How To Make harvest moon fruit pie

  • 1
    Roll half of the pastry to 1/8 inch thickness on a lightly floured surface. Place in a 9-inch pie plate. Set aside.
  • 2
    Combine the apple slices and the next 8 ingredients in a medium bowl and stir gently to combine.
  • 3
    Spoon the apple mixture into the prepared pastry shell. Dot the apple mixture with butter.
  • 4
    OPTIONAL: Top the apple mixture with chopped pecans, walnuts, or lemon slices.
  • 5
    Roll the remaining half of the pastry to 1/8 inch thickness; transfer the pastry to the top of the pie. Trim any excess pastry along the edges.
  • 6
    Fold the edges under and flute. Cut slits in the top crust to allow steam to escape.
  • 7
    Bake at 425 degrees F for 50 minutes. Cover the edges of the pie crust with a pie shield or aluminum foil to prevent over-browning, if necessary.
