Peach Blueberry Crostata Recipe

Introduction

This Peach Blueberry Crostata is a rustic, fruit-filled dessert that’s easy to make and perfect for showcasing summer flavors. With a flaky pie crust, juicy peaches, sweet blueberries, and a drizzle of honey, it’s a delightful treat for any occasion.

Ingredients

• Pie dough (enough for a single 9-10 inch crostata)
• 3 ripe peaches, sliced
• 1 cup fresh blueberries
• 2 tablespoons honey
• ¼ cup chopped pistachios

Instructions

1. Step 1: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Roll out the pie dough on a floured surface into a roughly 12-inch circle.
2. Step 2: Arrange the sliced peaches and blueberries in the center of the dough, leaving a 2-inch border around the edges.
3. Step 3: Drizzle the honey evenly over the fruit, then sprinkle the chopped pistachios on top.
4. Step 4: Fold the edges of the dough over the fruit, pressing gently to seal but leaving the center exposed.
5. Step 5: Place the crostata on a baking sheet and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the fruit is bubbly.
6. Step 6: Let cool slightly before serving to allow the filling to set.

Tips & Variations

• Use frozen blueberries if fresh are not in season, but thaw and drain them well to avoid excess liquid.
• For extra flavor, sprinkle a little cinnamon or lemon zest over the fruit before folding the dough.
• Swap pistachios with almonds or walnuts for a different crunch.
• If you prefer a sweeter crostata, brush the dough edges with an egg wash and sprinkle with sugar before baking.

Storage

Store any leftover crostata covered at room temperature for up to 2 days, or refrigerate for up to 4 days. Reheat briefly in a warm oven to restore the flakiness of the crust.

How to Serve

Serve this delicious recipe with your favorite sides.

FAQs

Can I make the crostata dough from scratch?

Absolutely! Homemade pie dough with butter will yield the best flaky crust, but store-bought dough works well for convenience.

What can I substitute if I don’t have pistachios?

You can use other nuts like almonds, walnuts, or pecans, or omit nuts altogether if preferred.

Ingredients

Scale 1x2x3x

Pie Dough

• 1 pie dough sheet (homemade or store-bought, about 9–10 inches diameter)

Fruit Filling

• 2 cups peaches, peeled and sliced
• 1 cup fresh blueberries
• 2 tablespoons honey

Topping

• 1/4 cup shelled pistachios, chopped

Instructions

1. Prepare the Oven and Dough: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Roll out the pie dough on a parchment-lined baking sheet to about 10 inches diameter if not already prepared.
2. Assemble the Filling: In a bowl, gently toss the sliced peaches and blueberries with the honey until evenly coated. Spread the fruit mixture in the center of the dough, leaving about a 2-inch border around the edges.
3. Fold the Edges: Fold the border of the dough over the edges of the fruit, pleating it to form a circular enclosure, leaving the fruit exposed in the center.
4. Add Toppings: Sprinkle the chopped pistachios evenly over the exposed fruit for added texture and flavor.
5. Bake the Crostata: Place the assembled crostata into the oven and bake for 40-45 minutes, until the crust is golden brown and the fruit filling is bubbly and tender.
6. Cool and Serve: Remove from the oven and let cool on a wire rack for at least 15 minutes before slicing and serving.

Notes

• Use ripe but firm peaches for the best texture and sweetness.
• Honey can be substituted with maple syrup or granulated sugar based on preference.
• Chilling the dough before baking helps prevent shrinking during baking.
• Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra treat.
