Categories     Fruit     Dessert     Freeze/Chill

Number Of Ingredients 7

Ingredients
3 pounds firm-ripe apricots, peaches, or plums
About 1/2 cup sugar
About 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon or mace
1/4 teaspoon salt

Steps:

  • Preparation 1. Cut each of the apricots lengthwise into quarters (sixths if they're very large), discarding pits. (If using peaches, peel them and cut into thin wedges. If using plums, cut fruit into 1/2-inch slices.) You should have about 8 cups fruit total. 2. In a large bowl, gently mix fruit, 1/2 cup sugar, 1/4 cup flour (see notes), lemon juice, cinnamon, and salt. Taste fruit and add more sugar if desired (up to 3/4 cup total). 3. Line a 9-inch pie pan with a 20-inch-long sheet of foil (there should be about 5 inches of overhang on each side of the pan). Line the foil with a 20-inch-long piece of plastic wrap. Pour fruit into plastic wrap; pull edges together and fold over to seal, then repeat to seal foil over plastic. Freeze up to 3 months, removing from pie pan, if desired, after filling is hard, in about 8 hours. From freezer to oven To bake the pie, unwrap frozen filling and place in a 9-inch pie pan lined with an unbaked crust; cover with top crust, crimp edges to seal, and cut small slits in top to vent. Place on a foil-lined baking sheet. Bake pie in a 375° regular or convection oven until crust is browned and filling is bubbling in the center, 1 1/4 to 1 1/2 hours. (If crust gets too brown before filling is bubbling, cover edges loosely with foil.) If baking a fresh pie, after mixing filling in step 2, pour directly into unbaked pastry, cover, crimp, and slit. Bake for about 1 hour. Nutrition analysis per serving of double-crust apricot pie.

Tips for Making the Best Fruit Pie Filling:

  • Choose the right fruit. Use fresh, ripe fruit for the best flavor. If using frozen fruit, thaw it completely before using.
  • Prepare the fruit properly. Wash the fruit thoroughly and remove any pits, stems, or cores. If using berries, hull them.
  • Sweeten the fruit. Sugar is essential for balancing the tartness of the fruit. The amount of sugar you need will depend on the sweetness of the fruit and your personal preference.
  • Add some thickener. A thickener will help to prevent the pie filling from being too runny. You can use cornstarch, flour, or tapioca.
  • Flavor the filling. Add some spices, herbs, or citrus zest to the filling for extra flavor. Common spices used in fruit pies include cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger.
  • Chill the filling before using. This will help to prevent the filling from bubbling over in the oven.

Conclusion:

With these tips in mind, you can easily make delicious fruit pie filling that will impress your family and friends. So next time you're looking for a sweet and easy dessert, give fruit pie a try! Remember, the key to a great fruit pie filling is to use fresh, ripe fruit and to balance the sweetness and tartness of the fruit with sugar and thickener. With a little practice, you'll be able to make perfect fruit pie filling every time.
