Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Roll the pie crust out into a big circle, about 12 inches in diameter. Don’t worry if it’s not a perfect circle. Transfer the pie crust onto a rimmed baking sheet, then keep in the freezer or fridge while you work on the peaches. Cut the peaches into quarters, then cut the quarters into quarters, for a total of 16 slices per peach. Discard the pits. Toss the peaches in a big mixing bowl with the brown sugar, cinnamon, spiced rum, vanilla extract, lemon juice, and flour. Set this mixture aside. Dump the peaches, along with any of the liquid in the bowl, onto the center of the rolled out pie crust, leaving a 2 inch rim on all sides of the peaches. Distribute the peaches as necessary to form into a relatively flat layer (it’s okay to have the peaches piled up on top of each other). Gently fold the sides of the pie crust up and over the peaches, then brush the crust with heavy cream. Sprinkle turbinado sugar all over the heavy cream brushed pie crust. Bake the crostata for about 40 minutes until the edges are golden brown and the peaches are bubbling. Serve warm with a big scoop of ice cream, if desired. Enjoy!

Preheat the oven to 325°F. Bring a small pot of water to a boil over high heat. Using a small, sharp knife, cut a small “x” into the skin at the bottom of each peach. Place the peaches in boiling water for 20 seconds. Pour into a colander and rinse under cool running water. Starting at the “x,” peel the skin from the peaches and discard. Slice the peaches and place in a small bowl, sprinkling with the 3 tablespoons sugar and set aside. In a medium bowl, combine the remaining 5 tablespoons sugar with the flour, Earth Balance, nutmeg, and almond extract. Using your fingers, rub the mixture together until incorporated and set aside. Dust a clean work surface with flour. Roll the pastry dough out into a circle about 13 inches across, trimming the edges so they are even. Transfer the dough to a sheet of parchment paper. Spread two-thirds of the sugar-flour mixture on the bottom of the crust, leaving a 2-inch border around the edge. Place two-thirds of the peaches over the flour mixture. Sprinkle the remaining flour mixture over the peaches. Add the remaining peaches on top. Fold the outer edge of the pastry dough in over the crostata to create a crust, pinching excess dough to secure. Leaving the crostata on the parchment paper, transfer to a baking sheet. Sprinkle the sliced almonds on top and bake until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly, about 50 minutes. Remove from the oven and allow to cool on a wire rack for at least 10 minutes before serving. Serve hot, warm, or at room temperature.

For the pastry: In a large bowl or in the bowl of a food processor, combine the flour, cornmeal, sugar, salt, baking soda, baking powder, and lemon zest. Cut the butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture is crumbly by either pulsing it in the processor or using a pastry blender, a couple of knives, or your fingertips. If using a food processor, be sure not to overmix, which will cause the butter to soften too much. Add the heavy cream, Marsala, and the cheese, if you’re using it. Pulse briefly just until moist clumps form or stir with a fork until just combined. Divide the dough into 4 pieces, shape them into discs, wrap well in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour and up to a day. For the filling: Combine the peaches, sugar, butter, and cornstarch in a large bowl; set aside. To bake the crostatas: Heat the oven to 375 degrees F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper and flour a work surface well. Shape the tarts by rolling each dough disc into a circle 7 inches across and between 1/8 and 1/4 inch thick (they don’t have to be perfectly round). Top the dough rounds with the peaches, leaving a 1-inch border of dough empty. If using the pecorino, sprinkle about 1/2 tablespoon over each crostata. Fold the edges of the rounds up and over the peaches, pleating loosely. Carefully transfer the tarts to the parchment-lined baking sheets. Bake the crostatas until the dough turns a deep golden brown, 25 to 30 minutes. Cool slightly and serve with additional grated pecorino, if you like.
