brown, an additional 25 to 35 minute. The filling should be lightly bubbling. Transfer the pie to a wire rack and allow to cool for at least 2 to 3 hours before slicing. Serve slightly warm or at room temperature with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.

PEACH-BLACKBERRY PIE

Steps:

• Combine the flour, sugar, salt in the bowl of a food processor and pulse a few times to combine.
• Scatter the butter and shortening over the top of the flour mixture and pulse until the mixture resembles coarse meal. Add the water a few tablespoons at a time and pulse until the dough just comes together. Remove the dough from the machine and lightly knead on a flat surface until it just comes together. Form into a disk, wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
• Combine peaches, sugars, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, peach eau de vie and cornstarch or tapioca in a large bowl and mix until well combined. Toss the blackberries with the cassis. Let sit for 10 minutes, then use a slotted spoon to spoon the berries into the peaches, and toss.
• Divide the dough in half and roll each half out on a lightly floured surface to 13 to 14- inch round. Transfer 1 of the rounds into the bottom of a 9-inch deep-dish pie plate. Spoon the fruit into the crust using a slotted spoon. Add some of the juices that have accumulated in the bowl. Scatter the butter over the top. Roll up remaining dough on rolling pin and unroll atop peach mixture. Trim edges of both crusts to 3/4-inch overhang. Fold edges over; press to seal. Crimp edges. Cut 6 slits in top crust to allow steam to escape. Brush top of the pie with the cream and sprinkle with the turbinado sugar. Place the pie on a baking sheet and bake on the bottom rack of the oven until the crust is golden and juices bubble thickly through slits, covering edges of crust with foil if browning too quickly, about 1 hour 20 to 30 minutes, until the bottom crust is brown and the juices bubbling. Cool pie 3 hours.

PEACH-BLACKBERRY PIE

Steps:

• Make the crust: Combine the flour, granulated sugar and salt in a food processor and pulse a few times. Scatter the butter and shortening over the flour mixture and pulse until it resembles coarse meal. Gradually add 4 to 7 tablespoons ice water, pulsing until the dough just comes together. Remove the dough from the machine and lightly knead on a flat surface to form a disk. Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate at least 1 hour. Position a rack in the bottom of the oven and preheat to 375 degrees F.
• Make the filling: Combine the peaches, brown and granulated sugars, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, peach eau de vie and cornstarch or tapioca in a large bowl and mix until well combined. Toss the blackberries with the cassis in a separate bowl. Let sit 10 minutes, then use a slotted spoon to spoon the berries into the peach mixture and toss. Divide the chilled dough in half and roll out each half into a 13-to-14-inch round on a lightly floured surface. Transfer one of the rounds to a 9-inch deep-dish pie plate. Spoon the fruit into the crust using a slotted spoon; add some of the juices that have accumulated in the bowl (about 1/4 cup). Scatter the butter over the top. Roll up the remaining dough round on the rolling pin, then unroll it on top of the filling. Trim the edges of both crusts to a 3/4-inch overhang. Fold the edges over; press to seal and crimp the edges. Cut 6 slits in the top crust to allow steam to escape. Brush the top of the pie with the cream and sprinkle with the turbinado sugar. Place the pie on a baking sheet and bake on the bottom oven rack until the crust is golden and the juices bubble thickly through the slits, 1 hour, 20 minutes to 1 hour, 30 minutes.

PEACH BLACKBERRY PIE

Steps:

• 1. Prepare the pie dough as directed through Step 4, rolling out the bottom crust to fit a 9-inch pie plate. Roll out the top crust and place it on a plate. Wrap both crusts and chill until ready to use.
• 2. Combine the peaches, blackberries, lemon juice and salt; set aside. Combine the ginger, flour and brown sugar; toss with the fruits. Let rest for 1 hour. Preheat the oven to 350°F.
• 3. Combine the egg white and water in a small bowl. Remove the pie crusts from the refrigerator. Brush some of the egg-white mixture over the bottom and sides of the bottom pie crust to prevent sogginess. Add the fruit filling, mounding the peaches in the center.
• 4. Cover the filling with the top crust. Trim the overhang to 1 inch. With water, moisten the edges of the crusts where they meet, then press together lightly and turn under. Crimp the edges decoratively. Cut 6 decorative steam slits in the top crust. Brush the top crust lightly all over with the remaining egg-white mixture. Sprinkle lightly with the granulated sugar.
• 5. Place the pie on the center rack of the oven and bake until it is golden and the juices are bubbling, about 60 to 70 minutes. Let the pie cool on a rack before serving just slightly warm or at room temperature.
