You’ll love Melba Pie for your next dessert… a classic, double-crusted pie, featuring the wonderful, sweet flavors of fresh raspberries and peaches! 
Do you know what Melba Pie is? I sure didn’t, until I stumbled upon this recipe in an old cookbook of mine. I’d heard of Peach Melba (a classic dessert) in the past but didn’t know there was even such a thing as a Melba PIE. Melba Pie is a delicious pie which features raspberries AND peaches! Go figure!
This recipe is for a two crusted pie. One crust on the bottom and the other (you guessed it!) is on the top. Whether you make your own pie crust (here’s mine for “Mom’s Pie Crust“), or you prefer to buy pre-made pie crust dough, that is your choice.
The fruit filling is a cinch to make, so this is a rather simple and tasty pie to make with the summer bounty of peaches and raspberries available. Here’s how to make this dessert.

How To Make A Melba Pie
First thing you need to do is prepare a DOUBLE crust pastry shell. Once you have the pie dough ready, you need to make the filling. Of course, you can also purchase commercially prepared pie crust (you will need two crusts), if that’s more convenient!
In a medium sized saucepan, mix together the granulated sugar, cornstarch, and the cinnamon. Stir in the raspberries. If you will be using FROZEN raspberries, do NOT drain them. Simply add them to the pan.
Cook and stir the raspberry mixture until it thickens and the mixture comes to a boil.
Once it begins to boil and the fruit filling has thickened, add the peaches and lemon juice, then remove the pan from heat.
Fill The Pie Crust
Line a pie pan with the bottom pastry. Prick the dough in several spots with the tines of a fork. Carefully add the pie filling on top of the pie crust.
Top the Melba pie filling with the other pie crust. Seal and decoratively flute the edges of the pie crust dough. Cut a couple of slits into the top of the pie, to allow steam to escape while baking.
Bake The Melba Pie!
Bake the pie for about 30-35 minutes (or until light golden brown on top). Some of the juices may be bubbling around the slits you cut in the top crust.
Carefully remove the pie from the oven and transfer it to a wire rack to let it cool. When the pie has cooled, it’s ready to serve.
Time To EAT!
Slice a nice piece of pie and serve it with some vanilla ice cream on top or on the side! Yum! Take a few bites and enjoy your homemade raspberry and peach Melba Pie!
I hope you will find time to make this delicious pie, and as always, I really trust you and those you love will really enjoy it!

You'll love Melba Pie for your next dessert... a classic, double-crusted pie, featuring the wonderful, sweet flavors of fresh raspberries and peaches!
- Double crust pastry (homemade or store-bought)
- 1/3 cup granulated sugar
- 3 Tablespoons cornstarch
- 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 1/4 cups (10 oz. package) raspberries (fresh or frozen-if frozen, thawed but UNDRAINED)
- 2 cups fresh peach slices (can also use a 1 lb.,13 oz. can of peaches, DRAINED)
- 1 Tablespoon lemon juice
- While making the pie filling, preheat your oven to 425 degrees.
- Prepare a double crust pastry shell. Place one of the crusts into a 9" pie pan. Prick the bottom of the crust with the tines of a fork.
- Place the granulated sugar, cornstarch and cinnamon into a medium sized pan. Gently stir in the (undrained) raspberries. Cook this, (while stirring constantly so it won't stick) on medium heat until it begins to thicken, and comes to a boil.
- Stir in the sliced (drained) peaches, and the lemon juice. Once ingredients are all combined, pour the pie filling into the pie pastry shell.
- Put the other pie crust on top of the filling; seal the two crusts together around edges, then decoratively flute the edges.
- Using a sharp knife, make a couple small slits in the center of the top crust.
- Bake pie in preheated 425 degree oven for approximately 30 minutes, or until the crust has begun to turn golden brown.
- Remove pie to a wire rack to cool.
- Serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream... and enjoy!
