How to make it

  • Preheat oven to 425°F
  • In a large bowl blend the flour, the butter, and the salt until the mixture resembles crumbly meal. Add the 2 tablespoons ice water, toss the mixture until the water is incorporated, adding the additional ice water if necessary to form a dough, and form the dough into two balls
  • Roll out half the dough on a lightly floured surface, fit it into a 9-inch (1 quart) pie plate, and trim the edge, leaving a 1/2-inch overhang
  • In a large bowl toss together fruit, flour, sugar, lemon juice, lemon zest, and any optional spices
  • Fill pie and dot the top with slices of butter
  • Roll out the remaining dough into a round on the lightly floured surface
  • Trim the dough leaving a 1-inch overhang, fold the overhang under the bottom crust, pressing the edge to seal it, and crimp the edge decoratively
  • Brush the crust with beaten egg and sprinkle the pie lightly with sugar
  • cut slits in the top crust
  • Cover the edges with foil and bake the pie for 20 minutes
  • Take off the foil and reduce the temperature to 375°F
  • and bake the pie for 30 to 35 minutes more, or until the crust is golden and the filling is bubbling. Transfer the pie to a rack and let it cool
