Time 1h15m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 cup flour
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 cup sugar, plus
1 tablespoon sugar
3 tablespoons cold butter or 3 tablespoons margarine, cut into 1/2 inch pieces
1/2 cup heavy cream or 1/2 cup whipping cream, plus
1 tablespoon heavy cream or 1 tablespoon whipping cream
1/8 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 cup sugar
1/4 cup cold water
2 tablespoons cornstarch
2 lbs ripe peaches (about 5 medium)
3 cups assorted berries (1 cup each blueberries, blackberries and raspberries)

Steps:

  • Prepare crust: In medium bowl, combine flour, baking powder and 1/4 cup sugar.
  • With pastry blender or 2 knives used scissors fashion, cut in butter until mixture resembles fine crumbs.
  • Add 1/2 cup cream and stir with fork until dough comes together. Gather dough into a ball and place on lightly floured sheet of waxed paper. With floured rolling pin, roll dough to a 9-inch round.
  • Slide waxed paper onto cookie sheet and refrigerate dough until ready to use.
  • In cup, mix cinnamon and remaining sugar.
  • Prepare fruit filling: Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Place cookie sheet lined with foil in oven. In 4-quart saucepan, stir sugar, water and cornstarch until cornstarch dissolves; stir in peaches.
  • Heat to boiling over medium-high heat, stirring often. Reduce heat to low; simmer 2 minutes, stirring often. Remove from heat; gently stir in berries. Pour filling into 9-inch deep dish pie plate.
  • Immediately, while filling is hot, remove dough round from refrigerator and, using waxed paper, invert dough over fruit mixture. Peef off paper. Cut 4-inch X in center of round, fold back points to make square opening.
  • Brush dough with remaining cream; sprinkle with cinnamon sugar.
  • Bake pie on foil-lined cookie sheet 35-40 minutes or until fruit is bubbly in center. If crust is browning too quickly, loosely cover pie with foil after 25 minutes. Cool pie on wire rack.
