Peach Blueberry Crostata Recipe

4.7 from 82 reviews

A rustic and delicious Peach Blueberry Crostata featuring sweet peaches and plump blueberries encased in a flaky pie dough, drizzled with honey and topped with crunchy pistachios for added texture and flavor.

Ingredients

Scale

Pie Dough

  • 1 batch of pie dough (about 1 1/4 cups flour, 1/2 cup butter, 23 tbsp ice water, pinch of salt)

Fruit Filling

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

Topping

  • 1/4 cup shelled pistachios, chopped

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Pie Dough: Roll out the pie dough on a lightly floured surface into a rough 12-inch circle. Transfer it carefully to a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  2. Add the Fruit Filling: In a bowl, gently toss the sliced peaches and blueberries with honey until the fruit is evenly coated. Mound the fruit mixture in the center of the pie dough, leaving about a 2-inch border around the edges.
  3. Fold the Dough Edges: Fold the edges of the dough up over the fruit, pleating it to form a rustic edge and leaving the center open to show the filling.
  4. Add Pistachios: Sprinkle the chopped pistachios evenly over the exposed fruit and the dough edges for a crunchy garnish.
  5. Bake the Crostata: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake the crostata on the middle rack for 35-40 minutes or until the crust is golden brown and the fruit filling is bubbly and soft.
  6. Cool and Serve: Let the crostata cool for at least 15 minutes to allow the filling to set slightly before slicing. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Notes

  • Use ripe but firm peaches to avoid excess juice making the crust soggy.
  • Honey can be substituted with granulated sugar for a less intense sweetness.
  • For an extra touch, brush the dough with an egg wash before baking for a glossy finish.
  • Serve with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for added indulgence.
