Boy is this yummy & just in time for those beautifully-sweet summer peaches:

Peach-Blueberry Pie

1 package prepared pie crusts

2 lbs. peaches, pitted & sliced

1 pint blueberries

¼ cup sugar (or fake sweetener)

½ lemon, juiced

1 ½ t. cornstarch

2 T. butter, cut into bits

1 egg, beaten with dash of water

Preheat oven to 400’. Move the oven rack to bottom 1/3rd of oven.

Toss the fruit with the sugar, lemon, and cornstarch. Line a pie dish with the 1st prepared pie crust & pour in the fruit. Dot the fruit with the butter. Cover the fruit with the 2nd crust & make 3 (2 inch) vents in the top & brush with the egg glaze.

Put the pie on a baking sheet & bake until the crust is golden brown, 50 – 60 minutes. Cool & serve with Vanilla ice cream.

This is one of the things that make life so grand. Enjoy…..me.
