Pie Crust

Method

Pie Crust Preparation

  1. 1

    Mix Dry Ingredients

    In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, and salt until well combined.

  2. 2

    Cut in Butter

    Add the chilled and cubed butter to the flour mixture. Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

  3. 3

    Add Ice Water

    Gradually add the ice water, one tablespoon at a time, mixing gently with a fork until the dough just comes together. Avoid overmixing.

  4. 4

    Chill the Dough

    Form the dough into a ball, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.

Filling Preparation

  1. 5

    Prepare the Fruit

    Wash, peel, and slice the fresh seasonal fruit as needed. Place in a large mixing bowl.

  2. 6

    Mix Filling Ingredients

    Add the granulated sugar, all-purpose flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, and lemon juice to the fruit. Toss gently to combine and set aside.

Assembling and Baking the Pie

  1. 7

    Preheat the Oven

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

  2. 8

    Roll Out the Dough

    On a floured surface, roll out half of the chilled pie dough to fit a 9-inch pie pan. Transfer the rolled dough into the pan and trim the edges.

  3. 9

    Add Filling

    Pour the prepared fruit filling into the pie crust and spread it evenly. Drizzle the melted butter over the top.

  4. 10

    Top the Pie

    Roll out the second half of the dough and place it over the filling. Cut slits in the top crust to allow steam to escape. Crimp the edges to seal.

  5. 11

    Bake the Pie

    Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.

  6. 12

    Cool and Serve

    Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool on a wire rack for at least 30 minutes before slicing and serving.
