Instructions
Prepare and Macerate Fruits
Wash peaches in cold water. Remove pits and slice into ⅓" slices.
Pour 1 tablespoon lemon juice over peaches and toss gently.
Sprinkle ¼ cup granulated sugar over peaches and toss gently.
Add 1 pint raspberries to the peaches and toss gently.
Cover 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.
Sprinkle cornstarch over the peaches/raspberries and toss gently.
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 egg wash for using on top pie crust.
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.
Place assembled pie in the refrigerator or freezer to allow the crust to relax.
Baking the Pie
Preheat the oven to 350° while the pie is resting in the refrigerator/freezer.
Place the pie on a cookie sheet 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)
