Ingredients
Instructions
- Wash the fruit and let it dry.
- Mix the flour and sugar together.
- Place the fruit in the unbaked pie crust.
- Pour the flour-sugar mixture over the fruit.
- Slice the stick of oleo and place on top of the pie to create a top crust.
- Bake at 350°F until the crust is light brown.
Tips & Substitutions
For best results, use ripe, in-season fruit to maximize flavor. If you don't have oleo, unsalted butter can be used as a substitute. You can also add a teaspoon of cinnamon or nutmeg to the flour-sugar mixture for added warmth. For a vegan version, consider using a plant-based butter alternative. Remember to check on the pie while baking to prevent over-browning.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the fruit pie warm or at room temperature with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for a delightful contrast. It pairs beautifully with Mrs. Claus' Holiday Punch for festive gatherings. Consider serving it alongside a simple salad for a refreshing balance.
Storage & Reheating
Leftover fruit pie can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place individual slices in the microwave for about 20-30 seconds or in the oven at 350°F for 10-15 minutes until warmed through. This helps maintain the crust's texture while ensuring the filling stays delicious.
