Cuisine: American
Serves: 8 servings
Ingredients
- 1 pre-made pie crust
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 3 large eggs
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup blackberries
- 1 cup sliced peaches
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Allow the pre-made pie crust to sit at room temperature for 10 minutes to become more pliable.
- Gently press the pie crust into a 9-inch pie dish, crimping the edges decoratively. Trim any excess dough hanging over the edges.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, all-purpose flour, and a pinch of salt until well combined.
- Add the eggs one at a time, whisking thoroughly after each addition to create a smooth mixture.
- Pour in the buttermilk and vanilla extract, continuing to whisk until the filling is completely smooth and free of lumps.
- Arrange the sliced peaches in an even layer across the bottom of the pie crust.
- Scatter the fresh blackberries evenly over the peaches.
- Carefully pour the buttermilk custard mixture over the fruit, ensuring the fruit remains distributed throughout the pie.
- Place the pie on a baking sheet to catch any potential overflow and transfer to the preheated oven.
- Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the center is set but still slightly jiggly and the top is golden brown.
- Remove from the oven and let cool completely on a wire rack for at least 2 hours. The pie will continue to set as it cools.
- Serve at room temperature or slightly chilled. Optional: dust with powdered sugar or top with whipped cream before serving.
Tips
- Use room temperature ingredients to ensure a smooth, lump-free custard filling.
- Let the pie crust sit at room temperature for 10 minutes before pressing into the dish to prevent cracking.
- For a more vibrant presentation, use ripe but firm fruits that hold their shape during baking.
- Place a baking sheet under your pie to catch any potential overflow and protect your oven.
- Allow the pie to cool completely to help the custard set properly - patience is key!
- For an extra touch of elegance, consider garnishing with fresh mint leaves or a light dusting of powdered sugar.
- If the pie crust edges brown too quickly, cover them with aluminum foil during baking.
- Store leftovers in the refrigerator and consume within 2-3 days for the best flavor and texture.
