Topping (optional)

Method

Pie Crust Preparation

  1. 1

    Mix Dry Ingredients

    In a large bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, and salt.

  2. 2

    Cut in Butter

    Add the chilled, cubed unsalted butter to the dry ingredients and use a pastry cutter or your fingers to blend until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

  3. 3

    Add Ice Water

    Gradually add the ice water, one tablespoon at a time, mixing until the dough comes together. Do not overmix.

  4. 4

    Chill the Dough

    Divide the dough into two equal parts, shape into discs, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.

Filling Preparation

  1. 5

    Prepare the Fruit

    Wash and cut the fresh fruit into bite-sized pieces. Place in a large mixing bowl.

  2. 6

    Mix Filling Ingredients

    In a separate bowl, combine granulated sugar, cornstarch, ground cinnamon, and lemon juice. Pour over the prepared fruit and gently toss to coat.

Assembling the Pie

  1. 7

    Preheat Oven

    Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).

  2. 8

    Roll Out Dough

    On a floured surface, roll out one disc of dough to fit a 12-inch pie pan. Place the rolled dough into the pie pan.

  3. 9

    Add Filling

    Spoon the fruit filling into the pie crust, spreading it evenly.

  4. 10

    Dot with Butter

    Dot the top of the filling with small pieces of butter.

  5. 11

    Add Top Crust

    Roll out the second disc of dough and place it over the filling. Seal the edges by crimping with a fork or your fingers. Cut slits in the top crust to allow steam to escape.

Baking

  1. 12

    Bake the Pie

    Place the pie in the preheated oven and bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.

  2. 13

    Cool the Pie

    Remove the pie from the oven and allow it to cool for at least 2 hours before serving.

Serving Suggestions

  1. 14

    Serve with Toppings

    Slice the cooled pie and serve with whipped cream or ice cream, if desired.
