Preparation time: 30 minutes | Cooking Time: 1 hour | Total Time: 1 hour 30 minutes | Serves: 8
Ingredients:
- 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup ice water
- 4 cups fresh fruit (such as apple, peach, or berry)
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
Instructions:
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, and cold butter. Use a pastry cutter to mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Sprinkle ice water over the mixture and knead until the dough comes together. Divide the dough in half, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Roll out one half of the dough and place it in a pie dish. In a separate bowl, mix together the fruit, brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt. Pour the fruit mixture into the pie crust.
- Roll out the remaining dough and cut it into strips. Create a lattice pattern on top of the pie by weaving the strips over the fruit filling. Brush the top of the pie with the beaten egg.
- Bake the pie for 50-60 minutes or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly. Allow the pie to cool before serving.

- Avoid adding too much water to the dough, as it can make it sticky and difficult to work with.
- Be careful not to overfill the pie with fruit, as it can result in a soggy bottom crust.
- Make sure to thoroughly seal the edges of the pie crust to prevent the filling from leaking out during baking.
- Avoid cutting into the pie too soon after it comes out of the oven, as the filling needs time to set.
