Peach-Raspberry Slab Pie
- 2 1/4 pounds peaches (about 9), peeled (see page 343), pitted, and cut into thin wedges
- 6 ounces (about 1 cup) raspberries
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup cornstarch
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- All-purpose flour, for dusting
- 2 recipes Pate Brisee (page 322; do not divide into disks)
- 1 large egg yolk, for egg wash
- 1 tablespoon heavy cream, for egg wash
- Fine sanding sugar, for sprinkling
- Preheat oven to 375F, with rack in lower third.
- Gently toss peaches, raspberries, granulated sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice, and salt in a large bowl.
- On a lightly floured surface, roll out each disk of dough to a 16-by-12-inch rectangle, 1/8 inch thick.
- Transfer one rectangle to a 15-by-10-inch rimmed baking sheet.
- Trim excess dough to a 1/2-inch overhang.
- Transfer remaining rectangle to a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Refrigerate or freeze both until firm, about 30 minutes.
- Pour fruit mixture into dough-lined baking sheet, and spread into an even layer.
- Cover with remaining rectangle of dough.
- Trim edges of top piece of dough to 1/2-inch overhang.
- Fold edges of top layer over edges of bottom layer, and pinch to seal.
- Working in rows, cut about 60 holes from top crust using a 9/16-inch plain tip (such as Ateco #807), spacing evenly.
- Whisk together yolk and cream in a small bowl.
- Brush crust with egg wash. Sprinkle with sanding sugar.
- Bake until crust turns golden and filling is bubbling, about 90 minutes.
- (Tent with foil if crust is browning too quickly.)
- Let cool completely on a wire rack, about 3 hours, before cutting and serving.
