Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider adding a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg to the filling. If you don't have fresh blueberries, frozen ones will work; just add them directly without thawing. You can substitute the peaches with nectarines or plums for a different twist. Make sure to use a fully baked pie shell to avoid a soggy bottom.
Serving Suggestions
Serve your Fresh Blueberry-Peach Pie chilled, topped with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a delightful contrast.

Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover pie in the refrigerator, tightly covered with plastic wrap or aluminum foil, for up to 3 days. To reheat, place slices in a preheated oven at 350°F for about 10 minutes, or until warmed through, to revive the flaky crust.
