Ingredients
Scale
- 1 all-butter pie crust (for bottom)
- 1 all-butter pie crust (for top)
- 6 cups peeled chopped peaches (around 950g)
- 1 and 1/2 cups fresh blueberries (210g)
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar (150g)
- 3 tablespoons cornstarch (23g)
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour (25g)
- 3/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/8 teaspoon ground allspice
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice (15ml)
- 1 tablespoon cold unsalted butter (14g), cut into small cubes
- 1 large egg beaten with 1 tablespoon milk (for egg wash)
- Optional: coarse sugar for sprinkling on crust
Instructions
- Prepare the pie crust as per the recipe instructions until step 5.
- Peel the peaches and cut them into 1-inch chunks to accumulate around 6 cups (950g).
- In a large bowl, combine peaches, blueberries, granulated sugar, cornstarch, flour, cinnamon, allspice, and lemon juice. Stir until thoroughly mixed, then refrigerate while preparing the dough.
- Preheat the oven to 425°F (218°C), placing a baking sheet on the lower rack to catch juices.
- Roll out one disc of chilled dough on a floured surface until 12 inches in diameter, then place it into a 9-inch pie dish, smoothing it down with fingers.
- Use a slotted spoon to transfer the filling into the crust, reserving the excess juices in a bowl.
- In a small saucepan, cook the reserved juice over low heat until reduced to a thick consistency, about 1-2 minutes. Cool for 5 minutes, then pour over the filling and toss gently. Dot with cold butter and refrigerate the pie while preparing the top crust.
- Roll out the second disc of dough into a 12-15 inch circle, then cut strips for a lattice design. Weave the strips over and under each other, sealing the edges with a fork or your fingers.
- Brush the top crust with egg wash and sprinkle with coarse sugar if desired.
- Bake at 425°F for 20 minutes, then reduce to 375°F (190°C) without removing the pie. Bake for an additional 45-50 minutes until bubbling. Cover the pie loosely with foil if it browns too quickly.
- Allow the pie to cool on a rack for at least 5 hours before slicing, to ensure the filling sets properly. Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
Notes
Make sure to cool the pie completely before slicing to prevent a watery filling.
Feel free to adjust the sugar level based on the sweetness of the peaches.
For a decorative touch, you can weave the top crust in various patterns.
