Blueberry Peach Pie With Decorative Pie Crust Design Recipes

BLUEBERRY PEACH PIE.

Steps:

• Prepare my pie crust crust through step 5.
• Make the filling by whisking 3/4 cup granulated sugar, the flour, 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon, and allspice into a large bowl. Using a large wooden spoon or rubber spatula, fold in the peaches and blueberries. Set aside.
• Preheat oven to 400°F (204°C).
• On a floured work surface, roll out one of the discs of chilled dough (keep the 2nd in the refrigerator). Turn the dough about a quarter turn after every few rolls until you have a circle 12 inches in diameter. Carefully place the dough into a 9×2 inch pie dish. Tuck it in with your fingers, making sure it is smooth. Spoon the filling into the crust. Cut the butter into tiny pieces and randomly place on top of the filling.
• Remove the other disc of chilled pie dough from the refrigerator. Roll the dough into a circle that is 12 inches diameter. Using a pastry wheel, sharp knife, or pizza cutter, cut strips 1 inch wide. Carefully thread the strips over and under one another, pulling back strips as necessary to weave. Press the edges of the strips into the bottom pie crust edges to seal. Use a small paring knife to trim off excess dough. Crimp the edges with a fork, if desired. (Alternatively, you can simply cover the filling with the 12-inch pie dough circle. Cut slits in the top to form steam vents. Trim and crimp the edges.)
• Brush the lattice top with the beaten egg. A very thin coating - you don't want scrambled eggs on top of your dough. Mix the remaining 1 Tablespoon of granulated sugar with the 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon. Sprinkle over crust.
• Place the pie onto a large baking sheet and bake for 20 minutes. Keeping the pie in the oven, turn the temperature down to 375°F (190°C) and bake for an additional 30-35 minutes. After the first 20 minutes of bake time, I place a pie crust shield on top of the pie to prevent the edges from browning too quickly.
• Allow the pie to cool for 4 full hours at room temperature before serving. This time allows the filling to thicken up. Cover leftovers tightly and store in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.

BLUEBERRY PEACH PIE WITH DECORATIVE PIE CRUST DESIGN

Steps:

• Combine all ingredients in a large bowl and toss with a fork until the fruit is evenly coated.
• Make 1 1/2 batches of your favorite 2 crust pie recipe (my favorite here). Divide into three rounds and chill according to recipe instructions.
• Roll out one all butter pie crust round on a floured surface and lay it in your pie plate.
• Spread the blueberry peach filling evenly in the pie plate.
• Roll out a second pie crust round. Use a knife or a pastry cutter to cut 1-inch strips. For perfect strips, measure and use a ruler as a guide.
• Layer dough strips over pie filling in one direction so filling is completely covered. Roll out the third round of dough. Cut 2 to 3 one-inch strips to use to make the loose lattice design you see in the photos. Fold every other strip back, place a dough strip and then fold the strips back over, creating an over-under lattice design. Repeat.
• Trim strips and pinch edges to seal. With the remaining dough, cut out shapes using pie crust cutters. Arrange dough shapes as desired on top of the lattice strips.
• Brush the pie dough with milk and sprinkle with raw sugar.
• Bake at 425° Fahrenheit for 30 minutes, without opening the oven, reduce temperature to 350° F and bake for another 30 minutes.

Allow fruit to rest for 15 minutes, then transfer to prepared pie plate. Scatter margarine pieces over fruit and brush the edge of the pie with water. Cover pie with remaining crust; press and seal the top and bottom crusts.
• Bake in preheated oven until crust is golden brown and fruit is bubbly 45 to 50 minutes.
