Instructions
Pie Crust:
- In a bowl, whisk together flour, sugar and salt.
- Add butter and shortening then mix with a pastry blender or your hands.
- Once the dough is flaky, add water. Work the dough until soft and pliable.
- Wrap in clingfilm and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. and line a shallow 15" baking sheet with parchment paper.
- On a well floured surface, roll out the dough to fit the baking pan.
- Fold the sides of the dough over to create a border for the pie, then using a paring knife, gently pierce the edges of the crust without cutting all the way through it.
- Brush the crust with the egg wash and then blind bake it for about 8-10 minutes. Set aside to cool while preparing the filling.
Filling:
- In a large bowl, gently toss the peach slices with brown sugar, vanilla and rum. Let sit for a few minutes to soak up flavors.
- Place the slices in the center of the prepared dough. Sprinkle some blueberries over the top if desired.
- Brush the sides of the crust with beaten egg again and then sprinkle with raw sugar.
- To keep the peach juices from bleeding over the crust while it bakes, sift about 2 tablespoons of flour over the entire pie.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes until it starts to turn golden.
- In the meantime, prepare the crumb topping by combining all the ingredients in a small bowl. Blend until you have a fine crumb mixture.
- Sprinkle the crumb topping over the pie and return to the over for an additional 8-10 minutes.
- Once the pie is ready, let it rest on a cooling rack until it has set.
- Serve with whipped cream and enjoy!
