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
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- Add Toppings: Sprinkle the chopped pistachios evenly over the exposed fruit for added texture and flavor.
- 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.
- 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.
