- Add sugar, cornstarch, cinnamon, and nutmeg to the fruit and mix well.
- Pour the fruit mixture into the prepared pie crust.
- Dot the filling with small pieces of margarine.
- Cut slits in the top crust if using a double crust, or cover with a crust lattice.

Tips & Substitutions
For a sweeter pie, feel free to increase the sugar slightly, adjusting to your taste. If you're out of cornstarch, you can substitute with flour, though it may affect the thickness of the filling. If fresh peaches or plums aren't available, canned or frozen fruit can work, but drain them well to avoid excess liquid. Experiment with spices like cardamom for added depth.
Serving Suggestions
Serve slices warm or at room temperature, optionally with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a delightful treat. This pie pairs beautifully with Sinful Hot Fudge Topping for an indulgent twist. You can also serve it alongside whipped cream or a dollop of yogurt for a lighter option.
Storage & Reheating
Store leftover pie in the refrigerator, covered with plastic wrap or in an airtight container, for up to three days. To reheat, place slices in a preheated oven at 350°F for about 10-15 minutes, or until warmed through. This helps keep the crust crisp while warming the filling.

Frequently Asked Questions
How can I prevent the crust from getting soggy?
To prevent a soggy crust, consider pre-baking the pie crust for about 10 minutes before adding the filling. Also, ensure the fruit mixture isn't too watery; if needed, let it sit for a few minutes to drain excess juice before pouring it into the crust.
