Ingredients Method

What goes in the bowl

• 6 Peaches peeled, sliced
• 115 g Sugar
• 20 g Butter cubed
• 1 T Tapioca Flour Bob's Red Mill preferred
• 20 g Lemon juice approximately the juice of 1 small lemon
• 1 cup Blackberries
• 2 Pie crusts Try My All-Butter Crust or Foolproof Vodka Crust

How the cooking goes

1. Warm the oven to 350°F convection or regular.
2. Roll out your crusts to 1/8th inch. Put in the refrigerator to chill.
3. In a bowl combine all ingredients. If you are using tapioca pearls instead of tapioca flour, pulse in a spice grinder until they are finely ground. Allow the filling to sit for at least 30 minutes to hydrate the pearls. Tapioca flour doesn’t need to hydrate.
4. For a thicker filling precook everything until thickened and then cool until it is no longer warm before proceeding to the next step.
5. Line your pie tin with the one of the pieces of pastry. If it is cold, let it sit at ambient temperature for a few moments before forcing it into the dish. No cracks!
6. Set the filling in the bottom pastry and top with the top pastry. Make a lattice if you wish or cut a few vents and call it a day!
7. Brush the top crust with heavy cream and sprinkle with turbinado sugar.
8. Oven-bake in preheated oven for 45-60 minutes. Pies will take longer baking in a ceramic dish than a metal tin. the pie baked almost 75 minutes! It is crucial that the filling boils in the center and the crust is a dark deep gold.
9. Allow to cool until it is no longer warm at ambient temperature for maximum thickening. No judgement though if you want to pile it high with ice cream and just dig in!

After it comes off the heat

Let the pan settle before you slice, so the crumb stays together. Cover leftovers once they are cool.
