Ingredients
Filling:

1 1/2 cups water

1 1/4 cups (packed) light brown sugar

2 tablespoons cornstarch

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon

3/4 teaspoon nutmeg

pinch of black pepper

2 cups fresh blueberries, washed and stemmed

2 pounds peaches, peeled, pitted, and cut into wedges (about 3 cups)

1/2 cup flour

1 cup oatmeal

1/2 stick butter, cut into small pieces

Finish:

1 unbaked 9 inch pie crust

2 cups sweetened whipped cream

8 sprigs of fresh mint

shaker of powdered sugar

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. In a sauce pan, combine 1 1/2 cups of water, 3/4 cup of brown sugar, cornstarch, salt, 1 teaspoon of cinnamon, 1/2 teaspoon of grated nutmeg, and pepper, whisk until smooth.

2. Place the pan over high heat and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium and simmer for 2 minutes. Remove from heat.

3. Place blueberries and peaches in a mixing bowl and pour the syrup over the fruit. Toss well and cool for 10 minutes.

4. In a mixing bowl, combine the remaining 1/2 cup brown sugar, remaining 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon, remaining 1/4 teaspoon of nutmeg, 1/2 cup of flour, 1 cup of oatmeal, and butter. Using your fingers, work the mixture together until it resembles a coarse crumb-like mixture.

6. Slice and serve warm. Garnish with sweetened whipped cream, fresh mint, and powdered sugar.
