Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Roll out one pie crust and place it in a 9-inch pie dish, ensuring it fits snugly.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the sliced nectarines and blueberries. Add the granulated sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice, cinnamon, and vanilla extract. Mix gently until the fruit is well coated.
- Pour the fruit mixture into the prepared pie crust, spreading it evenly.
- Cover the pie with the second pie crust. Trim any excess dough and crimp the edges to seal securely.
- Cut several slits in the top crust to allow steam to escape during baking.
- Brush the top crust with the beaten egg to give it a beautiful golden finish, then sprinkle with turbinado sugar for added texture and sweetness.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
- Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool for at least 1 hour before serving. This allows the filling to set properly.
- Serve warm or at room temperature, and enjoy the delightful flavors!
