Peach Dessert

This recipe is from All recipes web site. It is not hard to make just takes a little time. We thought it was worth it though.

 The combination of sour cream, peaches and Maple Syrup is very good and I had the syrup, peaches and sour cream that needed to be used on hand. 

 I couldn’t decide if I should serve it on a plate or in a bowl so tried both ways. Pie is always going to be the favorite in our house, but for a change of pace this was excellent.

Peach Dessert

Ingredients:

1 ½ teaspoons butter

4 fresh peaches- peeled, pitted and diced in medium chunks- about 4 to 4 ½ cups sprinkle with lemon juice to keep from browning and add some tartness to the dish.

¼ cup Maple Syrup (not pancake syrup)

¼ teaspoon lemon juice (optional)

2 tablespoons flour

½ teaspoon salt

½ cup butter

2 tablespoons sour cream

3 egg yolks beaten

1 cup white sugar

3 ⅓ tablespoons sour cream

2 tablespoons flour

pinch salt

Directions:

 Melt 1/2 tablespoon butter in a saucepan over medium heat.Stir peaches, maple syrup, ¼ teaspoon lemon juice and a pinch of salt together in the melted butter; cook, stirring occasionally, until the mixture is syrupy, about 10 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside to cool.

 Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Grease a 10x6-inch baking dish.

 Mix 1 cup plus 2 tablespoons flour and 1/2 teaspoon salt together in a bowl. Mash unsalted butter into the flour mixture until lumps are the size of small peas. Blend 2 tablespoons sour cream into the mixture; mix until you have a dough-like mixture. Pat the dough into the bottom and up the sides of the prepared baking dish.

 Bake in preheated oven until browned and crust-like, about 10 minutes.

Spread peach mixture over the crust into an even layer.

 Beat egg yolks, sugar, 3 1/3 tablespoons sour cream, and 2 tablespoons flour together in a small bowl; pour evenly over the layer of peaches. Cover the dish with aluminum foil.

 Bake in the preheated oven for about 35 minutes. Remove aluminum foil and continue baking until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 10 minutes. Let cool slightly before serving warm.
