Ingredients
Scale
- 1 all-butter pie crust
- 6 cups (around 950g) peeled chopped peaches
- 1 and 1/2 cups (210g) fresh blueberries
- 3/4 cup (150g) granulated sugar
- 3 tablespoons (23g) cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons (25g) all-purpose flour
- 3/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/8 teaspoon ground allspice
- 1 tablespoon (15ml) fresh lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon (14g) cold unsalted butter, cut into small cubes
- 1 large egg beaten with 1 tablespoon (15ml) milk (egg wash)
- optional: coarse sugar for sprinkling on crust
Instructions
- Prepare the pie crust according to your recipe through step 5.
- Peel and chop the peaches into 1-inch chunks, measuring about 6 cups or 950g.
- In a large bowl, combine peach chunks, blueberries, sugar, cornstarch, flour, cinnamon, allspice, and lemon juice until well mixed. Refrigerate the filling while rolling out the dough.
- Adjust your oven rack to the lower third and preheat to 425°F (218°C), placing a baking sheet on the bottom rack.
- Roll out one disc of cold dough on a floured surface to a circle of 12 inches. Place it in a 9-inch pie dish, making sure it fits smoothly.
- Using a slotted spoon, transfer filling into the crust, leaving the juice behind. Refrigerate the pie while reducing the juice.
- Cook the reserved juice in a small saucepan over low heat until thickened, about 1-2 minutes. Cool slightly and pour over the fruit filling, gently mixing.
- Roll out the second disc of dough to a circle of 12-15 inches. Cut strips for a lattice top and weave them over the filling. Trim excess dough and crimp the edges.
- Brush the top crust with the egg wash and sprinkle with coarse sugar if desired.
- Bake the pie for 20 minutes at 425°F, then lower the temperature to 375°F and continue baking for 45-50 minutes until bubbling.
- Cool the pie on a rack for at least 5 hours before serving to allow the filling to set.
- Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
Notes
Ensure to cool the pie completely before slicing to maintain the filling’s integrity.
For a golden crust, be sure to apply the egg wash generously before baking.
Feel free to add a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top when serving!
