Tips:

  • Use ripe, in-season fruit. This will ensure the best flavor and texture in your pie.
  • Don't overwork the dough. Overworking the dough will make it tough and chewy. Mix it just until it comes together.
  • Chill the dough before baking. This will help to prevent the dough from shrinking and cracking.
  • Bake the pie in a preheated oven. This will help to ensure that the crust is cooked through and the filling is bubbly.
  • Let the pie cool slightly before serving. This will allow the filling to set and the flavors to meld.
