1 3/4 cups unsalted cold butter, in cubes
1 tablespoon white vinegar
1 large egg
1/2 cup iced water
Combine flour, salt and sugar in a large bowl.
Add butter and use your fingers until the mixture resembles
coarse meal.
Mix vinegar, egg and water in a bowl and mix into the flour
with your hands just until combined.
Press the dough gently together, wrap in plastic and chill
for at least 1 hour.
Take it out and roll it flat.
Fill a 9 inch pie plate with it.
Cut of excess dough.
Cut out small circles with a cookie cutter to go around the
edge of the pie.
Filling:
5 nectarines, pitted and sliced
1/2 cup blueberries
2 tablespoons plain flour
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1 tablespoon sugar
1 egg

Place the nectarines and blueberries in a bowl and toss with

Bake at 450F for about 40 minutes, or until golden.
Cool and serve.

I just found your lovely blog. It is ever so beautiful and cozy. Love the pie, love the circles around the crust. I am rubbish at making pretty pie edges, might have a chance with this one.
Thank you and thank you.

The setting is so lovely! I just want to climb into the photo, sit in that chair, and carve a slice of that wonderful pie. Was it really photographed outdoors or is that a realistic-looking studio?

This pie is beautiful! Kept the nectarines less slicy and more quartered (eighted?) since they were already quite soft and I didn't use even half of the dough, but it came out beautifully, thank you :) I've been looking for a dough that goes well with fruits -and- veggies and I think this just might be it!
