Bursting with the sweet juiciness of fresh blueberries and succulent slices of peaches, this pie is a true ode to the bountiful harvest of summer. Join us on a culinary journey as we craft this irresistible dessert that will captivate your taste buds and leave you longing for more.
Ingredients:
- 2 refrigerated pie crusts
- 4 cups fresh blueberries
- 4 cups sliced fresh peaches
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup cornstarch
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
- 1 tablespoon coarse sugar (for sprinkling)
Directions:
- Preheat and Prepare: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Place one pie crust in the bottom of a 9-inch pie dish, setting the stage for our delectable creation.
- Prepare the Filling: In a large bowl, gently toss together the fresh blueberries, sliced peaches, granulated sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice, cinnamon, and nutmeg until they are harmoniously combined, creating a symphony of flavors.
- Fill the Pie Crust: Spoon the luscious fruit mixture into the prepared pie crust, spreading it out evenly and ensuring that every bite is filled with the essence of summer.
- Top and Seal: Cover the fruit with the second pie crust. Trim and crimp the edges to seal, creating a beautiful and rustic finish. Cut a few slits in the top crust to allow steam to escape, ensuring that our pie bakes to perfection.
- Add Finishing Touches: Brush the top crust with the beaten egg, infusing it with a golden glow that promises a tantalizing aroma. Sprinkle with coarse sugar for an added touch of sweetness and elegance.
- Bake to Golden Perfection: Place the pie on a baking sheet to catch any drips, then bake in the preheated oven for 50 to 60 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling with irresistible goodness.
- Serve and Enjoy: Once baked to perfection, remove the pie from the oven and let it cool on a wire rack before serving, allowing the flavors to meld together and the anticipation to build.
