Double Crusted Peach and Blueberry Pie

3 1/2 cups all purpose flour

2 teaspoons salt

1 Tablespoon granulated sugar

2 cups unsalted butter, cut into cubes

12 ounce bag frozen blueberries

3/4 cup sugar

1/4 cup flour

1 Tablespoon sugar

Drizzle in cold water and continue to mix until dough just comes together. Wrap in plastic and refrigerate for 30 minutes. Roll out on a floured surface to form (2) 10” circles. Place one of the circles in the bottom of a pie dish, set the other one aside.

For Filling:

Sprinkle remaining Tablespoon of sugar on top of the pie. Place pie on a cookie sheet and place in oven. Set timer for 45-55 minutes. Bake until golden brown on the top.
