GRANDMA'S FRESH BLUEBERRY PEACH PIE

Steps:

• Heat oven to 400 degrees.
• Peel and slice the peaches. Place in a large bowl. Add blueberries. Sprinkle with sugar and flour. Mix well and set aside.
• Prepare the pie crust:.
• Sift the flour into a large bowl. Add butter and mix with a fork or pastry blender until the mixture resembles small peas. Make a well in the center and add the ice water. Mix together being careful not to over work the dough so that it does not become tough. Shape into a ball and refrigerate for 20 minutes.
• Divide dough in half. On a lightly floured board, roll out one half into a 15″ circle. Carefully fold in half and place into a 9″ or 10″ pie plate. Press evenly onto bottom and sides of pie plate.
• Evenly spoon the fruit mixture into the pie plate.
• Roll out second half of dough and place on top of fruit. Pinch and crimp edges together. Make slits in top of dough.
• In a small bowl, beat egg and brush over the top of the pie.
• Bake at 400 degrees for 12 minutes. Lower temperature to 350 degrees and bake for 30 to 35 minutes.

GRANDMA'S BLACKBERRY PIE

Steps:

• Beat the egg and vinegar together in a small bowl, and set aside. Whisk together the flour, 2 tablespoons sugar, and salt in a mixing bowl. Cut in the cold butter with a knife or pastry blender until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. (This can also be done in a food processor: pulse the cold butter or shortening until it's the size of small peas. Turn mixture into a bowl and proceed.) Stir in the egg and vinegar mixture. Add the ice water a tablespoon at a time, tossing with a fork, until the flour mixture is moistened. Do not add more water than you need: when you squeeze a handful of the moistened pastry mixture, it should form a ball. Divide the dough in half and shape into balls. Wrap in plastic and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or up to three days.
• Preheat an oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
• Roll one ball out to fit a 9 inch pie plate. Place bottom crust in pie plate and chill for at least 20 minutes before baking. Roll out top crust and set aside. Arrange the apple slices on the bottom of the pie crust, then scatter the blackberries on top. Sprinkle with 1/2 cup sugar. Place the second pie crust on top of the fruit mixture, and pinch the top and bottom crusts together. Lightly sprinkle the top crust with water, followed by the remaining 1 tablespoon of sugar. Poke several holes in the top of the crust with a fork to allow steam to escape during baking.
• Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, 40 to 45 minutes.

• For the streusel topping, use a fork and a small bowl to blend the sugar, flour, salt, cinnamon and butter until crumbly. Set aside.
• For the cake, sift together flour, baking powder and salt into a medium bowl.
• In a large bowl, cream the butter and sugar. Add the egg, milk and vanilla and beat until smooth. Mix in the dry ingredients, then fold in the blueberries.
