Blackberry Peach Dreamy Creamy Pie Recipes

BLACKBERRY PEACH PIE

Steps:

• Prepare the Pie Dough (Morning Before Serving or Prepped the Day Before): Combine the all-purpose flour, sugar, and salt in the bowl of a stand mixer. Note: If you do not own a stand mixer, you can prepare the dough in a large food processor or by hand using a pastry cutter.
• Using the paddle attachment, mix the dry ingredients for 5 to 10 seconds over low speed. Over low speed, slowly add the cold cubed unsalted butter, a few pieces at a time, until the butter has broken into a mixture of larger and smaller size pieces (similar to 'broken walnut pieces'). Add the vinegar and slowly add the ice water (you will most likely need to use all of it or a touch more, but this will depend on humidity) until the dough just barely holds together. It will look relatively dry and shaggy in the bowl, but if the dough can hold together when squeezed with your palm, it is ready.
• Transfer the pie to a large gallon-size Ziplock bag (this helps lessen the warmth from your hands from transferring to the dough) and using the open ends and sides of the bag, press the dough together into a ball using the heels of your hand.
• Remove the pie dough from the bag and using a sharp knife, cut the dough into two equal-sized pieces. Flatten each piece into a round disc and wrap tightly in plastic wrap. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours or, ideally, overnight.
• Blanch the Peaches, Shape Pie Dough, and Preheat the Oven: Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C) with a rack in the center position. Line a half sheet pan with parchment paper or foil. Set aside.
• Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Set aside a large ice bath near the stove. Using a paring knife, make a small shallow 'X' incision onto the bottom of each peach and carefully drop into the boiling water. Allow the peaches to blanch for roughly a minute (depending on the ripeness of your peaches) or until the skins begin to slightly peel away from the flesh. Using a skimmer or large spoon, transfer the peaches to the ice bath (this will prevent them from cooking any further) until cool enough to handle. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate and set aside.
• Meanwhile, remove one disc of chilled pie dough from the fridge. Allow it to sit at room temperature for 5 to 10 minutes. On a well-floured countertop and using a lightly floured rolling pin, roll the dough until it roughly a 12-inch disc that is roughly ⅛-inch thick. Lift and transfer to a 9-inch pie pan (equipment note: I recommend heavy ceramic) pressing it into the edges of the pan without stretching the dough. Using a knife or kitchen scissors, trim any remaining dough overhang to just one inch. Brush off any excess flour with a pastry brush and place the pie pan in the freezer for 10 minutes or cover tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate for up to 30 minutes. Remove the remaining pie dough disc from the fridge, unwrap, and roll into a 12-inch diameter disc that is roughly ⅛-inch thick or less. Place the dough between two sheets of plastic wrap or parchment paper and chill in the fridge while you prepare the pie filling.
• Prepare the Pie Filling: Using a pairing knife, carefully peel the skin from the blanched peaches, remove the pits, and cut into ½-inch thick wedges. Transfer the peach wedges to a large mixing bowl and add the blackberries, brown sugar, granulated sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Toss gently to combine.
• Remove the pie pan from the freezer and add the peach blackberry filling. Remove the rolled top crust pie dough from the refrigerator and place over the fruit filling, tucking the overhang of the top crust over and then under the bottom crust overhang. Press and crimp the edges of the crust as desired.
• Using a sharp paring knife, cut several 2-inch slashes into the top crust. Set the assembled pie in the freezer to chill for 20 minutes (or alternatively, cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for up to 1 hour). This will allow the pie dough to relax, the butter to chill, and helps prevent shrinking during baking.
• Bake: Brush the top crust with heavy cream and sprinkle with sparkling sugar and set the pan on top of the lined sheet pan. Bake for 15 minutes. Reduce the oven temperature to 400°F (205°C) and bake for an additional 15 to 20 minutes or until the pie crust is lightly golden. Reduce the heat to 350°F (175°C) and continue to bake until deeply golden brown, an additional 25 to 35 minute. The filling should be lightly bubbling. Transfer the pie to a wire rack and allow to cool for at least 2 to 3 hours before slicing. Serve slightly warm or at room temperature with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.

BLACKBERRY PEACH DREAMY CREAMY PIE

Steps:

• 1. Preheat oven to 375. In a 9-inch pie plate, place one of the unrolled pie crusts. (They need to soften a bit at room temperature to make it easy to work with them. Instructions are on package.) I didn't have these crusts available from my small town grocer, so I purchased two ready-made deep dish pie crusts and used one of these as the bottom and one as the top crust.
• 2. Mix together the softened neufchatel cheese, sugar, egg, and vanilla until creamy. Pour into the unbaked pie crust.
• 3. In a medium sized bowl, place 1 1/2 cup of blackberries and 1 1/2 cup of peeled and sliced peaches. In a small bowl, mix the sugar and corn starch, and then pour this into the bowl of fruit and mix gently. Add the vanilla and pinch of cinnamon and mix gently.
• 4. Spoon this mixture over the top of the cream cheese filling in the pie plate.
• 5. Place top crust on. Press edges together to seal the top crust and bottom together. Cut off excess. (My mother would place remaining strips in a pan and salt lightly before baking them to make crackers.)
• 6. Spread out the melted butter on top of the pie crust and dust with the cinnamon and nutmeg mixed together.
• 7. Bake for 35 minutes. Crust will be golden brown. If you want a truly decadent dessert, serve with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream, but the neufchatel cream cheese makes it decadent-tasting already while keeping the fat content at a minimum.

