Peach Vanilla Bean Slab Pie With Cardamom
- FOR THE CRUST:
- 5 cups All-purpose Flour
- 1-1/2 teaspoon Salt
- 2 teaspoons Sugar
- 4 sticks Cold Unsalted Butter
- 14 Tablespoons Ice Water
- _____
- FOR THE FILLING:
- 1/2 whole Vanilla Bean, Roughly Chopped
- 1 cup Sugar
- 2-1/4 pounds Peaches, Peeled And Thinly Sliced
- 1/4 cups Cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon Ground Cardamom
- 1 whole Egg Yolk, Whisked With Some Milk To Make An Egg Wash
- Combine flour, salt and sugar. Cut in butter with a pastry blender until mixture resembles peas. Add ice water steadily until dough comes together. Divide dough in half. Flatten and refrigerate and hour or until ready to use.
- Roll out each piece of dough into a 12-by-16 inch rectangle. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Place one rectangle of dough on cookie sheet. Place vanilla bean and sugar in a food processor to create a vanilla sugar. Sift sugar into a bowl to remove large pieces of vanilla bean. In a bowl, combine peaches, vanilla sugar, cornstarch and cardamom. Pour onto prepared dough, leaving a 1-inch border.
- Top with remaining dough and seal two pieces of dough together. Fold over and crimp edges. Using a sharp knife, make slashes or designs over dough. Whisk together egg yolk and milk. Use a pastry brush to egg wash the top of the slab pie. Bake for 1 hour, 10 minutes. Let cool for 2 hours before cutting and serving.
