DifficultyMedium

Ingredients

  • 2 (9-inch)pie crusts, chilled
  • 3 cupsfresh blueberries≈ 297 median blueberries
  • 3 cupspeaches, peeled and sliced (about 4 medium)
  • 3/4 cupgranulated sugar
  • 1/3 cupcornstarch
  • 1 tbsplemon juice
  • 1/2 tspground cinnamon
  • 1/4 tspground nutmeg
  • 1/4 tspfine salt
  • 2 tbspunsalted butter, cut into small pieces
  • 1egg, beaten (for wash)
  • 1 tbspcoarse sugar (for topping)

Steps

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (205°C) with a foil-lined baking sheet on the lower rack.
  2. Fit one crust into a 9-inch pie dish and refrigerate.
  3. Toss blueberries and peaches with sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Let stand 10 minutes so the fruit releases juice and the cornstarch hydrates.
  4. Pour the filling into the chilled crust, mounding slightly. Dot with butter.
  5. Top with the second crust — solid with vents, or a lattice — and crimp the edges.
  6. Brush with egg and sprinkle with coarse sugar.
  7. Bake 20 minutes at 400°F, then reduce to 375°F (190°C) for another 40–45 minutes, until the filling bubbles thickly at the center.
  8. Cool at least 3 hours. Peaches release more liquid than blueberries alone, so this one genuinely needs the full set time.

Notes

  • Peel peaches easily by scoring an X in the base and dunking in boiling water for 30 seconds.
  • The extra cornstarch is not a typo — peaches are far juicier than blueberries.
