Method
Make the Pie Crusts
- 1
Prepare the Dough
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, and salt. Add the chilled, cubed butter and mix using a pastry cutter or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- 2
Add Ice Water
Gradually add ice water, one tablespoon at a time, mixing until the dough just holds together. Do not overwork the dough.
- 3
Chill the Dough
Divide the dough into two equal balls, flatten each into a disk, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
- 4
Roll Out the Dough
On a floured surface, roll out one disk of dough to fit your pie dish. Place it in the dish, and trim the edges. Repeat with the second disk for the top crust.
Make the Fillings

Prepare the Fruit
Wash, peel (if necessary), and chop the fresh fruit into bite-sized pieces.
- 6
Combine Ingredients
In a mixing bowl, combine the prepared fruit, granulated sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice, cinnamon, and vanilla extract. Toss until the fruit is evenly coated.

Fill the Pie Crust
Spoon the fruit filling into the prepared pie crust, spreading it evenly.
Assemble and Bake the Pies

Top the Pie
Cover the filling with the second crust. Seal the edges by crimping with your fingers or a fork. Cut slits in the top crust to allow steam to escape.
- 9
Bake the Pies
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake the pies for 25-30 minutes or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
- 10
Cool and Serve
Let the pies cool for at least 10 minutes before serving. Serve warm with whipped cream or ice cream, if desired.

Sprinkle Sugar
If desired, sprinkle additional sugar on top of the warm pies for extra sweetness.
