About

A fresh fruit pie should be just that: fresh, and simple. The greatest effort goes into making the crust, so with that done, the filling is a simple tossing of ingredients.

Here is a chart of filling-ingredient ratios for a nicely set (not too runny, not too thick) and nicely sweetened (not too sweet, not too tart) fruit pie.

Method

While the pie dough is chilling, prepare the fruit. Toss the fruit with the tapioca and let the mixture sit for 5 minutes so the tapioca can soften. Stir in the sugar and other ingredients to coat.
Pull the pastry out of the fridge 30 minutes before rolling. Preheat the oven to 400°F
