Time 55m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 8

4 small ripe peaches, washed and dried
1 (9 inch) prepared, unbaked pie crust, thawed
¼ cup butter
½ cup confectioners' sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
¼ teaspoon ground allspice
1 pinch salt
¼ cup heavy cream

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Lightly grease the bottom of a shallow baking pan.
  • Unroll the prepared pie crust onto a lightly floured surface, and cut into 1/2 inch wide strips. Place peach stem side down, and wrap strips of dough--over-lapping rows--around the fruit so it's completely covered. For ease, twirl the peach while holding the pastry in place and overlap rows. When completely wrapped, the peach will resemble a beehive. Make sure the entire peach is covered and sealed inside the crust. Repeat with remaining peaches. Arrange the wrapped peaches in a shallow baking pan.
  • Bake peaches in preheated oven until crust turns golden brown, 35 to 40 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, cream butter with 1/4 cup confectioners' sugar in a mixing bowl until light and fluffy. Beat in the vanilla extract, allspice, salt, and heavy cream until well blended. Stir in the remaining 1/4 cup confectioners' sugar.
  • To serve, place baked peaches in serving bowls. Slice each peach in half and remove the pits. Spoon hard sauce over the peach halves.
