Method
Making the Pie Crust
- 1
Prepare the Ingredients
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, and salt.
- 2
Cut in the Butter
Add the unsalted butter, cut into small cubes, to the flour mixture. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- 3
Add Ice Water
Gradually add ice water, one tablespoon at a time, mixing until the dough comes together. Do not overmix.
- 4
Chill the Dough
Divide the dough in half, shape each half into a disc, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
Preparing the Pie Filling
- 5
Prepare the Fruit
Wash, peel (if necessary), and slice the fresh fruit of your choice, measuring out about 4 cups.
- 6
Mix the Filling
In a bowl, combine the sliced fruit, granulated sugar, cornstarch, ground cinnamon, lemon juice, and vanilla extract. Toss to coat the fruit evenly.
Assembling the Pie
- 7
Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
- 8
Roll Out the Dough
On a floured surface, roll out one disc of pie dough to fit your pie dish. Transfer it to the dish and trim the edges.
- 9
Add Filling
Pour the prepared fruit filling into the pie crust, spreading it evenly. Dot with small pieces of butter on top.
- 10
Prepare the Top Crust
Roll out the second disc of dough and place it over the filling. You can cut slits for a lattice design or leave it whole. Trim and crimp the edges to seal.
- 11
Egg Wash
In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and milk. Brush the mixture over the top crust for a golden finish.
- 12
Bake the Pie
Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the filling is bubbling.
- 13
Cool and Serve
Let the pie cool for at least 30 minutes before slicing. Serve warm or at room temperature.
