Ingredients
For the Pastry Crust:
- 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup chopped roasted almonds
- 1/3 cup oil
- 3-4 tablespoons water
For the Gelatin Glaze:
- 1 cup sugar
- 3 tablespoons cornstarch
- 1 cup water
- 1/4 cup lemon-flavored gelatin mix
For the Fruit Filling:
- 5 large ripe peaches about 4 cups sliced
- 1 cup fresh blueberries
Instructions
Prepare the Pastry Crust:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a medium bowl, combine the flour, sugar, salt, and chopped roasted almonds. Stir in the oil and water until just moistened. Press the mixture into a 9-inch pie dish.
- Bake the crust for 20 minutes, then set it aside to cool.
Make the Gelatin Glaze:
- In a medium saucepan, combine the sugar, cornstarch, and water. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens and comes to a boil. Continue to cook for 1 minute, then remove from heat.
- Stir in the lemon-flavored gelatin mix until completely dissolved. Set the glaze aside to cool slightly.
Prepare the Fruit Filling:
- Submerge the peaches in a pot of boiling water for about 1 minute, then transfer them with a slotted spoon into ice water. The skins will slip off easily. Slice the peaches and place them in a large bowl.
- Add the fresh blueberries and gently fold in the cooled gelatin glaze.
Assemble the Pie:
- Spoon the fruit filling into the prepared crust, spreading it evenly.
- Cover the pie and chill it in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, or overnight for best results.
Serve:
- Serve the pie well-chilled with a generous dollop of fresh whipped cream or your favorite whipped topping.
