"Peach pie"
 
I want to bake a peach pie but it seams I can't find a recipe for that double crust "dough".
Does anyone have a good recipe for that?

   Iva,

Here is a recipe for Honey Caramel Peach Pie that I have made multiple times and which always get raves! It's my very favorite pie. It's a bit more work than a classic peach pie, but it is ohhhh sooo good

I've included both the recipe, and the link to the Sassy Radish food blog so that you can see pictures of the pie:

Honey Caramel Peach Pie
Adapted from Gourmet, July 2009

Any kind of mild honey will work beautifully here. It will cook into a rich caramel, which coats the peaches and deepens their sweetness.

Pie Filling Ingredients:
3 lb ripe peaches
2 tablespoons cornstarch
1 1/2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup plus 1 tablespoon sugar, divided

Honey Bourbon Caramel Ingredients:
1/4 cup mild honey
2 tbsp bourbon
2 tablespoons water
3 tablespoons unsalted butter

All-butter pastry dough (recipe below)

1 tablespoon whole milk

Pie Preparation:

1. Cut an X in bottom of each peach, then blanch peaches in batches in boiling water 15 seconds. Transfer with a slotted spoon to an ice bath to stop cooking. Peel peaches and cut into 1-inch-thick wedges.

2. Toss peaches well with cornstarch, flour, lemon juice, cinnamon, and salt in a large bowl.

3. Put a foil-lined large baking sheet in lower third of oven and preheat oven to 425°F.

4. Bring 1/2 cup sugar, honey, and bourbon and water to a boil in a 1 1/2- to 2-qt heavy saucepan over medium-high heat, stirring until sugar has dissolved, then wash down any sugar crystals from side of pan with a pastry brush dipped in cold water. Boil without stirring, swirling pan occasionally so caramel colors evenly, until dark amber, about 5 minutes.

5.Remove from heat and add butter, swirling pan until butter is melted. Pour over fruit and toss (caramel may harden slightly but will melt in oven).

6. Roll out 1 piece of dough (keep remaining piece chilled) into a 13-inch round on a lightly floured surface with a lightly floured rolling pin. Fit into a 9-inch pie plate. Trim excess dough, leaving a 1/2-inch overhang. Chill shell while rolling out remaining dough.

7. Roll out remaining piece of dough into an 11-inch round on a lightly floured surface with a lightly floured rolling pin.

8. Transfer filling to pie shell, mounding it. Cover pie with pastry round. Trim with kitchen shears, leaving a 1/2-inch overhang. Press edges together, then crimp decoratively. Brush top all over with some of milk, then sprinkle with remaining Tbsp sugar. Cut 3 steam vents in top crust with a paring knife.

9. Bake pie on hot baking sheet 20 minutes. Reduce oven temperature to 375°F. Continue to bake until crust is golden-brown and filling is bubbling, about 50 minutes more. Cool pie to room temperature, 3 to 4 hours.

All-Butter Pastry Dough
Makes enough for a double-crust 9-inch pie

Crust Ingredients:
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons sugar
3/4 teaspoon salt
2 sticks cold unsalted butter, cut into 1/2-inch cubes
1/3 cup plus 1 to 4 Tbsp ice water

Crust Preparation:

1. Whisk together flour, sugar, and salt in a bowl (or pulse in a food processor). Blend in butter with your fingertips or a pastry blender (or pulse) just until most of mixture resembles coarse meal with some roughly pea-size butter lumps. Drizzle 1/3 cup ice water over mixture and gently stir with a fork (or pulse) until incorporated.

2. Squeeze a small handful of dough: If it doesn’t hold together, add more ice water 1 Tbsp at a time, stirring (or pulsing) until just incorporated, then test again. Do not overwork dough, or pastry will be tough.

3. Turn out dough onto a lightly floured surface and divide into 8 portions. With heel of your hand, smear each portion once or twice in a forward motion to help distribute fat. Gather dough together, with a pastry scraper if you have one, and press into a ball. Divide in half and form into 2 disks. Wrap each disk in plastic wrap and chill until firm, at least 1 hour.

Notes:
# Dough can be chilled up to 1 day. Let stand at room temperature 20 minutes before rolling out.
# Recipe can be halved if making a single-crust pie. Use a rounded 1/4 tsp salt and start with 3 Tbsp water.

Hope you enjoy it!!

Oh Lisa thank you very much! I'll make then the "special" peach pie instead of regular. I only hope it turns out ok.

Thank you once again.

   I have an excellent peach and blackberry pie recipe as well:

This lattice-top pie is bursting with summer’s finest fruit flavours!

Yield: 8

Ingredients:

Dough:
2 cups all purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup unsalted butter, cut into pieces and chilled
3 tablespoons cold water
1 tablespoon lemon juice

Filling:
8 peach, peeled and sliced
2 cups blackberries
1/2 cup sugar
3 tablespoons all purpose flour
1 teaspoon lemon zest
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
1 1/2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 egg, mixed with 2 tbsp cold water, for brushing
2 tablespoons Turbinado sugar

Directions:

Dough
1.Combine flour and salt. Cut in butter until the texture of coarse meal.

2.Mix together water and lemon juice and add to flour. Blend until dough just comes together. Shape dough into a disc and chill for at least 30 minutes.

3.Preheat oven to 350 F.

4.Divide dough in half.

5.On a lightly floured surface, roll out 1 piece of dough to 1/4-inch thick. Line a 9-inch pie pan with pastry leaving edges overhanging. Chill while preparing filling.

Filling
1.Toss peaches and blackberries with sugar, flour, lemon zest, cinnamon and nutmeg.

2.Spoon fruit into pie pan and dot with butter.

3.Roll out second piece of dough to 1/4-inch thickness. Using a pastry wheel or paring knife, cut 10 strips of dough 3/4 –inch thick.

4.To build the lattice top, place 5 strips side by side on top of the fruit filling, leaving 1/2 inch of space between them.

5.Fold back 3 alternate strips of dough halfway back. Place a center cross strip laying over the 2 flat strips of dough. Return the 3 folded strips to their flat position.

6.Repeat step 5, folding back the 2 alternate strips and repeat process until you have strips woven in.

7.Trim edges of crust, leaving an inch hanging over. Turn bottom crust over edges of strips and crimp together with your fingers or with a fork.

8.Brush pie with egg wash and sprinkle with turbinado sugar.

9.Bake for 40-50 minutes on a baking sheet (to catch drips) until rich golden brown

What I love about this recipe is the dough. You can use the dough recipe for any pie dish of your choice.

I've made blackberry pie the other day.

The dough I made was the one Lisa gave me for the peach pie, and the filling I made from 500 grams of blackberries(I've used both garden and wild), 120 grams of sugar, two teaspoons of lemon juice and two tbs of cornstarch. It was yummy!
But unfortunately, I forgot to put it on the backing sheet, and it got all over my oven and after cleaning it for the 17th time it is still there.
