Instructions
Prepare and Macerate Fruits
Wash peaches in cold water. Remove pits and cut into ⅓" slices.
3 Pounds Fresh Peaches
Pour lemon juice over peaches and toss gently.
1 Tablespoon Lemon Juice
Sprinkle granulated sugar over peaches and toss gently.
¼ Cup Granulated Sugar
Add raspberries to the peaches and toss gently.
1 Pint Fresh Raspberries
Cover with a kitchen towel and set aside for 1 hour to allow fruits to slowly release juices.
Prepare Pie Filling:
Drain peaches and raspberries using a strainer placed over a bowl. Discard the juices.
Add brown sugar to the peaches/raspberries and toss until fruits are evenly coated.
¼ Cup Brown Sugar
Sprinkle cornstarch over the peaches/raspberries and toss gently.
3 Tablespoons Corn Starch
Assembling the pie
Lightly whip an egg and use a pastry brush to apply to the bottom crust. This will form an additional barrier to help prevent a soggy bottom crust. Reserve remaining egg wash for using on top crust.
1 Batch Flaky Dough, 1 Large Egg, lightly whipped
Pour the fruits into a pie pan lined with the dough of your choice (I prefer my flaky dough for this pie). Evenly distribute the filling using a spatula.
Place lattice strips over the fruits and seal the edges. If using a top crust, cut at least four 2" slits into the top crust to allow steam to escape while baking.
Using a pastry brush, apply egg wash to the top crust. Sprinkle with raw or granulated sugar.
1 Tablespoon Raw Sugar or Granulated Sugar
Place assembled pie in the refrigerator or freezer to allow the crust to relax. This step is optional - it helps reduce chances the crust will shrink or burn.
Baking the Pie
Preheat the oven to 350℉ (180℃) while the pie is resting in the refrigerator/freezer.
Once oven heats up, place pie on a sheet pan or pie drip catcher and bake for 35 - 40 minutes.
Check the pie occasionally. If the crust is turning too dark, place a pie shield over the outer crust or wrap loosely in foil.
Remove from oven, place on a cooling rack and allow to cool completely before serving (2 - 3 hours)
