Ingredients and substitutions for the best Blueberry Peach Pie
- Plain flour: This is the best option for that flaky pastry, cake flour is not recommended here and if you live in the UK, see the FAQ's section as to a the type of flour to use here.
- Butter: Cold and cubed helps you press it into your flour without heating it up too much as you work it. Make sure that butter is fully coated with flour so no puddles form during baking. Unsalted was used here as this is fresher than salted, however, you could absolutely substitute salted butter here.
- Ice water: Ice water helps the water not soak into the flour too much which helps the gluten form in the dough whilst giving you that flaky texture!
- Sugar: Superfine or caster sugar is best here thanks to it's fine texture that will help draw out the moisture in our produce whilst also dissolving perfectly.
- Oats: Simple rolled oats are used, no quick oats or steel oats which might result in a different texture within the streusel.
- Blueberries: Fresh or frozen blueberries that have been slightly defrosted in lukewarm water will both work.
- Peaches: Fresh peaches are used here that still have some firmness, however, you could most definitely substitute with frozen or canned peaches, but would recommend using less sugar. If you want to use other stone fruit here, plums and apricots would work well alongside the peaches.
