Peach Basil Pie #SundaySupper #MusicInspired

August is National Peach Month, why not start it off right with this Peach Basil Pie?

Peach Basil Pie #SundaySupper

“Movin’ to the country I’m gonna eat a lot of peaches 
Peaches come from a can they were put there by a man 
In a factory downtown 
If I had my little way I’d eat peaches everyday “

 

Let’s set things straight first, these peaches are not from a can.  In fact, if I ever was offered a canned peach, I’m pretty sure I turned it down.  Those are slimy little suckers.  

Second, we have such a fun, amazing and creative #SundaySupper for you today.  All the recipes that you will see have been inspired by music.  For some like mine, I went a little silly – I chose Peaches from Presidents of the United States of America.  For others, some chose favorite songs, jazz, songs from musicals and even a popular children’s song. 

Creating recipes around a song is the perfect match. Music feeds your soul, and you soul needs food to survive. 

Peach Basil Pie #SundaySupper“I took a little nap where the roots all twist 
Squished a rotten peach in my fist 
And dreamed about you woman 
I poked my finger down inside makin’ a little room for a ant to hide 
Nature’s candy in my hand or can or a pie 

Pie – peach pie with basil in fact.  POTUSA sings about peaches being natures candy and that they belong in a pie.  Peaches really are natures candy, when you pick up a perfect ripe peach and bite into that fuzzy flesh, there is no better feeling.  

Lately I’ve been in the habit of adding just a touch of savory to my fruit drinks or dessert in the form of herbs.  Basil is fragrant and beautiful right now, it was hard to resist.

Ingredients

    For the pastry crust:
  • 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoon sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 sticks, cold unsalted butter, cut into 1/2 inch pieces
  • 5-6 tablespoons cold water
  • For the filling:
  • 6 ripe peaches, skin and pits removed, sliced 1/4-1/2 inch thick
  • 1/3 cup cane sugar
  • 1/4 cup light brown sugar
  • 1/3 cup all-purpose flour
  • juice from 1 lemon
  • 10 medium to large basil leaves cut into chiffonade
  • 2 tablespoon unsalted butter, cut into 1/4 inch cubes
  • egg wash

Instructions

    For the crust:
  1. In a medium bowl, mix together the flour, sugar and salt. Using a pastry blender, two knives or your hands add the butter – 2 tablespoons at a time and blend until the mixture looks like pebbles. You can also place everything in your food processor and pulse 5-6 times until the butter is broken up.
  2. Dribble in the water until the dough just comes together, make sure there are no dry patches and it easily forms into a ball. You may not need all the water. If using your food processor, with the motor running dribble the water through the top chute until the dough forms into a ball.
  3. Divide 1/3 of the dough on a lightly floured piece of plastic wrap, pat into a disk and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes. Repeat with remaining 2/3 dough. Dough can be made ahead of time.
  4. Once the dough is chilled, roll the larger ball between two pieces of floured plastic wrap until it is 1/4 inch thick and 10-11 inches in diameter.
  5. Remove the top layer of the plastic wrap and transfer it to a 9 inch pie plate. Remove the other layer of plastic wrap and press the dough into the pie plate. With the tines of your fork, prick the dough all over.
  6. For the filling:
  7. Heat your oven to 400 degrees F.
  8. In a medium bowl, toss the peaches with the sugars, flour and lemon juice.
  9. Place the peaches in the prepared pie crust, leaving behind any excess juice.
  10. Sprinkle the chiffonade basil over the peaches and top with the cubed butter.
  11. Roll out the remaining dough as instructed above, you can either cut into strips and form a lattice crust or cut out pieces with a decorative cookie cutter.
  12. Gently brush the top of the and the edges of the crust with the egg wash.
  13. Bake the pie for 50-60 minutes or until the crust is golden brown. I suggest place a baking sheet in the rack underneath to catch any drips.
Recipe Type: Pie, Fruit, Dessert

Notes

To peel the skin off the peaches, bring a large pot of water to boil and have a cold water bath set aside. Score an X on the top and bottom of the peaches. Blanche for 30-45 seconds, remove with a slotted spoon and place in ice bath. The skins should come off easily.
This turned out to be a bit of a wet pie, but it should set up firmer when kept in the refrigerator.

    Now that is one inspired peach pie, Susan. So very clever to add basil. I imagine it does blend harmoniously with the sweet peach flavor =)

    Also, thank you for hosting this fun SundaySupper.

    P.s. I’ll take a fresh peach over canned any day, too.

    That top crust is the best, Susan! I always struggle with lattice or getting a full crust on straight. This is genius in the form of little pastry hearts. And that peach basil combination, divine.

    I love the peaches song 😀 I’ve been wanting to experiment putting herbs into my desserts, especially since I have basil in the garden. I better get started on this pie.
