When fruits like peaches and blueberries are in season, I love turning them into a delicious pie. This recipe for Peach Blueberry Pie fits the bill as it uses these fruits, along with ingredients like sugar and vanilla, to create a sweet and slightly tart filling. Also, instant tapioca pearls are incorporated into the filling so it thickens during the baking process. The fruity filling is encased in a flaky and buttery crust that preps easily thanks to pie crust mix. Once baked and cooled, this pie is yummy on its own or served alongside ice cream or whipped cream.

This pie recipe can be customized to accommodate any fruit you have on hand. Substitute stone fruits like peaches, plums or apricots for peaches; or use raspberries or blackberries in place of blueberries. Yum!
