It’s the end of the season for fresh Arizona peaches so I thought I’d share the big season finale in the form of a mouthwatering pie! This pie has double billing, though, because I’ve paired the peaches with fresh blueberries. The combination is out of this world! You can use your favorite pie crust recipe, but I’ve cheated with a store bought crust and gave you some tips on making it taste homemade, like pre-baking the bottom shell with a little sugar! If building a lattice crust has been a pesky task for you, I’ve also included the best ever guide for making lattice topping easy and foolproof!

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Sprinkle 1-2 tablespoons sugar over 1 uncooked pie crust. Bake for about 15 minutes or until just golden brown. Score peaches with an "X" and blanch in boiling water for 2 minutes. Remove and skin peaches. (Option rather than blanching, slice peaches then skin each slice.) In a medium saucepan, cook peaches, 2 tablespoons butter, 1/4 cup brown sugar (or more if peaches are not sweet), juice of 1/2 lemon, 1 teaspoon salt and cinnamon. Cook until thickened, about 5 minutes. ( If mixture is too thin, add cornstarch or flour to thicken.) Remove to a bowl, clean saucepan and repeat process with blueberries, adding remainder of butter, brown sugar, lemon and salt. (Do not use cinnamon.) Add corn starch or flour to thicken. Fill cooked pie crust with alternate spoonfuls of berries and peaches. Prepare Lattice Crust and place over top of pie. ( Make your lattice top by slicing 1/2 in strips with the second pie crust. Lay 5 strips vertically. Then take the middle, and first and last strip and fold back. Add the first horizontal strip in the middle of the pie. Put the vertical layers back, and then do the same with the opposite strips, adding a horizontal layer every time you switch. So, first, third and fifth strips, then 2 and 4th.)

Optional

1. For a glossy finish, brush egg-wash over top and sprinkle with decorative sugar. Bake for about 25 minutes or until dough on top is golden brown.

Recipe Notes

I used the leftover dough to make a dough border around the pie. I will buy an extra pie shell to use as a border around the pie.
