Crust
To make the crust, start by combining the flour and salt in a mixing bowl. Cut in the shortening with a pastry blender until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Add the ice water, one tablespoon at a time, stirring with a fork until the dough comes together in a ball. Divide the dough in half and roll out each half on a floured surface.
Filling
For the filling, combine the fruit, sugar, cornstarch, and cinnamon in a large mixing bowl. Mix well and let sit for a few minutes to let the juices release. Pour the fruit mixture into the prepared pie crust and dot with butter.
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Place the filled pie crust into the oven and bake for 45-50 minutes, until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling. Let the pie cool for at least 30 minutes before serving.
Tips
- If you prefer a sweeter pie, increase the amount of sugar in the filling. - You can use any type of fruit you like in this recipe. - Make sure to let the pie cool before slicing to avoid a runny filling.
