How to Make Deep Dish Blackberry Peach Double Crust Pie
- Prepare your favorite pie crust recipe (or use store-bought) and refrigerate until firm enough to roll (about 30 minutes).
- While the crust chills, prepare the peaches: Bring 2-3 quarts of water to a boil in a large pot. Blanch the peaches one at a time by submerging them in the boiling water for 15 seconds. Remove with a slotted spoon and immediately transfer to an ice bath.
- Once cool enough to handle, easily peel the peach skins and slice into 1/2-inch thick pieces. Measure out 4 cups of sliced peaches.
- In a large bowl, gently combine the 4 cups of sliced peaches, 2 cups of fresh blackberries, and 1 cup of granulated sugar. Toss to coat evenly and set aside for 15 minutes to allow the juices to release.
- On a lightly floured surface, roll out the bottom crust to a 12-inch circle. Carefully transfer it to your 10-inch extra-deep pie pan. Gently press the dough into the bottom and up the sides, allowing a 1-inch overhang.
- Refrigerate the pie shell for 15 minutes.
- In a small bowl, whisk together 3 tablespoons of granulated sugar and 2 tablespoons of cornstarch. Add this mixture to the fruit along with 1/2 teaspoon of ground nutmeg, 2 tablespoons of fresh lemon juice, and 1 tablespoon of lemon zest. Stir gently to combine.
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Roll out the top crust to a 12-inch circle.
- Pour the fruit filling into the chilled pie shell. Evenly distribute the fruit and dot the top with 4 tablespoons of cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces.
- Lightly moisten the rim of the bottom crust with water.
- Carefully place the top crust over the filling. Center it and gently press the edges to seal, crimping and fluted the edges as desired. Trim any excess dough.
- Cut several steam vents in the top crust using a knife or fork. Make a couple of vents near the edge to monitor the juices.
- Brush the top crust lightly with milk and sprinkle with 1 tablespoon of granulated sugar.
- Place the pie on a baking sheet (to catch any spills) and bake for 30 minutes at 400°F (200°C).
- Reduce the oven temperature to 375°F (190°C), rotate the pie 180 degrees, and continue baking for 35-45 minutes, or until the juices bubble thickly and the crust is golden brown. If the crust browns too quickly, loosely tent with foil.
- Remove from oven and let cool completely on a wire rack for at least 2 hours before serving. Enjoy!
