PEACH PECAN RECIPES

Steps:

• Heat oven to 475°F. In Dutch oven, stir peaches, 3 cups of sugar, flour and nutmeg. Let stand 10 minutes. Heat to boiling; reduce heat. Simmer 10 minutes or until peaches are tender. Remove from heat; stir in butter and vanilla.
• Remove 2 pie crusts from pouches; unroll on work surface. Sprinkle 1/4 cup of the pecans and 2 tablespoons sugar over 1 crust; top with second crust. Roll into 12-inch round, gently pressing pecans into dough. Cut into 1 1/2-inch strips. Repeat with remaining 2 pie crusts, 1/4 cup pecans and 2 tablespoons sugar.
• Spoon half of peach mixture into greased 13x9-inch or 2 8-inch baking dishes. Arrange half of pastry strips in lattice design over mixture. Bake 20 minutes or until lightly browned. Spoon remaining peach mixture over baked pastry. Top with remaining pastry strips in lattice design. Bake 15 minutes longer or until filling is bubbly and pastry is lightly browned. Serve warm or cold.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a 9-inch square baking pan.
• In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the butter and 1 cup of the sugar for 3 to 5 minutes on medium-high speed, until light and fluffy. With the mixer on low, add the eggs, one at a time, then the sour cream and vanilla, and mix until the batter is smooth. In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. With the mixer on low, slowly add the dry ingredients to the batter and mix just until combined. In a small bowl, combine the remaining 1/2 cup sugar and the cinnamon.
• Spread half of the batter evenly in the pan. Top with half of the peaches, then sprinkle with two-thirds of the sugar mixture. Spread the remaining batter on top, arrange the remaining peaches on top, and sprinkle with the remaining sugar mixture and the pecans.
• Bake the cake for 45 to 55 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Serve warm or at room temperature.
