Ingredients You’ll Need
- All-butter pie crust (recipe makes 2 crusts, 1 for bottom and 1 for top): This ensures a flaky, golden crust that pairs perfectly with the fruit filling. Pre-prepared crusts can work too if you’re short on time.
- 6 cups (around 950g) peeled chopped peaches: Fresh, ripe peaches provide sweetness and a pleasant softness. If you’re in a bind, you could use frozen peaches.
- 1 and 1/2 cups (210g) fresh blueberries: These gems add juicy bursts and a slight tartness to balance the sweetness of the peaches.
- 3/4 cup (150g) granulated sugar: Essential for sweetness, the sugar enhances the natural flavors of the fruit.
- 3 tablespoons (23g) cornstarch: This helps thicken the filling for a better texture, preventing it from becoming runny.
- 2 tablespoons (25g) all-purpose flour: Another thickening agent that works with cornstarch to create the ideal pie consistency.
- 3/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon: This warming spice adds depth to the flavor, enriching the overall taste of the pie.
- 1/8 teaspoon ground allspice: It introduces a subtle warmth, enhancing both the blueberries and peaches beautifully.
- 1 tablespoon (15ml) fresh lemon juice: A touch of acidity that brightens the flavors and keeps the peaches from browning.
- 1 tablespoon (14g) cold unsalted butter, cut into small cubes: These little chunks melt during baking, creating a rich flavor while keeping the filling moist.
- Egg wash: Made from 1 large egg beaten with 1 tablespoon (15ml) milk, this gives your crust a beautiful, shiny finish.
- Optional: coarse sugar for sprinkling on crust: It adds a nice crunch and sparkly finish on top to make your pie even more enticing.
How to Make Blueberry Peach Pie
- Prepare the pie crust: Start by making your all-butter pie crust following your chosen recipe through step 5 to get that perfect flaky base ready.
- Prepare the fruit: Peel the peaches carefully, then cut them into 1-inch chunks until you have about 6 cups of peach pieces, weighing around 950g.
- Mix the filling: In a large bowl, combine your chopped peach chunks with 1 and 1/2 cups (210g) of fresh blueberries, 3/4 cup (150g) granulated sugar, 3 tablespoons (23g) cornstarch, 2 tablespoons (25g) all-purpose flour, 3/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1/8 teaspoon ground allspice, and 1 tablespoon (15ml) fresh lemon juice. Stir until well combined, then set this fruity mixture in the refrigerator while you roll out your dough.
- Preheat your oven: Adjust the oven rack to the lower third position and preheat to 425°F (218°C). Place a baking sheet on the bottom oven rack to catch any juices that might bubble over—trust me, you’ll thank yourself later!
- Roll out the crust: On a floured surface, roll out one of the discs of chilled dough until you have a circle that’s about 12 inches in diameter. Carefully transfer it into your 9-inch round pie dish, smoothing it into the edges.
- Add the filling: Use a slotted spoon to transfer your fruit filling into the crust, reserving any excess juice in the bowl. Let the pie sit uncovered in the fridge as you reduce the leftover juice.
- Reduce the juice: Pour the reserved juice into a small saucepan, cooking over low heat until it thickens to an applesauce-like consistency, about 1–2 minutes. Let it cool for 5 minutes before pouring it over the filling, gently tossing to combine.
- Prepare the top crust: Remove the other disc of chilled pie dough from the fridge and roll it into a 12–15 inch circle. Using a sharp knife or pizza cutter, cut it into strips. Create a woven lattice design over the fruit filling, trimming excess dough to about 1.5–2 inches over the edge. Fold the bottom pie crust edges over the lattice to create a neat rim, crimping or fluting as you prefer.
- Add egg wash: Lightly brush the top of your crust with the egg wash and sprinkle with coarse sugar, if desired.
- Bake your pie: Bake the pie at 425°F for 20 minutes. Without removing the pie from the oven, reduce the temperature to 375°F (190°C). Cover the edges with a pie crust shield to prevent over-browning and continue baking for an additional 45–50 minutes until the juices are bubbling throughout. To ensure it’s fully baked, use an instant-read thermometer to check that the filling is around 200°F (93°C) when done.
- Cool and serve: Once baked, allow the pie to cool on a cooling rack for at least 5 hours before slicing. This waiting time is crucial; cutting too early may result in a soupy filling!
- Store leftovers: If you have any pie left after savoring, cover it tightly and store it in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
Storing & Reheating
Store your Blueberry Peach Pie at room temperature for up to 2 days, ensuring it’s covered lightly to keep it fresh. For longer storage, refrigerate it in an airtight container, where it will last up to 5 days. If you want to freeze it, wrap the pie tightly in plastic wrap and then foil to prevent freezer burn, allowing it to remain fresh for up to 3 months. When you’re ready to enjoy, simply reheat slices in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10-15 minutes. Note that the texture may change slightly after freezing, so refreshing it in the oven will help bring back its flaky goodness.
Chef’s Helpful Tips
- Ensure your pie crust is cold before you roll it out. This is key for achieving flaky layers.
- If your pie starts to brown too quickly, use strips of foil or a pie crust shield to protect the edges.
- When measuring your fruit, don’t pack it down; just fill the measuring cup lightly to maintain the right consistency.
- Keep an eye on the pie while it bakes, especially during the last 10 minutes; you want it beautifully golden on top, but not burnt.
- Feel free to experiment with other fruits along with blueberries and peaches, such as cherries or strawberries, for a unique twist.
Indulging in a slice of Blueberry Peach Pie brings all the warm feels associated with homemade desserts. With every bite, you’re not just tasting a dessert; you’re taking a trip down memory lane, and creating new memories in the process. Share it with friends, enjoy it during family gatherings, or treat yourself after a long day. The joy this pie brings is unparalleled. So gather your ingredients, follow these simple steps, and let this stunning dessert work its magic!

Recipe FAQs
Can I use frozen peaches or blueberries?
Absolutely! Frozen fruit is a great alternative, especially if fresh fruit isn’t available. Just ensure to thaw and drain any excess moisture before using to avoid a soggy pie.
How can I make the crust ahead of time?
You can prepare your pie crust and wrap it tightly in plastic wrap, then refrigerate it for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 3 months. Just allow it to thaw in the fridge before rolling out.
What should I do if my pie crust is too tough?
If your crust becomes tough, it can be due to overworking the dough or not having enough moisture. Always handle the dough gently and consider adding a little more water if it seems dry while mixing.
Can I prepare the filling in advance?
Yes! You can make the filling a day in advance and store it in the refrigerator. Just be sure to let it come to room temperature before adding it to the crust for baking.
