Farm-stand berries are folded into a cinnamon-laced filling that's obscured not with waves of whipped cream but with glistening glazed peaches.

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 cup sugar
3 tablespoons plus 2 teaspoons cornstarch
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 3/4 cups whole milk
4 large egg yolks
1/8 teaspoon ground cinnamon
2 ounces (4 tablespoons) unsalted butter, softened
2 1/2 ounces (1/2 cup) blueberries
2 1/2 ounces (1/2 cup) raspberries
2 1/2 ounces (1/2 cup) blackberries
Graham Cracker Crust
1 cup Peaches in Syrup

Steps:

  • Whisk sugar, cornstarch, and salt in a medium saucepan; whisk in milk. Cook over medium-high heat, stirring constantly, until bubbling and thick, about 7 minutes total (about 2 minutes after it comes to a boil).
  • Whisk yolks in a medium bowl until combined. Pour in milk mixture in a slow, steady stream, whisking until completely incorporated. Return mixture to the saucepan, and cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until it returns to a boil, 1 to 2 minutes.
  • Immediately remove from heat, and stir in cinnamon. Add butter, 1 tablespoon at a time, whisking until butter melts before adding another piece. Let custard cool in saucepan on a wire rack, whisking occasionally, for about 10 minutes. Gently fold in berries until evenly distributed.
  • Pour custard into graham cracker crust. Press plastic wrap directly on surface of custard. Refrigerate until custard filling is chilled and firm, at least 4 hours (or overnight).
  • Spoon peaches with syrup onto center of pie, and serve immediately.
