Peach Blueberry Pie image

This is my favorite pie for summertime. My husband loves an all-blueberry pie, but peaches and blueberries are so beautiful together, I throw the peaches in for me.

Time 2h

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

3 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 cup sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
10 ounces unsalted butter, very cold (frozen is fine)
1/3 cup vegetable shortening, cut into 4 pieces, very cold (frozen is even better)
1/2 cup ice water
1/2 cup sugar, plus additional for dusting
1 lemon
2 1/2 pounds peaches, peeled and cut into chunks
2 1/2 pounds fresh blueberries
salt
6 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 large egg, beaten with 1 teaspoon water, for egg wash

Steps:

  • For the crust: Place the flour, sugar, and salt in a food processor fitted with a metal blade; pulse just to combine the ingredients. Drop in the butter and shortening and pulse only until the butter and shortening are cut into the flour. Don't overdo the mixing-what you're aiming for is to have some pieces the size of fat green peas and others the size of barley. Pulsing the machine on and off, gradually add the water until the dough looks evenly moistened and soft curds form.
  • To roll out the dough: Scrape the dough out of the bowl and onto a work surface. Gather together and divide in half, then form into two disks. Place a disk between two pieces of parchment paper and, with a rolling pin, roll it out, continually turning it ⅛ of a turn and rolling until the disk is just bigger than the pie pan. Place into the buttered pie pan and trim the edges. Make a second disk of crust using the same method; then place both in the refrigerator to chill.
  • For the filling: Place the sugar in a large bowl and grate the lemon zest directly over the sugar; combine the sugar and zest with your fingers. Add the peaches and blueberries and toss, then let sit for about 5 minutes. Taste the filling and add a squirt of lemon juice and more sugar if needed. Stir in a pinch of salt and flour and gently mix.
  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Assemble the pie: Remove the pie shell and top crust from the refrigerator and pile the filling into the chilled pie shell. Place water around the edge of the shell, then lay the flat crust on top of the fruit. Squeeze the edges of the top and bottom together; use a fork to crimp the dough to seal it. Brush the crust with an egg wash. Sprinkle sugar on top, then use a knife to make steam vents in the dough, along with a hole in the center. Place pie on a parchment-lined baking sheet and bake 20-30 minutes; then check on the pie, lower the temperature to 375 degrees F, and bake another 30 minutes. (If the crust is browning too quickly, lay a piece of foil on top before returning to the oven.)
  • The pie is finished when the crust is a beautiful golden brown and the filling is bubbling up through the slits. Remove the pie from the oven and allow it to rest for 30 minutes before slicing.

This pie was a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I would reduce the amount of sugar next time. Otherwise, it was a good pie.

I've made this pie several times now and it's always a hit. It's the perfect summer pie, with fresh peaches and blueberries. The crust is always flaky and delicious.

This pie was a disaster! The crust was too thick and the filling was too runny. I had to throw the whole thing away.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my pie didn't turn out as good as the picture. It was still tasty, but it wasn't as beautiful.

The pie was good, but I found the crust to be a bit too thick. I think I would use a different crust recipe next time.

This pie was absolutely delicious! The peaches and blueberries were fresh and juicy, and the crust was perfectly golden brown. I loved the addition of the lemon zest, which gave the pie a bright and refreshing flavor.

I'm not much of a baker, but this pie was surprisingly easy to make. I followed the recipe exactly and it turned out perfectly. The pie was beautiful and tasted even better than it looked.

This peach blueberry pie was a huge hit at my family gathering! The combination of the sweet peaches and tangy blueberries was perfect, and the crust was flaky and delicious. I'll definitely be making this again.
