Ingredients
Scale
- 1 all-butter pie crust (enough for bottom and top)
- 6 cups (around 950g) peeled chopped peaches, cut into 1-inch chunks
- 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 for egg wash
- optional: coarse sugar for sprinkling on crust
Instructions
- Prepare the pie crust according to your recipe until step 5.
- Peel and chop the peaches into 1-inch pieces, yielding about 6 cups or 950g.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the peach chunks, blueberries, granulated sugar, cornstarch, flour, cinnamon, allspice, and lemon juice until well mixed. Refrigerate the filling while you prepare the crust.
- Preheat the oven to 425°F (218°C) and adjust the oven rack to the lower third. Place a baking sheet on the lower rack.
- Roll out one disc of chilled dough on a floured surface until you reach a circle about 12 inches wide. Fit it into a 9-inch pie dish, smoothing with your fingers.
- Using a slotted spoon, fill the crust with the fruit mixture and reserve any excess juice in the bowl. Chill the pie, uncovered, while you reduce the excess juice.
- Cook the reserved juice in a small saucepan over low heat, stirring until it thickens, about 1-2 minutes. Allow it to cool before pouring it over the fruit filling. Dot with cold butter.
- Roll out the second disc of dough into a circle about 12-15 inches wide. Cut strips of dough for weaving a lattice crust, placing them in an over-under pattern over the pie filling. Trim and seal the edges of the crust to form a smooth rim.
- Brush the top crust lightly with the egg wash and sprinkle with coarse sugar, if desired.
- Bake at 425°F for 20 minutes, then reduce the temperature to 375°F (190°C) without removing the pie from the oven. Use a pie crust shield and continue baking until juices are bubbling, approximately 45-50 minutes.
- After baking, transfer the pie to a cooling rack and let it rest for at least 5 hours before slicing to ensure the filling sets properly.
- Store any leftovers tightly covered in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
Notes
Allow the pie to cool completely before slicing to avoid a runny filling.
The lattice top can be made with any design you prefer—get creative!
For a sweeter filling, adjust the sugar according to your taste.
