Classic Fruit Pie

Print Recipe

A timeless dessert featuring a flaky crust filled with a medley of seasonal fruits, offering a perfect balance of sweetness and tartness.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 Pie Crust (homemade or store-bought)
  • 4 cups Fresh Fruit (apples, berries, peaches)
  • 1 cup Sugar (adjust based on fruit ripeness)
  • 2 tbsp Cornstarch or flour
  • 1 tsp Cinnamon or nutmeg
  • 2 tbsp Lemon juice

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Crust: In a mixing bowl, combine flour, sugar, and cold butter. Using a pastry blender, mix until crumbly. Add ice water gradually until the dough forms. Gather it into a disk, wrap in plastic, and refrigerate for at least one hour.
  2. Prepare the Filling: In another bowl, toss your chosen fruit with sugar, lemon juice, and cornstarch until evenly coated. Set aside.
  3. Roll Out the Crust: On a floured surface, roll out the chilled dough to about ¼ inch thick. Fit it into your pie dish, trimming the excess.
  4. Fill the Pie: Spoon the fruit mixture into the crust, spreading it evenly. Optionally, sprinkle sugar or crumble over the fruit.
  5. Create a Lattice Top (optional): Roll out another piece of dough, cut strips, and layer them in a lattice pattern.
  6. Bake: Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Bake for 15 minutes, then reduce to 350°F (175°C) for 35-40 minutes. The filling should bubble, and the crust golden brown.
  7. Cool and Serve: Allow the pie to cool for at least 30 minutes before slicing.

Notes

Make-Ahead: Prepare the pie crust up to 2 days in advance, refrigerate, or freeze unbaked for later use.
