Levee Mercantile Flat Peach Pie
Crust
1/2 cup butter
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 egg
1/4 cup cold water
Filling
4 to 5 ripe peaches, sliced
1/4 cup granulated sugar
3 tablespoons flour
2 tablespoons lemon juice
Cream
Sugar
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
For the crust: In a mixing bowl, cut butter into flour; stir in egg
and water. Form into a ball and chill dough. Roll out into two 12-
to 14-inch circles, about 1/4 inch thick.
For the filling: In a mixing bowl, combine the peaches, sugar, flour
and lemon juice. Divide and place half the filling in the center of
each pastry circle. Fold pastry over peaches and seal using a fork
to crimp edges. Using a knife tip, cut a few steam vents into top of
each pastry. Lightly brush pastry with cream and sprinkle with
sugar. Place on a parchment-lined baking sheet and bake for 25
minutes, or until pastry has browned. Remove from oven and cool.
Makes two flat pies, about 8-12 servings. Source:
