BLACKBERRY PEACH DREAMY CREAMY PIE

Steps:

• 1. Preheat 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.
• 2. Mix together the softened neufchatel cheese, sugar, egg, and vanilla until creamy. Pour into the unbaked pie crust.
• 3. In 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.
• 4. Spoon this mixture over the top of the cream cheese filling in the pie plate.
• 5. Place 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.)
• 6. Spread out the melted butter on top of the pie crust and dust with the cinnamon and nutmeg mixed together.
• 7. Bake 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.

PEACH-BLACKBERRY PIE

Steps:

• Make the crust: Combine the flour, granulated sugar and salt in a food processor and pulse a few times. Scatter the butter and shortening over the flour mixture and pulse until it resembles coarse meal. Gradually add 4 to 7 tablespoons ice water, pulsing until the dough just comes together. Remove the dough from the machine and lightly knead on a flat surface to form a disk. Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate at least 1 hour. Position a rack in the bottom of the oven and preheat to 375 degrees F.
• Make the filling: Combine the peaches, brown and granulated sugars, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, peach eau de vie and cornstarch or tapioca in a large bowl and mix until well combined. Toss the blackberries with the cassis in a separate bowl. Let sit 10 minutes, then use a slotted spoon to spoon the berries into the peach mixture and toss. Divide the chilled dough in half and roll out each half into a 13-to-14-inch round on a lightly floured surface. Transfer one of the rounds to a 9-inch deep-dish pie plate. Spoon the fruit into the crust using a slotted spoon; add some of the juices that have accumulated in the bowl (about 1/4 cup). Scatter the butter over the top. Roll up the remaining dough round on the rolling pin, then unroll it on top of the filling. Trim the edges of both crusts to a 3/4-inch overhang. Fold the edges over; press to seal and crimp the edges. Cut 6 slits in the top crust to allow steam to escape. Brush the top of the pie with the cream and sprinkle with the turbinado sugar. Place the pie on a baking sheet and bake on the bottom oven rack until the crust is golden and the juices bubble thickly through the slits, 1 hour, 20 minutes to 1 hour, 30 minutes. (Cover the crust's edge with foil if it browns too quickly.) Let the pie cool about 3 hours before serving. Photograph by Steve Giralt
