Ingredients
Instructions
- Mix sliced peaches, blueberries, sugar, and cornstarch and let set for 15 minutes.

- Bake at 375°F until the crust is golden brown.
Tips & Substitutions
For a sweeter pie, adjust the sugar to taste, especially if your peaches are tart. If you don't have cornstarch, you can substitute it with tapioca flour for a similar thickening effect. Ensure the pie crust is chilled before filling to prevent a soggy bottom. Consider using Patra'S Favorite Pie Crust for a flaky texture that complements the fruit beautifully.
Serving Suggestions
This peach pie is best served warm or at room temperature. Consider pairing it with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for an indulgent treat. It also goes well with a side of fresh fruit salad or a light yogurt to balance the sweetness. For a twist, serve alongside slices of Mona'S Pumpkin Bread during a fall gathering.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover peach pie in the refrigerator, covered with plastic wrap or in an airtight container, for up to 3 days. To reheat, place slices in a preheated oven at 350°F for about 10-15 minutes, or until warmed through. This will help restore the crust's crispiness while keeping the filling delicious.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use frozen peaches for this recipe?
Yes, you can use frozen peaches, but be sure to thaw and drain excess moisture before mixing them with the blueberries. This will prevent the pie from becoming too watery. Adjust the sugar based on the sweetness of the frozen fruit.
What can I do if my pie crust is too thick?
If your pie crust is too thick, it may not bake evenly. Roll it out to about 1/8 inch thickness for a more balanced texture. You can also cut slits in the top crust to allow steam to escape and ensure a crisp finish.
How can I make this pie gluten-free?
To make a gluten-free peach pie, substitute regular pie crust with a gluten-free pie crust like Pasty-Double Crust. Ensure all other ingredients, including cornstarch and sugar, are certified gluten-free to accommodate dietary needs.
