Ruston Peach Crumb Pie And Vanilla Ice Cream Recipes

PEACH CRUMB PIE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees and line pie pan with pie crust.
• Mix peaches with sugar, brown sugar, cinnamon, cornstarch and lemon juice.
• Pour peaches into pie crust.
• To make the crumb topping use a fork to combine the oats, flour, brown sugar, salt and butter until it forms a pea sized crumb.
• Top the peaches with the crumb mixture and place the pie plate on a baking sheet lined with foil.
• Bake for 45-50 minutes until golden brown.

BLUEBERRY PEACH CRUMB PIE

Steps:

• For the dough: In a large bowl, mix the flour, granulated sugar and salt. Using a pastry blender or your fingers, cut in the cold butter until pea-size.
• In a separate bowl, beat the eggs with a fork until fluffy and pale yellow. Using a fork, mix the eggs into the flour mixture until the dough just comes together. Finish combining the dough with your hands to form a ball, being careful to avoid over-working the dough.
• Cut the ball in half, forming two smaller balls of dough. Gently press down on each to form two equal disks. Wrap each disk in plastic wrap and place in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours or up to overnight.
• For the filling: In a bowl, add the peaches, blueberries, brown sugar, flour, lemon juice and zest. Gently mix and set aside for 5 minutes.
• For the topping: In a bowl, add the oats, brown sugar, butter, flour and cinnamon, and mix with your fingers, pinching the butter to create pea-size pieces.
• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
• Lightly dust a clean surface with flour. Spray a 10-inch pie pan with nonstick cooking spray. Roll out the dough to about 12 inches in diameter, then place in the pan. Pour the filling over the dough and sprinkle the crumb topping over the top. Bake for 40 to 45 minutes. Cool on a wire rack before serving.

PEPPERMINT ICE CREAM

Steps:

• Combine the half-and-half, vanilla bean, vanilla seeds and salt in a nonreactive saucepan over medium heat. Bring just to a boil, then immediately remove the saucepan from the heat.
• In a large bowl add the sugar and egg yolks and whisk to combine. Add the half-and-half mixture, about 1/4 cup at a time, to the beaten eggs and sugar, whisking after each addition. Pour the mixture back into the saucepan and add the mint leaves. Cook over medium-low heat until mixture is thick enough to coat the back of a spoon, 5 to 6 minutes. Remove from the heat and strain through a fine mesh sieve into a clean bowl. Transfer the bowl to an ice bath and stir frequently until custard is completely cool. Refrigerate until thoroughly chilled.
• Pour the custard into an ice cream machine and follow the manufacturer's instructions for churning time. As the ice cream begins to set, sprinkle in the crushed peppermint candies. Transfer the ice cream to a freezer-safe container and freeze until firm, about 8 hours.

PEACH CRUMB PIE

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 375 degrees F.
• To make the filling:
• In a large bowl, combine the peaches, sugar, and cinnamon. Add the cornstarch to a small bowl and whisk in the lemon juice so no lumps remain. Pour the cornstarch mixture over the peaches and toss. Let the peaches sit for 15 minutes while you roll out the pie dough and make the streusel topping.
• To make the topping:
• Mix the flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, allspice, and salt in a large bowl. Blend the butter into the mixture with your fingers until it forms pea-size lumps and looks crumbly. Stir in the almonds.
• To assemble:
• Roll out the dough an extra inch on a lightly-floured surface. Place the dough in the bottom of a 9-inch pie pan. Crimp edges as desired.
• Pour the pie filling into the pie shell and sprinkle the streusel topping over the pie. Dot the top with sliced butter. Bake for 45 to 50 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool before serving.
