blackberry peach dreamy creamy pie
(2 ratings)
My blackberry vines aren't producing much right now, so I have picked and saved blackberries each day. Finally, I had nearly two cups, but there are no real recipes out there for pies with two cups of blackberries. Then, I remembered that we went to Fredericksburg, Texas yesterday and bought some of the famous peaches from there, so I decided to make a blackberry peach pie. Online, I saw cobblers and a pie, but the pie still took too many blackberries, so I added the cream cheese I just bought and BAM. This pie is AMAZING, a great example of what we can do with what we already have on hand.

How To Make blackberry peach dreamy creamy pie
-
1Preheat oven to 375. In a 9-inch pie plate, place one of the unrolled pie crusts. (They need to soften a bit at room temperature to make it easy to work with them. Instructions are on package.) I didn't have these crusts available from my small town grocer, so I purchased two ready-made deep dish pie crusts and used one of these as the bottom and one as the top crust.
-
2Mix together the softened neufchatel cheese, sugar, egg, and vanilla until creamy. Pour into the unbaked pie crust.
-
3In a medium sized bowl, place 1 1/2 cup of blackberries and 1 1/2 cup of peeled and sliced peaches. In a small bowl, mix the sugar and corn starch, and then pour this into the bowl of fruit and mix gently. Add the vanilla and pinch of cinnamon and mix gently.
-
4Spoon this mixture over the top of the cream cheese filling in the pie plate.
-
5Place top crust on. Press edges together to seal the top crust and bottom together. Cut off excess. (My mother would place remaining strips in a pan and salt lightly before baking them to make crackers.)
-
6Spread out the melted butter on top of the pie crust and dust with the cinnamon and nutmeg mixed together.
-
7Bake for 35 minutes. Crust will be golden brown. If you want a truly decadent dessert, serve with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream, but the neufchatel cream cheese makes it decadent-tasting already while keeping the fat content at a minimum.
