Introduction

Chinese five spice and super flavourful raw sugar make this make-ahead pie filling a winner! The tapioca flour here is key to the consistency in the finished pie, since it isn't affected the same way as cornstarch and flour by freezing. Makes enough for one 10" deep dish pie, or one regular 9" pie and a peach crisp! 24 1/3-cup servings Chinese five spice and super flavourful raw sugar make this make-ahead pie filling a winner!

Ingredients

    4 lbs peaches, peeled
    3/4 cup raw cane sugar
    1/4 cup tapioca starch/flour (not pearls or granules)
    1/2 tsp salt
    1 tsp Chinese 5-Spice powder

Directions

Slice peaches into thin wedges, trying to preserve as much of the shape and juice as possible. Place into a large bowl.
In a small bowl, combine sugar, tapioca starch, salt and 5-spice.
Pour over the peaches and toss to coat.
Use immediately, OR:
For later pie, line a pie plate with greased foil. Spoon filling into the foil to the rim of the pie plate.
Cover with another layer of greased foil and place in the freezer.
When frozen, remove the foil bundle and store in a heavy-duty freezer bag.
To use, unwrap (still-frozen) filling and place into prepared pie shell. Top with crust and bake immediately at 375F for 55 minutes.
OR
For cobbler or crisp filling, place amount required by the recipe in heavy-duty freezer bags, gently pressing to form a single layer of fruit. Place bags on cookie sheets and freeze solid, then store as desired.
