Slab Pie...lookin' good!

I was going to wait until I tried recipes out that I have found before I shared them but this looks so delish and who knows when I will actually get around to making it...

Whole Wheat Vanilla-Bean Pie Crust

2 c. whole wheat flour.......... 1/2 tsp. nutmeg

2 c. white flour ......................zest of 1 lemon

3 sticks butter, chilled .........Juice of 1/2 lemon

2 T. sugar ..............................1 egg

1/2 tsp. salt ...........................1/2 c. ice cold water

Seeds of 1 vanilla bean

In a large bowl, stir the flours, sugar, salt, vanilla bean, and nutmeg and lemon zest together.

Use a fork to blend the butter into the flour mixture, creating a mixture that resembles coarse crumbs.

In a small bowl, combine lemon juice, egg, and water.

Pour liquids slowly into flour mixture, stirring gently with a fork until the mixture begins to follow it around the bowl.

Turn dough out onto a non-stick or silpat mat and knead several times. Roll out thin and press into a cookie sheet or refrigerate until needed.*

Nectarine Blackberry Slab Pie

1 batch of Whole Wheat Vanilla-Bean Pie Crust, prepared

12 oz. cream cheese........ 4 nectarines (pitted & sliced thin)

2 eggs ................................2-3 pints blackberries

3 T. sugar .........................1/2 c. peach jam

Juice of 1/2 lemon ...........1/2 c. honey

Press the prepared pie crust into the bottom of a large greased cookie sheet.

Tightly cover any unused portion of the pie crust dough and store in the fridge up to a week.

In a large bowl, beat together cream cheese, egg,

sugar and lemon juice.

Spread the cream cheese mixture over the pie crust.

Generously spread sliced nectarines and blackberries over

the cream cheese mixture.

In a small, microwave-safe bowl, heat the peach jam and honey together until warm.

Drizzle generously over the top of the pie. Bake in an oven preheated to 400 degrees

for 24-27 minutes.

Serve warm with a heap of vanilla ice cream or allow to cool and serve topped with a dollop of whipping cream.

Does this look yummy or what...?
