Ingredients

  • 1 ½ cup all purpose flour
  • 1 tbsp granulated sugar
  • ½ tsp salt
  • 1 tbsp lemon zest
  • 1 cup butter (frozen and cubed)
  • ¼ cup ice water
  • 3 ripe fuyu persimmons (cut into ¼-inch discs)
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar
  • 2 tbsp brown sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • ½ tsp ground cinnamon
  • ¼ cup candied pecans
  • Vanilla bean ice cream or 2-Ingredient Whipped Cream

Directions

  1. 1

    Add flour, sugar, and salt to food processor. Pulse the flour mixture a couple of times. Add butter and lemon zest, then pulse again until the butter and flour form small chunks. Add water and pulse until the dough comes together and forms a ball.

  2. 2

    In a large mixing bowl, add the flour, sugar, and salt. Then, whisk the dry ingredients until well mixed. Add the butter to the dry ingredients and toss until the butter is coated with flour. Use your fingers and palms to pinch the butter until it forms pea-sized bits of floury butter. Stir in water. Use your hands to knead the dough until the ingredients are fully incorporated and the dough forms a cohesive ball.

  3. 3

    Heat oven to 400° F.
