Method

Instructions

Prepare the Pie Crust

In a large bowl, mix the flour, sugar, and salt. Cut in the cold butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in ice water, one tablespoon at a time, until the dough comes together. Divide the dough in half, shape into disks, wrap in plastic, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.

Make the Filling

In another bowl, combine the fresh fruit, sugar, cornstarch, cinnamon, and lemon juice. Toss until the fruit is evenly coated.

Assemble the Pie

Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Roll out one dough disk to fit a 9-inch pie pan. Place the crust in the pan, fill with the fruit mixture, and dot with butter. Roll out the second disk and place over the filling. Cut slits for steam to escape. Seal and flute the edges.

Bake the Pie

Bake for 15 minutes in the preheated oven. Reduce the temperature to 350°F (175°C) and continue baking for 30-40 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the filling is bubbly. Cool before serving.
