Recipe Description

It will take your oven longer to heat up than to prepare this fun dessert. So gather up whatever leftover fruit is in your fridge, and put it to good use. And then smile and wipe your brow as everyone ooohs and ahhhs over the beautiful presentation that must have taken “forever” to prepare.

Preparation Instructions

Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Gently unfold and lay out pie crust on a baking sheet lined with parchment or on a baking stone.

In a separate bowl, gently mix together the (sliced) fruit, sugar and cornstarch. Then pour into a strainer to release any extra juices. (Just baking this will release plenty!)

Pour the mixture in the center of the unfolded pie crust leaving a 2-inch border. Fold up the uncovered border over the edge of the fruit and pinch into pleats.

Then brush the egg onto the crust, and sprinkle with the remaining tablespoon of sugar.

Bake in preheated oven until crust is lightly browned, 12 to 15 minutes. Serve warm or at room temperature.

I couldn’t believe how easy this was to prepare or how something so easy could taste so good and look so impressive, but it was! I made it last night for my family, including the inlaws and everyone loved it! And since my crust came in a pack of 2 I made another this morning for tonight! Today instead of the nectarines I used plums. Can’t wait to try it! Thanks so much for sharing this!

This was amazing!!! I made it last night for some friends and EVERYONE loved it! I don’t often make the same recipe twice and my husband stated very clearly that he’d be pissed if I didn’t make this one again!!! Haha! It was a huge hit and I’ll be making this all the time!!!!!

This is so delicious and easy, yet it looks deceptively fancy. I love it and so does my family.

I made this recipe tonight using strawberries and blueberries. My family loved it. I will definitely make this again. I used 3 tablespoons of flour instead of cornstarch and it turned out great. Expect the fruit to ooze out a little. YUM!!!