PEACH-BLACKBERRY PIE

Steps:

• Combine the flour, sugar, salt in the bowl of a food processor and pulse a few times to combine.
• Scatter the butter and shortening over the top of the flour mixture and pulse until the mixture resembles coarse meal. Add the water a few tablespoons at a time and pulse until the dough just comes together. Remove the dough from the machine and lightly knead on a flat surface until it just comes together. Form into a disk, wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
• Combine peaches, sugars, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, peach eau de vie and cornstarch or tapioca in a large bowl and mix until well combined. Toss the blackberries with the cassis. Let sit for 10 minutes, then use a slotted spoon to spoon the berries into the peaches, and toss.
• Divide the dough in half and roll each half out on a lightly floured surface to 13 to 14- inch round. Transfer 1 of the rounds into the bottom of a 9-inch deep-dish pie plate. Spoon the fruit into the crust using a slotted spoon. Add some of the juices that have accumulated in the bowl. Scatter the butter over the top. Roll up remaining dough on rolling pin and unroll atop peach mixture. Trim edges of both crusts to 3/4-inch overhang. Fold edges over; press to seal. Crimp edges. Cut 6 slits in top crust to allow steam to escape. Brush top of the pie with the cream and sprinkle with the turbinado sugar. Place the pie on a baking sheet and bake on the bottom rack of the oven until the crust is golden and juices bubble thickly through slits, covering edges of crust with foil if browning too quickly, about 1 hour 20 to 30 minutes, until the bottom crust is brown and the juices bubbling. Cool pie 3 hours.

BLACKBERRY PEACH PIE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C).
• Mix the blackberries, peaches, cornstarch, and sugar in a large bowl.
• Press one of the pie crusts into the bottom of a 9-inch pie pan. Pour the blackberry mixture into the pie crust. Cover with the remaining pie crust. Crimp the edges of the two crusts together to seal. Cut slits in the top of the pie to vent. Brush the top with the melted butter. Sprinkle the cinnamon and nutmeg over the top.
• Bake in preheated oven for 15 minutes. Reduce the oven temperature to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) and continue to cook until top crust is golden brown, 35 to 40 minutes.

PEACH-BERRY SOUR CREAM PIE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350˚ F. Whisk the sour cream with the heavy cream, eggs, sugar, lemon juice, vanilla and salt in a bowl, then whisk in the flour.
• Spread the peaches and berries in the graham cracker crust and pour in the sour cream mixture.
• Bake until set but the center still jiggles slightly, 40 to 50 minutes. Let cool.

PEACHES 'N CREAM PIE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Drain peaches and reserve the syrup; set aside.
• Combine flour, pudding mix, margarine, egg, and milk; beat well. Pour into a greased 8 or 9 inch pie pan. Arrange drained peaches on top of mixture, just to edges.
• Cream together softened cream cheese, sugar, and 3 tablespoons reserved peach syrup. Spoon mixture carefully on top of peaches, just to edges. Sprinkle sugar and cinnamon on top.
• Bake at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for 30 to 35 minutes. Do not over bake.

PEACHES AND CREAM PIE

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 350 degrees. In a medium bowl, whisk together the graham cracker crumbs, granulated sugar, cinnamon and salt. Add the butter and toss until the crumbs are evenly moistened. Transfer the mixture to a 9-inch pie plate and press into an even layer on the bottom and up the sides of the pie plate, packing the crust lightly with the bottom of a measuring cup. Place the pie plate on a sheet pan and bake for 10 to 12 minutes, until set, then cool completely.
• In a large mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese and confectioners' sugar. Using an electric mixer, beat on low speed until combined, then raise the speed to high and whip until the mixture is smooth and creamy. Add the heavy cream and vanilla, and beat on high speed until the mixture forms stiff peaks. Scrape the filling into the cooled crust, smooth the top, and chill for at least 2 hours, or overnight, until set. (Cover with plastic wrap if chilling the pie overnight.)
• Meanwhile, bring a large pot of water to a boil and fill a large bowl with ice water. Immerse the peaches, a few at a time, in the boiling water for 30 seconds to 1 minute, depending on the ripeness of the peaches, until their skins peel off easily with a paring knife. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the peaches to the ice bath to stop the cooking. Peel the peaches, and cut into slices, placing the slices in a colander set over a bowl to drain any excess juices.
• Just before you plan to serve the pie, spoon the peaches onto the filling, covering the entire surface of the pie. Serve immediately or refrigerate for up to 1 hour before serving.
