4-5firm peaches, de-stoned and cut into thin slices
¼teaspooncinnamon
2tablespoonsof brown sugar
1tablespoonlemon juice, approximately ½ a lemon
1½tablespoonscornstarch
1egg, for egg wash (optional)
Instructions
To make the pastry: Place the flour, butter and sugar in the Thermomix bowl and mix for 10 sec/speed 6. Add the chilled water and knead for 1 min/dough setting. The pastry should now have come together, if not knead for a little longer.
Turn the pastry onto a lightly floured surface and gently knead it into a ball. Wrap in glad wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes while you prepare the peach filling.
For the peach filling: Core the peaches and cut them into thin slices. Place in a bowl, add the brown sugar, cornstarch, cinnamon, and lemon juice, and carefully toss to combine. You don't want them to go too mushy.
Preheat the oven to 190°C/375°F (170°C fan).
To assemble: Take the pastry out of the fridge and roll it out onto a lightly floured surface into a circle shape that's roughly 30cm in diameter. It doesn't have to look perfect. Transfer the pastry carefully onto the prepared baking sheet.
Arrange the peach filling in a single layer over the pastry, leaving a 3-4cm border around the edges. Gently fold the pastry dough's edges over the peaches, then pinch together with your fingers every 3-4cm.
Brush the crust edges with egg wash and bake in the oven for 35-40 minutes until the crust is golden.
Serve warm with freshly whipped cream or vanilla ice cream.
