Ingredients

• 2.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 cup Unsalted butter (cold, cubed)
• 3 tablespoons Granulated sugar
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.5 cup Ice water
• 6 cups Mixed fresh fruit (e.g., apples, strawberries, blueberries, peaches)
• 2 tablespoons Cornstarch
• 0.5 cup Brown sugar
• 3 tablespoons Honey
• 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
• 1 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
• 1 piece Egg (beaten, for egg wash)
• 2 tablespoons Coarse sugar (optional, for topping)

Directions

Step 1

In a large bowl, mix the flour, granulated sugar, and salt. Add the cold, cubed butter, and use a pastry cutter or your fingers to work it into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 2

Gradually add ice water, one tablespoon at a time, mixing gently until the dough comes together. Divide the dough into two equal disks, wrap them in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.

Step 3

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 4

Prepare the fruit filling: In a large bowl, combine the mixed fruit with cornstarch, brown sugar, honey, lemon juice, and cinnamon. Toss until the fruit is evenly coated.

Step 5

On a lightly floured surface, roll out one disk of dough into a 12-inch circle and fit it into a 9-inch pie dish. Trim any overhanging edges.

Step 6

Pour the fruit filling into the prepared pie crust, spreading it out evenly.

Step 7

Roll out the second disk of dough into another 12-inch circle. Place it over the fruit filling and trim the edges, leaving about 1/2-inch overhang. Pinch the edges together to seal and crimp as desired.

Step 8

Cut a few small slits in the top crust to allow steam to escape. Alternatively, create a lattice top by cutting the dough into strips and weaving them over the fruit.

Step 9

Brush the top crust with the beaten egg and sprinkle with coarse sugar, if desired.

Step 10

Bake in the preheated oven for 50-55 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the fruit filling is bubbling.

Step 11

Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool on a wire rack for at least 2 hours before serving to allow the filling to set.

Step 12

Slice and enjoy your Fruitful Pie, either on its own or with a scoop of vanilla ice cream!
