Ingredients
- 2 9 inches pie crust ( brisee)recipe below
- 2 and 3/4 pounds peachesabout 8, 1kg, peeled, pitted, sliced in to 16th
- 1medium lemon juice
- 1/2 cup sugar112 g
- 1pinch salt
- 4 teaspoons corn starch12 g
Instructions
- Pre-heat oven at 425F
- Roll the bottom crust to 1/8 inch thick and not bigger than 12 inches in diameter. Line a 9 inch pie pan. Trim the edges almost even but leaving a little part overhanging, to prevent shrinkage. Cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes up to 3 hours.
- Transfer the sliced peaches in a large bowl and sprinkle with lemon juice and sugar, add the salt and toss them gently. Macerate for minimum of 30 minutes up to 1 hour.
- Drain the peaches in a colander over a bowl and reserve the juice.
- Reduce the juice on medium to high and boil down to about 1/3 of a cup or until syrupy and lightly caramelized. Don’t stir.
- Toss peaces in a bowl with corn starch until cornstarch disappear. Transfer in to the pie shell. Pour syrup over the peaches.
- Roll out the top crust large enough to cover the pie. Cover the pie. Tuck the overhanging under the bottom crust. Make 5 slashes, crimp and decorate. Refrigerate covered for at least on hour to relax the dough.
- Bake for 40 to 50 minutes, until the juices are bubbling over and through the slashes. Cool for at least 3 hours. Store room temperature up to to 2 days.
