Peach Blueberry Pie is the perfect late summer dessert. Buttery crust filled with fresh blueberries and peaches served late afternoon on a warm day. Trying not to be to cliche, but come on you have to admit homemade pie is what summer fruit is for. I have a known addiction for anything peach. If you look through my recipes its a reoccurring ingredient. Especially when it comes to desserts, peach is hands down my favorite, even above chocolate. Craziness, I know!
But, for this pie recipe I decided to add fresh blueberries for another layer of flavor and color contrast. Did you know that blue and orange are complimentary colors? Meaning when paired together they natural contrast and balance each other. So not only are they aesthetically pleasing, the taste of peach with blueberries is wonderfully delicious. Add in a little cinnamon, nutmeg, some vanilla and we have a delightful summer pie.
