Serves: 8 servings
Ingredients
- 1 pie crust
- 3 cups peaches, sliced
- 1 cup blueberries
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 1 tablespoon butter, diced
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Position a rack in the lower third of the oven to ensure even baking.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine sliced peaches and blueberries. Gently toss the fruits to mix evenly.
- Add brown sugar, lemon juice, cinnamon, and cornstarch to the fruit mixture. Stir carefully to coat the fruits completely without breaking the delicate blueberries.
- Roll out the pie crust and carefully transfer it to a 9-inch pie dish. Trim the edges, leaving a slight overhang.
- Pour the fruit mixture into the pie crust, spreading it evenly. Dot the top of the filling with diced butter pieces.
- If desired, create a lattice top or cover with a full second crust. Cut a few slits for steam to escape if using a full top crust.
- Crimp the edges of the pie crust to seal, and brush the top crust with an egg wash for a golden finish (optional).
- Place the pie on a baking sheet to catch any potential drips, and bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.
- Remove from the oven and let cool on a wire rack for at least 2 hours to allow the filling to set completely.
- Serve warm or at room temperature, optionally topped with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
Tips
- Choose perfectly ripe fruits for the most intense flavor - look for peaches that give slightly when pressed and blueberries that are deep blue and plump.
- Keep your pie crust ingredients extremely cold to ensure a flaky, tender crust. Chill your butter and use ice water when preparing the dough.
- Use a baking sheet under your pie to catch any potential drips and prevent messy oven spills.
- Allow the pie to cool completely (about 2-3 hours) before slicing to ensure the filling sets properly and doesn't run.
- For an extra golden and glossy crust, brush the top with an egg wash made from one beaten egg mixed with a tablespoon of water.
- If the pie edges start browning too quickly, cover them with aluminum foil to prevent burning while the center continues to bake.
- Serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream to elevate this already spectacular dessert to new heights of deliciousness!
