Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 cup Unsalted butter (cold, cubed)
- 3 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 cup Ice water
- 6 cups Mixed fresh fruit (e.g., apples, strawberries, blueberries, peaches)
- 2 tablespoons Cornstarch
- 0.5 cup Brown sugar
- 3 tablespoons Honey
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 1 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
- 1 piece Egg (beaten, for egg wash)
- 2 tablespoons Coarse sugar (optional, for topping)
Instructions
In a large bowl, mix the flour, granulated sugar, and salt. Add the cold, cubed butter, and use a pastry cutter or your fingers to work it into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Gradually add ice water, one tablespoon at a time, mixing gently until the dough comes together. Divide the dough into two equal disks, wrap them in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Prepare the fruit filling: In a large bowl, combine the mixed fruit with cornstarch, brown sugar, honey, lemon juice, and cinnamon. Toss until the fruit is evenly coated.
On a lightly floured surface, roll out one disk of dough into a 12-inch circle and fit it into a 9-inch pie dish. Trim any overhanging edges.
Pour the fruit filling into the prepared pie crust, spreading it out evenly.
Roll out the second disk of dough into another 12-inch circle. Place it over the fruit filling and trim the edges, leaving about 1/2-inch overhang. Pinch the edges together to seal and crimp as desired.
Cut a few small slits in the top crust to allow steam to escape. Alternatively, create a lattice top by cutting the dough into strips and weaving them over the fruit.
Brush the top crust with the beaten egg and sprinkle with coarse sugar, if desired.
Bake in the preheated oven for 50-55 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the fruit filling is bubbling.
Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool on a wire rack for at least 2 hours before serving to allow the filling to set.
Slice and enjoy your Fruitful Pie, either on its own or with a scoop of vanilla ice cream!
