Ingredients
- Nectarines
- 4 cups, sliced
- Plums
- 4 cups, sliced
- Granulated sugar
- 3/4 cup
- Cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons
- Lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons
- Cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon
- Salt
- 1/4 teaspoon
- Pie crust
- 2 (9-inch) crusts)
- Egg
- 1, beaten (for egg wash)
- Turbinado sugar
- 2 tablespoons (for topping)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a large bowl, combine the sliced nectarines, sliced plums, granulated sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice, cinnamon, and salt. Toss the ingredients well to ensure the fruit is evenly coated.
- Roll out one pie crust and place it in a 9-inch pie dish. Make sure to trim any excess dough hanging over the edges.
- Pour the fruit mixture into the pie crust, spreading it out evenly.
- Roll out the second pie crust and cut it into strips or shapes for a lattice or decorative top. Alternatively, you can simply cover the pie with the second crust if you prefer a fully covered pie.
- Arrange the pie crust strips or shapes on top of the fruit filling, creating a beautiful lattice or decorative pattern.
- Brush the decorative crust with the beaten egg to achieve a shiny, golden finish once baked.
- Sprinkle turbinado sugar evenly over the top crust for an extra crunch and sweetness.
- Bake the pie for 40-45 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly, emitting a delightful aroma.
- Remove the pie from the oven and allow it to cool for at least 1 hour before serving. This cooling period will help the filling set up nicely.
Tips
- For added flavor, consider mixing in a tablespoon of vanilla extract with the fruit filling.
- If you prefer a spicier note, add a pinch of nutmeg or allspice to the filling.
- Serve the pie warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for the ultimate dessert experience.
