Peach Blueberry Crumb Pie

Tonight for dessert we have Peach Blueberry Crumb Pie! YUMMY!

Pre-heat oven to 400F

Crust:
1.5 C all-purpose flour
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 C shortening
1/4 C cold butter cubed
3 Tbsp cold water

Filling:
8-10 fresh, firm peaches, blanched, skinned, sliced thickly
1/2 C blueberries
1 Tbsp lemon juice
1/4 tsp ground cinnamon
1/4 tsp ground ginger
1/4 C honey
1/4 C sugar
1/4 C tapioca if there is a lot of juice

Crumble:
1/2 C oats
1/3 C flour
1/4 C brown sugar
1/4 C honey
3 Tbsp butter
dashes of cinnamon and ginger

Crust:
In a bowl have flour and salt, in a separate bowl quickly mix together
the butter and shortening, it does not need to be blended, just sort of
lumped together, then add this and cut it into the flour until it is a
bit like crumbly sand. Add water and stir with a spoon until mixed and
it can be formed into a ball. Press it into a 9"pie plate, making a tall
lip and flutes if you like.

Crumb topping: In a bowl melted butter and add the rest of the ingredients, mix together, smushing any sugar lumps.

Filling:
Mix all filling ingredients and let sit 15 minutes, then pour it into
pie crust, add blueberries to top of peaches then add crumb topping.

Bake
at 400F for 15 minutes then reduce heat to 375F for 45 minutes or until
golden brown. Place a cookie sheet on the rack below to catch any
drips. Allow pie to cool on a rack for at least 30 minutes.


I bet this would be really good with raspberries too.

CampRN: Sounds sooo good, but a question: What kind of oats are you using, instant, quick, regular, steel-cut? Inquiring minds want to know. Nonna

Rolled oats, quick or regular.

Thank you. This looks like something I might make this weekend, having blueberries on the bushes, and peaches coming on the market here in the NW. It looks and sounds just wonderful. Also, I'm wondering if it could be made with my funny Garden Huckleberries, which are turning shiny black, and will be ready to start picking and cooking when they turn a dull black. It'll be interesting to see how the two "huckleberries" compare in a pie. Nonna
