Ingredients
8 cups pitted and thinly sliced peaches, (about 10)
1/3 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1 vanilla bean, seeds scrapped out and reserved
For the crumble
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 cup granulated sugar
2 tbsp large-flake oats
1/8 tsp salt
1/4 cup cold unsalted butter, cubed
To assemble
1 egg, beaten
1 tbsp water
1 batch half and half pastry (recipe link below)
Instructions
POSITION rack in bottom third of oven. Preheat to 350F.
TOSS peaches with 1/3 cup sugar, 1/4 cup flour and vanilla seeds in a large bowl until coated. Let stand, stirring occasionally, until flour is absorbed, 10 min.
STIR 1/2 cup flour with 1/4 cup sugar, oats and salt in a medium bowl. Add butter and, using your fingertips, work mixture until crumbly.
BEAT egg with water in a small bowl. Roll out pastry into a 13-in. circle on a lightly floured surface. Lift onto a 9-in. pie plate set on a baking sheet. Press dough over bottom and up sides of plate, leaving a 1-in. overhang. Tuck pastry edge under itself and crimp together using your index finger and thumb, or press around edges using the tines of a fork. Scrape peach mixture evenly into pastry. Lightly brush pastry with egg wash. Sprinkle crumble mixture over peaches.
BAKE in bottom third of oven until golden, 1 hour and 30 min. Let stand at least 2 hours before serving, or overnight.
Kitchen tip: Use a sharp paring knife to slice vanilla bean in half lengthwise. Scrape out vanilla seeds.
