Servings: 8
Ingredients
- Turbinado sugar (1 tablespoon, for topping)
- Egg (1, beaten (for egg wash))
- Vanilla extract (1 teaspoon)
- Cinnamon (1/2 teaspoon)
- Lemon juice (1 tablespoon)
- Cornstarch (2 tablespoons)
- Granulated sugar (1/2 cup)
- Blueberries (2 cups, fresh or frozen)
- Peaches (4 cups, peeled and sliced)
- Pie crust (2 (9-inch) crusts))
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Place one pie crust in a 9-inch pie dish, pressing it into the bottom and sides.
- In a large mixing bowl, gently combine the sliced peaches, blueberries, granulated sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice, cinnamon, and vanilla extract. Mix until the fruit is evenly coated.
- Pour the fruit mixture into the prepared pie crust, spreading it out evenly.
- Cover the pie with the second pie crust. Trim any excess dough and crimp the edges to seal the pie securely.
- Cut a few slits in the top crust to allow steam to escape during baking.
- Brush the top crust with the beaten egg and sprinkle with turbinado sugar for a beautiful finish.
- Place the pie on a baking sheet to catch any drips and bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the fruit filling is bubbling.
- Remove the pie from the oven and allow it to cool for at least 1 hour before serving to let the filling set.
