Ingredients
- 2.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 0.25 cups Granulated sugar
- 1 cups Unsalted butter (cold, cubed)
- 6 tablespoons Ice water
- 1 cups Blueberries (fresh or frozen)
- 1 cups Strawberries (hulled and halved)
- 2 cups Peaches (peeled and sliced)
- 2 tablespoons Cornstarch
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 Egg (beaten, for egg wash)
- 2 tablespoons Coarse sugar (for topping)
Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour and granulated sugar.
Step 2
Add the cold, cubed unsalted butter to the flour mixture. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to work the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Step 3
Gradually add the ice water, one tablespoon at a time, mixing until the dough comes together. Be careful not to overwork the dough.
Step 4
Divide the dough into two equal portions, shape each into a disc, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
Step 5
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Step 6
In a large bowl, combine the blueberries, strawberries, and sliced peaches. Add the cornstarch, lemon juice, ground cinnamon, vanilla extract, and 1/4 cup of granulated sugar (if your fruit is very sweet, you can reduce the sugar). Toss gently to coat the fruit evenly.
Step 7
On a floured surface, roll out one disc of the chilled dough into a 12-inch circle. Carefully transfer it to a 9-inch pie dish, pressing it gently into the bottom and sides.
Step 8
Pour the fruit mixture into the pie crust, spreading it out evenly.
Step 9
Roll out the second disc of dough and either place it whole over the fruit (for a simple top crust) or cut it into strips for a lattice design.
Step 10
If using a whole top crust, cut a few small slits in the center for ventilation. If making a lattice, weave the strips over the filling.
Step 11
Trim any excess dough hanging over the edges of the pie dish and crimp the edges to seal.
Step 12
Brush the top crust with the beaten egg using a pastry brush, then sprinkle with coarse sugar.
Step 13
Place the pie on a baking sheet to catch any drips and bake in the preheated oven for 50 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.
Step 14
Let the pie cool on a wire rack for at least 2 hours before slicing and serving. This allows the filling to set properly.
Step 15
Serve the pie warm or at room temperature, optionally with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.
