Supplies

  • 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour, sifted and chilled
  • 1 stick (1/2 cup) unsalted butter, cubed and chilled
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • Water with a few ice cubes
  • Milk for brushing on crust
  • 1 pint fresh blueberries
  • 2 peaches, sliced
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Steps

  1. In a bowl, cut chilled butter into chilled flour. The goal is to create a crumbly mixture by breaking the butter into smaller pieces and combining them with flour.
  2. Once you have finer crumbles, begin adding iced water (a tablespoon or two at a time) and continue mixing until larger clumps are formed.
  3. Turn out onto a floured surface and gently knead dough into a rough disc.
  4. Wrap in plastic and let chill for 30 minutes.
  5. Preheat oven to 375°F.
  6. In a bowl, toss blueberries, peach slices, sugar, cornstarch, lemon, and vanilla together.
  7. Set aside.
  8. Lightly flour your surface, and roll out pie dough into 13-14 inch diameter.
  9. Place on parchment-lined baking tray.
  10. Leaving a 2-inch border around the edges, place a mound of the filling in the center.
  11. Arrange the peach slices to form a circular pattern.
  12. Fold and slightly crimp the edges. Brush the edges with milk.
  13. Bake for about 40-45 minutes, or until the filling is bubbling and the crust is golden brown.
  14. Allow to cool before slicing and serving.
