Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 3/4 cup cold unsalted butter, cubed
- 1/4 cup ice water
- 5 cups fresh peaches, peeled and sliced
- 1 cup fresh blueberries
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 egg, beaten
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar, for sprinkling
Directions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and salt. Cut in the cold butter using a pastry cutter or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Gradually add the ice water, a tablespoon at a time, until the dough comes together. Form the dough into a ball, wrap it in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a separate mixing bowl, combine the sliced peaches, blueberries, granulated sugar, all-purpose flour, lemon juice, and vanilla extract. Gently toss until the fruit is coated evenly.
- Remove the chilled dough from the refrigerator and divide it in half. Roll out one half to fit a 9-inch pie dish. Place the rolled dough into the pie dish and trim any excess overhang.
- Pour the peach and blueberry filling into the pie crust.
- Roll out the remaining dough and cut it into strips for a lattice topping, or simply place the rolled dough over the filling as a full crust. Seal and crimp the edges as desired.
- Brush the beaten egg over the top crust for a golden finish. Sprinkle the tablespoon of granulated sugar on top.
- Bake the pie in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.
- Remove from the oven and let it cool for at least 2 hours before serving. This will allow the filling to set.
- Serve the peach blueberry pie warm or at room temperature. Enjoy!
