For a richer flavor, consider using a homemade pie crust. If the crust begins to brown too quickly during baking, tent it loosely with aluminum foil. Allow the pie to cool completely before slicing to ensure the filling has fully set.
Capture the essence of summer with this vibrant pie, bursting with the flavors of ripe peaches and a medley of fresh berries. A delightful combination of sweet and tart, encased in a golden, flaky crust.
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). (5 minutes)
Prepare the Pie Shell: Line a 9-inch pie plate with one pastry crust. Brush the bottom crust lightly with half of the beaten egg white to help prevent sogginess. Set aside. (10 minutes)
Combine Fruit and Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, gently combine the sliced peaches, strawberries, blueberries, and raspberries. In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the brown sugar, granulated sugar, flour, cornstarch, cinnamon, and nutmeg until well combined. Gently fold the sugar mixture into the fruit, being careful not to crush the berries. (15 minutes)
Assemble the Pie: Transfer the fruit mixture into the prepared pie plate. The filling will be generously piled. Dot the top of the filling with the cold butter pieces. (5 minutes)
Top and Glaze: Cover the pie with the remaining pastry crust. You can create a lattice crust or use a full crust, making sure to cut decorative slits or vents to allow steam to escape. Brush the top crust with the remaining beaten egg white. (10 minutes)
Create the Cinnamon-Sugar Topping: In a small bowl, mix together the 1 tablespoon of granulated sugar and 1 teaspoon of cinnamon. Sprinkle this mixture evenly over the top of the pie. (5 minutes)
Bake: Place the pie on a baking sheet (to catch any drips) and bake in the preheated oven until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly, about 45 to 60 minutes. (60 minutes)
Cool: Turn off the oven and let the pie sit inside for 30 minutes with the door slightly ajar. This helps the filling to set. Transfer the pie to a wire rack to cool completely. The filling will continue to thicken as it cools. (30 minutes)
