Birthday Cake? Nope, Birthday Pie Instead by Denise Stano

September 17, 2020 by Jill Foucre Leave a Comment

For most families, birthday celebrations typically involve presents and cake for the guest of honor.  It is difficult to comprehend that prior to March 2020 and our COVID-19 quarantine, we actually encouraged the birthday person to BLOW directly onto the cake to make a wish.  What were we thinking???

My family loves cake as much as the next, but when it comes to our private birthday celebrations, ours will most likely involve a birthday pie. We have tried them all…fruit, cream, frozen, graham cracker crust, cookie crust, etc.,  etc.  A favorite at the moment is a Peach Blueberry that I recently made for my son’s 31st birthday. It was full of flavorful Michigan peaches and Michigan blueberries and a streusel topping of brown sugar, pecans and butter. How can you go wrong with that ingredient list? And because of all the yummy juices, it needs to be eaten quickly … so be sure to go back for seconds!

Ingredients
  1. 3 cups fresh peaches peeled, pitted, and sliced
  2. 2 cups fresh blueberries
  3. 1 1/2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  4. 3 tablespoons cornstarch
  5. 3/4 cup sugar
  6. 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  7. 1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  8. 1 single pie crust
  9. 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  10. 1/4 cup sugar
  11. 1/4 cup brown sugar
  12. 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  13. 4 tablespoons cold butter
  14. 1/2 cup chopped pecans
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 375°F.
  2. Combine peaches and blueberries in a large bowl. Sprinkle with lemon juice and gently mix to combine. Combine cornstarch, sugar, cinnamon and nutmeg in a small bowl. Sprinkle cornstarch mixture over fruit and gently toss to coat.
  3. Place crust in 9” pie pan. Crimp edges if desired.
  4. Pour fruit into pie crust - I use a slotted spoon to minimize juice
Streusel Topping
  1. Combine flour, sugars, and cinnamon in a medium bowl. Cut in butter. Stir in pecans. Sprinkle topping over fruit filling. Loosely cover pie edges with foil and place on a cookie sheet so you don't mess up your oven.
  2. Bake for 1 hour or until nice and bubbly. Remove the foil about 10-15 minutes before pie is finished baking. Let cool slightly before serving.
