Easy Whole Apricot or Peach Pie

This summer, why not serve your guests an individual whole peach pie or apricot pie instead of a slice of traditional double-crust stonefruit pie? It makes for a prettier presentation and takes way less time to bake!

Ingredients

Easy Flakey Pie Crust:

  • 1 1/4 cups all purpose Flour
  • 1/4 cups Sugar
  • 1/8 teaspoon Salt
  • 1 stick Butter frozen, grated
  • 3 tablespoons Ice cold water 5 tablespoons

Filling:

  • 8 apricots or peaches cut in half and seed removed
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1 cup pistachios crushed

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 420 degrees F. Make the pie crust by adding the flour, sugar and salt in a bowl. Add in the cold butter and use a fork to fluff up the flour mixture with the butter mixture. Then add the water tablespoon at a time fluffing with a fork to get in blend in. Don't use your hands yet and don't squish the butter, rather keep fluffing everything together. Keep adding water until the dough starts to look like it's coming together and sticking into a dough.
  2. Gather the dough with your hands and wrap it in a plastic wrap, then chill the dough for 30 mins in the freezer or an hour in the fridge minimum until ready to use.
  3. When ready, remove the crust form the fridge and roll it out on a floured surface, and cut out about 5 inch circles (more or less depending on the size of your fruit). Scatter some pistachios over each circle and press them down slightly on the crust.
  4. Re roll the scraps and cut out small shapes of flowers or circles about 1 inch size.
  5. Take the fruit halves and sprinkle a lot of sugar over each cut half of the fruit and press the two halves together to form the shape of a peach again. Place it over the crust and wrap them over the fruit. Place each over a muffin cavity.
  6. Bake for 30 minutes until golden.
  7. Wait for 10 minutes before removing from the pan and serve with confectioners' sugar and ice cream!! :) Enjoy!

Recipe Notes

  • Make sure you freeze your butter well ahead of time. 
  • Chill all your pie dough ingredients. You can even chill the bowl. 
  • Do not overwork your pie dough as this will make it tough. 
  • Feel free to substitute almonds, walnuts or macadamia nuts for pistachios.
  • If you must use store-bought pastry, I would recommend puff pastry!
