Serves: 8 servings
Ingredients
- 2 cups peaches, sliced
- 1 cup berries (blueberries or raspberries)
- 1 cup sugar
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 pie crust
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C), ensuring the rack is positioned in the center of the oven.
- In a large mixing bowl, gently combine sliced peaches and berries, being careful not to crush the fruit.
- Add sugar, cornstarch, and vanilla extract to the fruit mixture, stirring carefully to coat the fruit evenly without breaking the pieces.
- Roll out the pie crust and carefully transfer it to a 9-inch pie dish, allowing some overhang around the edges.
- Pour the fruit mixture into the prepared pie crust, spreading it evenly across the bottom.
- Cut the remaining pie crust into long strips about 1/2 inch wide for creating the lattice top.
- Weave the strips over and under each other to create a classic lattice pattern, trimming excess dough and crimping the edges to seal.
- Brush the lattice top with an egg wash or milk to help achieve a golden brown color during baking.
- Place the pie on a baking sheet to catch any potential drips and bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.
- Remove from oven and let cool for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the filling to set.
- Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream if desired.
Tips
- Choose ripe, seasonal fruits for the most intense flavor and natural sweetness.
- Keep your pie crust ingredients cold to ensure a flaky, tender texture.
- Use a baking sheet under your pie to catch any potential drips and prevent oven mess.
- Let the pie cool for at least 30 minutes after baking to allow the filling to set properly.
- For an extra golden crust, brush with egg wash or milk before baking.
- Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for the ultimate indulgence.
- If the edges of the crust start browning too quickly, cover them with aluminum foil.
