Shortcut Peach Pie
- 6 ounces refrigerated sugar cookie dough, cold (about 3/4 cup)
- Three 10-ounce bags frozen peaches, thawed (about 6 cups)
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
- 1/8 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/3 cup peach jam or preserves
- 1 tablespoon raw sugar
- Special equipment: an 8- or 9-inch oven-safe nonstick skillet
- Position oven racks in the center and upper third of the oven, put a baking sheet or piece of foil on the middle rack and preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
- In a small bowl, crumble the cookie dough into large chunks; refrigerate.
- Strain the peaches and gently toss in the strainer to remove all excess liquid.
- Transfer the peaches to a medium bowl, add the cornstarch and stir until the cornstarch dissolves completely.
- Add the lemon juice and cinnamon, and toss to coat.
- Stir in the jam.
- Mound the peaches in an 8- or 9-inch oven-safe nonstick skillet, and bring to a simmer over medium-high heat.
- (The skillet will be pretty full, but the peaches will cook down.)
- Simmer, partially covered, for about 10 minutes, gently stirring and turning the peaches up from the bottom occasionally.
- Strew the cookie dough on top of the peaches, leaving space between chunks.
- Sprinkle the dough with the sugar, and bake on the upper rack of the oven until the cookie crust is golden brown, about 15 minutes.
- Cool for 15 minutes before serving.
