I am definitely a pie person, and there is nothing like a fruit pie in the summer time. Stone fruits are so delicious, and berries complement them so well. Ingredients:
1 (15 ounce) box refrigerated pie crusts |
2 lbs plums, pitted, cut into 1/2-inch-thick wedges |
1 quart strawberry, trimmed and quartered |
1 cup sugar |
1 1/2 teaspoons sugar |
1/2 cup cornstarch |
3/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon |
1 egg |
Directions:
1. Place baking sheet on center oven rack. Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
2. Fit single pie crust into a 9-inch pie pan.
3. Mix fruit, 1 cup sugar, cornstarch and cinnamon; spoon into pie shell.
4. Place remaining pie crust over fruit; flute edge. Cut slits and top and prick with fork to release steam. Brush on egg; sprinkle with remaining sugar.
5. Bake on sheet 1 hour, 20 minutes or until bubbly. (If crust browns too quickly, shield with strips or pieces of aluminum foil.).
