Ingredients
For the crust:
- 6 eggs
- 6 tablespoons of sugar
- 250 ml of oil
- 400 g of yogurt
- 1 package of thin pie sheets
- 5 large peaches
- 1 packet of baking powder
- A pinch of salt
For the syrup:
- 4 tablespoons of sugar
- 200 ml of water
- Rum essence (to taste)
Ingredient details
- Peaches: Choose firm but ripe peaches to hold up well during baking. They will give the pie a distinctive flavor.
- Oil: You can use sunflower oil or light olive oil, which will add a subtle note of flavor.
- Yogurt: Choose plain yogurt without flavors so as not to alter the taste of the pie.
- Rum essence: This will add a warm and aromatic note to the syrup, but you can replace it with vanilla essence if you prefer.
Preparation technique
1. Prepare the syrup: Start by making the syrup. In a saucepan, add the 6 tablespoons of sugar and let it melt over medium heat. When the sugar starts to turn golden, carefully add 200 ml of hot water. Stir continuously until the sugar is completely dissolved and the syrup becomes homogeneous. Remove from heat and add the rum essence. Let it cool slightly.
2. Prepare the peaches: Meanwhile, wash the peaches and cut them into larger slices. Dip them in the prepared syrup and let them marinate while you prepare the crust mixture.
3. Prepare the crust: Thaw the pie sheets if they are frozen. In a large bowl, beat the eggs together with the sugar until fluffy and doubled in volume. Add the oil and continue mixing until homogeneous. In another bowl, mix the yogurt with the baking powder and a pinch of salt, then incorporate it into the egg mixture.
4. Assemble the pie: Cut the pie sheets into thin strips, keeping one or two whole to use at the end. In a 24x30 cm tray, grease the bottom with a little oil. Place the whole sheets, then pour in the crust mixture. Arrange the strips of pie on top and gently press them down with a spoon to integrate them into the mixture.
5. Add the peaches: Remove the peach slices from the syrup and arrange them evenly on top of the mixture. When everything is ready, place the tray in the preheated oven at 180 degrees Celsius and bake for 40 minutes or until the pie turns golden.
6. Finish the pie: At the end of the 40 minutes, remove the pie from the oven and pour the remaining syrup on top, allowing it to absorb. Let the pie cool completely before slicing.
My tip
For an extra burst of flavor, you can add cinnamon or nutmeg to the crust mixture. These spices pair wonderfully with the flavors of the pie. Also, feel free to experiment with other fruits, such as nectarines, tangerines, or even cherries, thus adapting the recipe to your personal preferences.
Serving suggestions
This pie is delicious served cold, straight from the fridge. You can accompany it with vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream to enhance the fruit flavor. A cup of fruit tea or a glass of fresh lemonade will perfectly complement this culinary experience.
