PEACH AND BLUEBERRY CRUMB PIE

Steps:

• Place an oven rack in the center of the oven and preheat to 375 degrees F. Butter a 9-inch ceramic or glass pie dish.
• For the filling: Finely grind the tapioca in a food processor or spice grinder, about 1 minute. Combine the blueberries, peaches, sugar, lemon juice, vanilla, cinnamon, lemon zest and tapioca in a medium bowl.
• Unroll the pie crust and place in the pie dish. Brush the inside with the egg white.
• For the topping: Pulse the almonds, butter, oats, flour and sugar until small chunks form in a food processor.
• Pour the filling into the crust. Crumble the topping over the filling and bake until the top is golden brown, about 55 minutes. If after 30 minutes of baking the edges of the crust begin to brown too quickly, cover the edges of the pie dish with strips of foil. Cool the pie for 30 to 40 minutes before slicing.

• Scatter the butter over the top and pulse again until the mixture resembles fine crumbs.
• Sprinkle the milk over the mixture and pulse again briefly.
• Transfer the topping to a bowl and rub it between your fingers to make damp, gravelly crumbs; refrigerate until ready to use.
• Remove the pie from the oven and decrease temperature to 375°; carefully dump the crumbs in the center of the pie; spreading them evenly over the surface with your hands.
• Tamp them down lightly; return pie to oven, placing it so that the part that faced the back of the oven now faces forward.
• Slide a large foil-lined baking sheet onto the rack below to catch any drips.
• Continue to bake 30-40 minutes until the juices bubble thickly around the edge.
• If necessary, cover the pie with loosely tented foil for the last 15 minutes to keep the top from getting too brown.

BLUEBERRY PEACH CRUMB PIE

Steps:

• For the dough: In a large bowl, mix the flour, granulated sugar and salt. Using a pastry blender or your fingers, cut in the cold butter until pea-size.
• In a separate bowl, beat the eggs with a fork until fluffy and pale yellow. Using a fork, mix the eggs into the flour mixture until the dough just comes together. Finish combining the dough with your hands to form a ball, being careful to avoid over-working the dough.
• Cut the ball in half, forming two smaller balls of dough. Gently press down on each to form two equal disks. Wrap each disk in plastic wrap and place in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours or up to overnight.
• For the filling: In a bowl, add the peaches, blueberries, brown sugar, flour, lemon juice and zest. Gently mix and set aside for 5 minutes.
• For the topping: In a bowl, add the oats, brown sugar, butter, flour and cinnamon, and mix with your fingers, pinching the butter to create pea-size pieces.
• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
• Lightly dust a clean surface with flour. Spray a 10-inch pie pan with nonstick cooking spray. Roll out the dough to about 12 inches in diameter, then place in the pan. Pour the filling over the dough and sprinkle the crumb topping over the top. Bake for 40 to 45 minutes. Cool on a wire rack before serving.
