Peachy Blueberry Pie
Ingredients:
| Crust |
| 2 1/4 |
cups all-purpose flour |
| 1/2 |
teaspoon salt |
| 3/4 |
cup solid vegetable shortening |
| 5-7 |
tablespoons cold water |
| Filling |
| 1/2 |
cup sugar |
| 2 |
tablespoons cornstarch |
| 1/4 |
teaspoon ground cinnamon |
| 2 |
packages (16 ounces each) frozen peach slices, thawed |
| 1 |
cup blueberries |
| 1 |
egg |
| 1 |
tablespoon water |
| 2 |
teaspoons sugar (optional) |
| |
Vanilla ice cream (optional) |
Directions:
| Preheat oven to 400°F. For crust, combine flour and salt in large bowl; mix well. Cut shortening into flour mixture using Pastry Blender until shortening resembles the size of small peas. Sprinkle 1 tablespoon of water over flour mixture; gently toss with a fork. Repeat until mixture is moist enough to form a ball. Divide dough in half. Lightly flour Baker's Mat. Place one ball of dough on center of mat; flatten to 1/2-inch thickness. Roll dough from center to edges, forming a 12-inch circle. Place pastry into Deep Dish Pie Plate. Trim pastry even with rim of pie plate. |
| For filling, in large bowl, combine sugar, cornstarch and cinnamon; mix well. Toss peach slices with sugar mixture until evenly coated; gently stir in blueberries. Spoon peach mixture into bottom crust. |
| For top crust, roll remaining dough as directed in Step 1 and place over filling. Fold top crust under bottom crust; seal and flute edges. Whisk egg and water in small bowl; brush evenly over crust. Cut four slits in top crust to allow steam to escape. Sprinkle sugar evenly over crust, if desired. Cover edge of pie with 2- to 3-inch-wide strips of aluminum foil or Pie Shield. Bake 45 minutes; remove foil or Pie Shield. Bake an additional 10-15 minutes or until crust is golden brown. Remove from oven; cool at least 2 hours. Serve with ice cream, if desired. |
