Peach and Blueberry Pie

I can't think of a better way to celebrate a sunny Saturday than with a delicious pie!



First stop? The orchard of course to pick up the necessities.







After tedious inspection and selection (not! everything here is great!) and some time with my favorite orchard employees the baking began!


Tip! To keep your outer crust from burning when baking, wrap it loosely in tin foil for about 2/3 of the baking time! Remove it for the rest of the baking and you will have a golden brown crust!


And voila! Peach and blueberry pie with crumb topping!



No I didn't make my own crust, when you're craving pie you just have to cut to the chase! Look for a homemade pie crust to be featured soon!
