    Rosemary Peach Hand Pies with White Chocolate Mascarpone

    You know what I like about these Rosemary Peach Hand Pies? They have cheese in them. Okay okay, they also have the summer's juiciest peaches and plenty of butter. Triple win.

    Back in March, Betty from Le Jus D'Orange Facebook chatted me to talk blog shop (and matcha) with sweet compliments studded throughout. Four months later she showed up on my doorstep with bacon, ready to make hand pies. Listen y'all, flattery + bacon will get you all my love.

    What Betty doesn't know is that I secretly did a fangirl dance in my underwear (because that's my food blogger uniform, obviously) when she messaged me. Have you seen this girl's blog? Her photography is insanely gorgeous with such a unique and specific point of view, and she does things with matcha that make my heart flutter.

    Two weeks ago, she orchestrated a plan for the three of us - Alanna from the Bojon Gourmet, Betty, and me - to get together for a hand pie picnic when she was passing through town.

    The perfect excuse to pull out that cat rolling pin my mom snagged for my 30th birthday.

    Note: I'd like my house to become a haven for roaming food bloggers traveling through the Bay (read this as my desperate plea for coworkers). Talented internet friends showing up on your doorstep to cook is always a welcome interruption to the fangirl underwear dance party of one.

    So we turned the oven on for 6 hours to convert the house into a sauna while we rolled out pie dough, took plenty of (cat) pictures, and stuffed ourselves silly with a pie picnic "lunch" at 7pm (just in time for our 8pm dinner reservation).

    Alanna and Betty balanced the meal with two epic savory hand pies and I brought the dessert pies to the party.

    Rosemary and peach are a match made in produce heaven. I'm on an herb + fruit kick lately - if you haven't jumped on this bandwagon yet, you're missing out. As we know, summer's bounty is stellar as is, but when you pair it with a slightly savory herb, the fruit transforms into something exotic and irresistible.

    Especially when bundled up in a flakey buttery gluten-free crust with a swirly bed of white chocolate and mascarpone. Hello summer!

    Ingredients

    Gluten-free Pie Crust
    • ¾ cup (90 g) gluten-free oat flour
    • ½ cup + 1 tablespoon (77 g) millet flour, plus more for rolling
    • ¼ cup + 2 tablespoons (60 g) sweet rice flour
    • ¼ cup + 1 tablespoon (45 g) Bob's Red Mill tapioca flour
    • 1½ tablespoons granulated sugar
    • ¾ teaspoon xanthan gum
    • ¼ teaspoon + 1 pinch kosher salt
    • ¾ cup cold unsalted butter, sliced into 12 tablespoons
    • 4-6 tablespoons ice water
    Rosemary Sugar
    • ¼ cup granulated sugar
    • 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, chopped
    Filling
    • 2 large peaches, peeled and chopped
    • 1 tablespoon Bob’s Red Mill tapioca flour
    • ½ cup mascarpone cheese
    • ½ cup grated white chocolate
    • 1 egg, whisked together with 1 tablespoon of water (to brush over the tops)
    Prevent your screen from going dark

    INSTRUCTIONS

    Gluten-free Pie Crust

    • Whisk together the oat flour, millet flour, sweet rice flour, tapioca starch, sugar, xanthan gum, and salt in a large bowl.
    • Add the cold butter and mix with your hands, breaking up the butter until the largest pieces are about the size of a pea.
    • One tablespoon at a time, dribble in the ice water, combining each time, until the dough holds together when pinched with your fingers (add water until it just holds together, but is not sticky. If you need more water, add a teaspoon at a time).
    • Roll the dough in two balls and flatten into two discs. Wrap with plastic and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
    • Preheat the oven to 400ºF.
    • Sprinkle some millet flour over wax or parchment paper, and roll out the dough over the paper until it’s about ⅛-¼-inch thick. Use a 2-inch for the bottoms and 2½-inch round cutter for the tops to cut out an even number of tops and bottoms of your hand pies, rerolling the dough with millet flour as needed. Store the rounds in the refrigerator on parchment paper squares while you roll out the rest. You should have 10-12 rounds of each size.
    • Slice small Xs in the top of the larger 2½-inch rounds of pie dough (or punch out a small shape).

    For the Hand Pies

    • Pulse the sugar and rosemary together in a food processor until fine. Set the rosemary sugar aside.
    • Heat the peaches in a medium skillet with 2 tablespoons of rosemary sugar and tapioca starch over medium heat until they just begin to soften. Transfer to a bowl and refrigerate until no longer warm.
    • Mix the grated white chocolate together with the mascarpone and set aside.
    • Place a smaller 2-inch round of pie dough down. Spread a small spoonful of mascarpone over the top of the pie round, leaving ⅛-inch edge around the outside. Place heaping tablespoon of cooked peaches on top of the mascarpone. Lay a larger 2½-inch round of pie dough over the peaches and gently press the edges down. Press a fork into the outside edges to seal. Transfer your hand pie to a parchment-lined baking sheet and repeat with remaining dough.
    • Gently brush the tops of the hand pies with the egg wash and sprinkle the remaining rosemary sugar over the top (be careful not to let it get all over your pan or it will burn while you bake your pies).
    • Bake your pies for 30-35 minutes, until the tops are golden brown. Remove from heat and transfer to a wire rack to cool.

    Notes

    *I grind my own oat flour by pulsing gluten-free oats in the blender or food processor until fine, then sifting out any large pieces.

    Bonus picture! When Betty started setting a vegetable scene on the table, I warned her that Artichoke has a thing for corn husks. Just two minutes in he'd already stolen an ear off the table. Instead of disciplining him though, we just stood around snapping pictures. Joke's on him.

      Mmmmh, this was a big hit with my usually somewhat picky family - great! I should have remembered the trick to place the pies on a piece of parchment paper for scoring the sides, though, duh!
