Peach blueberry pie: impossible, shockingly easy one-pan summer dessert

Ripe peaches and tangy blueberries meet a silky vanilla custard inside a buttery, scratch-made crust in this Impossible Peach Blueberry Pie. Bright, seasonal fruit and a custard that sets as it bakes make this dessert feel both rustic and elegant. Read on for ingredients, techniques, and tips to bake a summer pie that cuts clean and pleases a crowd.

Why this Peach Blueberry Pie shines in summer

This pie blends two summer stars: peaches and blueberries. The custard soaks around the fruit and bakes into a texture similar to a clafoutis. The result is fruity, creamy, and refreshing.

• Seasonal flavor: Fresh peaches add sweetness and aroma.
• Balanced acidity: Blueberries give a bright contrast.
• Simple technique: The filling is a thin custard poured over arranged fruit.

Ingredients for one 10-inch pie — pantry-friendly and fresh

Below are the quantities to make a single pie. Adjust proportions for more pies.

For the crust

• 1 1/3 cups all-purpose flour
• ¼ teaspoon salt
• 2 teaspoons sugar
• ½ cup cold unsalted butter, cubed

For the filling

• 3–4 medium peaches, halved and thinly sliced
• 1 ¼ cups fresh blueberries
• 3 eggs
• ¾ cup plus 2 tablespoons whole milk
• ½ cup all-purpose flour
• ½ cup sugar
• 2.5 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted and cooled
• 1½ teaspoons vanilla extract
• 2 tablespoons sanding sugar (optional)

To serve

• Whipped cream or vanilla ice cream

Make a flaky homemade crust

A cold, minimal-handle dough gives the best flake. Use a food processor if you have one.

1. Combine flour, sugar, and salt in a bowl or food processor.
2. Add chilled butter cubes and pulse until the mixture looks like coarse crumbs.
3. Add 2 tablespoons iced water and pulse. Add up to 2 more tablespoons if the dough won’t hold when squeezed.
4. Gather the dough into a disc without overworking it. Wrap and chill for at least 1 hour.
5. On a floured surface, roll the dough into a 12–13 inch circle. Fit into a 10-inch pie dish and crimp the edges. Keep chilled while you prepare filling.

Tip: If you lack a food processor, a pastry cutter or two forks work fine.

Prepare the vanilla custard and assemble the pie

The filling is a thin custard that cooks around the fruit. Arrange fruit neatly for clean slices.

1. Whisk together eggs, milk, flour, sugar, melted butter, and vanilla until smooth. The batter will be runny.
2. Halve the peaches, remove stones, and slice each half thinly. Keep peach halves intact for an attractive arrangement.
3. Place one peach half in the center of the crust. Arrange remaining halves in a circle, overlapping slightly.
4. Pour half of the custard into the crust, filling the gaps around the peaches.
5. Scatter half of the blueberries over the custard and peaches. Pour the remaining custard gently.
6. Top with remaining blueberries and sprinkle sanding sugar across the surface if desired.

Important: Pour the batter slowly to avoid displacing the fruit.

Baking instructions, timing, and texture cues

Oven temperature and timing steer the custard to a set but slightly wobbly finish.

• Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
• Bake 35–40 minutes until the center is mostly set but still jiggles slightly.
• The pie will firm up as it cools to room temperature.

Visual cue: Edges should be golden and the custard not liquid in the center.

Serving ideas and simple variations

Serve slightly warm or at room temperature. Add cream or ice cream for contrast.

• Top with whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
• Swap in nectarines if peaches are out of season.
• Add a teaspoon of lemon zest to the batter for extra brightness.
