Ingredients
Instructions
- Mix the flour, salt, and nutmeg in a bowl.

- Pour the mixture over the sliced fruit filling in the pie crust.
- Bake the pie at 300°F for 1 hour until golden and bubbly.
Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider using a mix of peaches and apples in your pie. If you're out of nutmeg, cinnamon is a great substitute. Ensure the fruit is well-drained to prevent a soggy crust. If the crust starts to brown too quickly, cover the edges with foil. Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a delightful treat.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the pie warm with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream. It pairs beautifully with Strawberry Sauce For Dessert for an extra layer of flavor. Consider serving alongside a fresh salad or Buttermilk Scalloped Potatoes for a well-rounded meal. Perfect for a family gathering or holiday celebration.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover pie in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place individual slices in the microwave for about 30 seconds or warm the whole pie in a 350°F oven for 10-15 minutes until heated through. This helps maintain the crust's texture.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use frozen fruit for this pie?
Yes, frozen fruit works well, but be sure to thaw and drain it thoroughly to avoid excess moisture. You may want to increase the flour slightly to absorb any extra liquid from the thawed fruit.
How can I tell when the pie is done baking?
The pie is done when the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly. You can also check for doneness by inserting a knife into the center; it should come out clean if the filling is set.
Can I make the pie crust from scratch?
Absolutely! A homemade crust can add a wonderful flavor and texture to your pie. Use cold butter and ice water for the best results, and chill the dough before rolling it out to prevent shrinkage while baking.
