Peach Blueberry Streusel Pie

Submitted by Tuffykenwell

"A wonderful combination of late summer fruits under a delicious crumbly streusel topping. You can use frozen fruits in place of the fresh but be sure to thaw and drain them first or your pie will be watery."

Cannot believe this hasn't been reviewed! A nice blend of summertime flavors - peaches and blueberries are so perfect together. The lemon zest gives it a bit of tart, fresh "zip!" Add the sweet streusel and it is a perfect treat. I made it with Splenda in the filling and Splenda brown sugar blend in the streusel, and it came out great. I am attaching photos. Such a pretty and delicious treat!
