Summer’s best—California Figs and peaches are full of fiber, vitamins, minerals and health promoting antioxidants. They’re great in summer desserts, salads, entrees and on their own as snacks. In our Peach Fig Sheet Pan Pie, they bring a dynamic’ combination of texture, fruit flavor, and color.
Sheet pan pies can also be found under the moniker, slab pie recipes. They’re shallow pies made in rectangular, rimmed baking sheets and great for feeding a crowd, thus tailor-made for all summer parties.
You can make this pie a day ahead of serving it—just know the streusel topping will be a little less crisp. To streamline the prep, the streusel and dough also can be made a day ahead of baking. Cover and chill. To peel the peaches, simmer in a large pot of boiling water for 60 seconds. With tongs or slotted spoon, remove peaches to a colander. Cool. Slip off the skins.
