  • 1/2 cup blackberries (optional)
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • zest and juice of 1 lemon
  • pinch of salt

Make the Dough

Method

  • Step 1

    Combine flour, sugar, and salt in a large mixing bowl. Add in cubed unsalted butter and pinch with your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse meal.

  • Step 2

    In a measuring cup, mix together ice water and apple cider vinegar. Scatter the vinegar-ice water over the top of the butter-flour mixture and toss until the dough just comes together.

  • Step 3

    Press the dough into a disk, wrap in plastic, and chill for 1 hour.

  • Step 4

    Once the dough has chilled, roll it out into a large circle about 1/8-inch thick on a lightly floured surface. Transfer to a parchment-lined baking sheet and refrigerate while you prepare the fruit. 

Prepare the Fruit

  • Step 1

    Sprinkle the sliced stone fruit with sugar, zest and juice of 1 lemon, and a pinch of salt. If your fruit is very juicy add the flour, cornstarch, or ground arrowroot.

Assembly

  • Step 1

    Remove the dough from the fridge and scatter it with crumbled Amaretti cookies, toasted breadcrumbs, or the nut-flour mixture (listed in the ingredient section).

  • Step 2

    Then arrange the prepared fruit in the center of the dough, along with the optional blackberries, leaving a 2-inch border. Fold the edges up over the fruit, pleating as you go to secure the filling inside. Chill in the freezer for about 15 minutes. 

  • Step 3

    Preheat the oven to 400° F. Brush the cold pastry border with a little egg wash and sprinkle generously with sugar.

  • Step 4

    Bake on the bottom rack for 45 to 60 minutes, until the juices are bubbling and the crust is well browned. Cool on a wire rack.

  • Step 5

    Serve warm or at room temperature with crème fraîche or ice cream if you’d like.
