Ingredients
crust
- 126 grams all-purpose flour (~1 cup)
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 113 grams cultured unsalted butter (8 tablespoons cut into ¼" cubes)
- 3 tablespoons ice water
filling
- 400 grams white peaches (~2 large peaches)
- 200 grams rhubarb (chopped)
- 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon potato starch (tapioca starch works as well)
- 1 vanilla bean
Instructions
- To make the crust, add the 126 grams all-purpose flour, 2 tablespoons granulated sugar and ¼ teaspoon salt to the work bowl of a food processor and pulse a few times to combine. Add the cold 113 grams cultured unsalted butter to the flour, scattering the cubes around, and pulse for 2 seconds at a time until the mixture forms small pebbles and there are no large clumps of butter remaining.
- Add the 3 tablespoons ice water and pulse a few more time until the mixture is still loose, but the individual pebbles are just starting to stick together (like damp sand). Turn the dough out onto a sheet of plastic wrap and use the wrap to press the dough together into a round puck about 1-inch (25mm) thick. Place in the freezer for at least 10 minutes, or you can keep it frozen for a few weeks until you need it.
- When you're ready to make the pie, put the oven rack in the middle position and preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (205 C).
- Place a piece of heavy duty aluminum foil on your work surface and then cover with a piece of parchment paper. If your dough has been in the freezer for a more than 10 minutes, take it out of the freezer a little ahead of time. You want it as cold as possible, but not so cold that you can't roll it out.
- Remove the pit from the 400 grams white peaches and slice into wedges. Add to a bowl along with the chopped 200 grams rhubarb, remaining 3 tablespoons granulated sugar and 1 teaspoon potato starch. Split 1 vanilla bean lengthwise and scrape out the seeds, adding them in with the peaches. Toss to distribute everything evenly.
- Roll out the dough into a circle about ⅙-inch (4mm) thick and then dump the fruit in the middle of the dough into a tall mound. Use the parchment paper to help you fold up the edges of the crust back over the fruit, forming some pleats along the way.
- Use the aluminum foil to form a shallow dish around the pie. Be careful not to tear a hole in the aluminum and leave enough room around the edges of the pie so the crust can breathe.
- Carefully transfer the pie to the oven, placing the foil directly on the oven rack. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown.
- Serve hot out of the oven, or at room temperature with whipped cream or ice cream.
