Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 3/4 cup unsalted butter, chilled and diced
• 5-6 tablespoons ice water
• 4 cups fresh peaches, peeled and sliced
• 1 cup fresh berries (raspberries, blueberries, or blackberries)
• 3/4 cup granulated sugar
• 1/4 cup cornstarch
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 tablespoon butter, diced
• 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
• 2 tablespoons granulated sugar (for sprinkling)

Directions

1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour and salt. Cut in the chilled butter using a pastry cutter or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
2. Drizzle the ice water over the flour mixture, 1 tablespoon at a time, tossing with a fork after each addition. Continue adding water until the dough comes together.
3. Divide the dough in half and shape each portion into a disk. Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
4. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
5. In a separate bowl, combine the sliced peaches, berries, granulated sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice, and vanilla extract. Mix well to coat the fruit evenly.
6. Remove one portion of the dough from the refrigerator and roll it out on a floured surface to fit a 9-inch pie dish. Place the rolled-out dough into the pie dish, trimming the excess edges.
7. Pour the fruit mixture into the pie crust, distributing it evenly. Dot the top with diced butter.
8. Roll out the second portion of dough and create a lattice pattern or simply cover the top of the pie. Trim and crimp the edges to seal the pie.
9. Brush the top of the pie crust with the beaten egg for a golden finish. Sprinkle granulated sugar over the crust.
10. Place the pie on a baking sheet to catch any drips and bake for 40-45 minutes or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
11. Remove the pie from the oven and allow it to cool for at least 1 hour before serving. This will allow the filling to set.
12. Serve the Peach-a-Berry Pie warm or at room temperature. Enjoy!
