Peach Crostata

Ingredients
  

  • 1 standard pie crust
  • 2-pounds fresh peaches
  • ¼ cup brown sugar
  • ¼ tsp. ground cinnamon
  • 2 tbsp. spiced rum
  • 1 tsp. vanilla extract
  • 1 tbsp. lemon juice
  • 2 tbsp. all-purpose flour
  • 1 tbsp. heavy cream
  • 2 tbsp. turbinado sugar
  • Vanilla ice cream, for serving

Instructions
 

  • Pre-heat the oven to 400°F.
  • Roll the pie crust out into a big circle; about 12-inches in diameter; don’t worry if it’s not a perfect circle.
  • Transfer the pie crust onto a rimmed baking sheet; keep in the freezer or refrigerator while working on the peaches.
  • Cut the peaches into quarters; then cut the quarters into quarters; for a total of 16 slices per peach; discard the pits.
  • Toss the peaches in a big mixing bowl with the brown sugar, cinnamon, spiced rum, vanilla extract, lemon juice and flour; set this mixture aside.
  • Dump the peaches, along with any of the liquid in the bowl, onto the center of the rolled out pie crust, leaving a 2-inch rim on all sides of the peaches
  • Distribute the peaches as necessary to form into a relatively flat layer; it’s okay to have the peaches piled up on top of each other.
  • Gently fold the sides of the pie crust up and over the peaches; brush the crust with heavy cream.
  • Sprinkle turbinado sugar all over the heavy cream brushed pie crust.
  • Place in pre-heated oven and bake the crostata for about 40 minutes until the edges are golden brown and the peaches are bubbling.
  • Serve warm with a big scoop of vanilla ice cream, if desired.
