Ingredients
Scale
- 1 all-butter pie crust (for bottom)
- 1 all-butter pie crust (for 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 steps 1-5 of the recipe.
- Peel and chop the peaches into 1-inch chunks, yielding about 6 cups.
- Combine the peaches, blueberries, sugar, cornstarch, flour, cinnamon, allspice, and lemon juice in a large bowl. Mix thoroughly and refrigerate the filling.
- Preheat the oven to 425°F (218°C) and place a baking sheet in the bottom rack to catch any drips.
- Roll out one pie dough disk on a floured surface to about 12 inches in diameter, then place it in a 9-inch pie dish, smoothing the edges.
- Use a slotted spoon to fill the crust with the fruit mixture, reserving the juice in the bowl.
- Reduce the reserved juice in a saucepan over low heat until thickened, then mix with the filling, dot with cold butter, and refrigerate.
- Roll out the second dough disk into a circle of 12-15 inches. Cut it into strips for a lattice top and weave them over the filling, sealing the edges neatly.
- Brush the top crust with the egg wash and sprinkle with sugar if desired.
- Bake for 20 minutes at 425°F, then reduce the oven temperature to 375°F and continue baking for 45-50 minutes until juices are bubbling.
- Allow the pie to cool for at least 5 hours before slicing for best results; this will prevent a soupy filling.
Notes
Cool the pie completely before slicing to achieve neat slices.
Leftover pie can be stored tightly covered in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
Consider using fresh, ripe peaches for the best flavor.
