Ingredients

• 2 discs Pie crust (store-bought or homemade)
• 4 medium Nectarines
• 2 cups Mixed berries (such as raspberries, blackberries, blueberries, or strawberries)
• 0.75 cups Granulated sugar
• 3 tablespoons All-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons Cornstarch
• 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter (cut into small cubes)
• 1 Egg (for egg wash)
• 1 tablespoon Water (for egg wash)
• 1 tablespoon Coarse sugar (optional, for topping)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

If using store-bought pie crusts, allow them to come to room temperature for about 15 minutes while preparing the filling.

Step 3

Wash the nectarines and berries. Slice the nectarines into thin wedges and hull or halve any larger berries, like strawberries.

Step 4

In a large mixing bowl, combine the sliced nectarines, berries, granulated sugar, flour, cornstarch, lemon juice, vanilla extract, and ground cinnamon. Gently toss until the fruit is coated and the mixture is evenly combined. Set aside.

Step 5

Roll out the first pie crust and fit it into a 9-inch pie dish. Trim any overhanging edges.

Step 6

Pour the prepared fruit filling into the pie crust, ensuring an even layer. Dot the filling with the cubed unsalted butter.

Step 7

Roll out the second pie crust and place it over the fruit filling. You can either keep it whole and cut a few slits for ventilation, or create a lattice pattern for a decorative touch. Seal the edges by crimping them together or pressing with a fork, and trim any excess dough.

Step 8

In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and water to make an egg wash. Brush the top crust with the egg wash to encourage browning. Sprinkle coarse sugar over the top if desired.

Step 9

Place the pie dish on a baking sheet to catch any juices that may bubble over. Transfer to the preheated oven and bake for 50 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.

Step 10

Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool on a wire rack for at least 2 hours to allow the filling to set.

Step 11

Slice and serve the pie on its own or with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. Enjoy!
