There’s good reason why so many people love pie- some people even say it’s better than cake! Pies can really be anything- they can have silky smooth fillings, or chunky fruity fillings. They can have super flakey crusts or have a crumbly cookie texture.

As a trained pastry chef I have played around with many pie recipes- especially fruit pies! In this post you will find 6 juicy fruit pie recipes from my blog that are all well loved. Some are made with a classic pie dough and some with a cookie crust but they are all delicious!

FAQ about Fruit Pie Recipes

How do you store fruit pies? The best way to store a fruit pie is to keep it in the fridge for 5-7 days depending on the type of pie you have.

How do you keep fruit pies from being runny? Depending on the fruit pie you have you may need corn starch or more flour to soak up the juices. Also a good tip is to let your pie cool down completely before cutting into it to let the inside settle and firm up.

How long are fruit pies good for? Usually pies with fruit last 5-7 days in the fridge.

Are fruit pies healthy? They definitely can be! It depends on how much added sugar you are adding to the filling.

Can you freeze a fruit pie? Yes you can freeze either an unbaked fruit pie in the freezer for up to 3 months, or freeze a baked pie for up to 2 months. To freeze, wrap the pie well in aluminum foil or sealed in and airtight freezer safe bag.

Ingredients

  • 2 9" Pre made pie crusts (homemade or store bought)
  • 4 Gala Apples
  • 1/4 cup lemon juice
  • 2 tbsp all purpose flour Plus 1 teaspoon divided
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar Plus 1 teaspoon divided
  • 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 3-6 Tbsp Caramel sauce store bought or homemade
  • 1 egg for egg wash
  • turbinado sugar for garnish

Instructions

Prepare the apple filling

  • Preheat the oven to 375° F. Peel and slice 4 medium apples into 1/4- 1/2 inch slices. Place the slices in a medium sized bowl and pour 1/4 cup lemon juice over them. Mix lightly. Set aside while you prepare the dry ingredients.
  • In a large bowl combine 2 tablespoons flour, 1/4 cup sugar, and 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon.
  • In a small pinch bowl, combine the remaining 1 teaspoon flour and 1 teaspoon sugar. Mix to combine. Sprinkle this mixture all over the bottom of one pie crust.
  • Drain the apple slices- pour them out onto a few paper towels. Dry them as best as you can then mix them into the dry ingredients in the large bowl. Toss the apples to coat them evenly.

Assemble the pie

  • Layer one layer of apples on the bottom of the pie and top with 1-2 tablespoons of caramel sauce. Repeat until there are no more apples left. Finish with a last drizzle of caramel sauce. Use 3-6 tbsp- as much or as little as you like!

Prepare the pie crust

  • Decide which design you are using. Please see the original post for ideas!
  • For a simple pie decoration- roll out the pie crust on a floured surface into a 10" round with 1"2 thickness. Fold the crust onto the rolling pin, lift and place it on top of the pie. Trim and crimp the edges with the tines of a fork or your fingers. Add 3 1" slits into the middle of the pie to let steam escape. Alternatively you can choose to make a lattice crust. See post for step by step instructions!
  • Whisk an egg in a small bowl and brush it over the pie crust. Sprinkle with turbinado sugar and bake for 30-35 minutes. The pie is down when its golden brown and bubbly!
  • Cool completely before cutting into it.

Notes

You can use either store bought or a homemade pie crust recipe. Learn how to make a flaky pie crust.
You will need two pie crusts, one for the bottom and one for decorating the top.

Things I can’t afford: 🙅🏻‍♀️I cant Things I can’t afford:

🙅🏻‍♀️I cant afford to give up on my goals even if its hard right now

🙋🏻‍♀️I cant afford to care about what anyone else thinks

🙆🏻‍♀️I cant afford to overthink past situations or upcoming events

💆🏻‍♀️ I cant afford to waste time trying to do things on my own 

🤷🏻‍♀️I can’t  afford to NOT create for the sake of creating

🙅🏻‍♀️I can’t afford to keep wasting time on free resources when I know I just need to pay for it

💁🏻‍♀️I can’t afford to spend any more time wanting instead of doing

When it comes down to it:

✨I cannot afford to not believe that everything I desire is on it’s way to me ✨

Because it all starts with belief. It has gotten me to where I am now and it will get me to the next level that I want to be on. 

Entrepreneurship is like going on an endless rollercoaster ride- sometimes you are really high up, and sometimes you are super down low. But it’s constantly moving and you never stay in the same place for long.

So i just wanna know -are you coming along for the ride?

Lemme know what you can’t afford 👇🏻

Sharing some pics from the photography workshop I went to in Croatia hosted by the wonderful @evakosmasflores and @bealubas - seriously the most magical week ever, and now I am itching for another trip.

Maybe adding that to the summer itinerary, we shall see!

3 ways to get the most out of every shoot:

👆🏻 Save this post for later!

Getting the most out of your shoots is essential these days- its a lot to set up a whole shoot just for one picture, so maximizing your shoot to build up that content library is the way to go! 

Heres 3 ways to do it:

📸 Change up the background- This is easy especially if you are shooting something big like this raspberry tart and don’t have a heavily styled scene. 

📸 Change the angle. Been shooting straight on? Now try shooting overhead. Been shooting close up? Now go back a few steps. Look for interesting angles you haven’t gotten!

📸 Add in storytelling elements like a chair pulled back, or someones hands in the frame. This helps the viewer feel like they are part of the image bc they imagine themselves in the scene.

If you’ve been struggling on your shoots, and getting the images you have in you head onto the board I invite you to check out my 90 day food photography mentorship program.

Doors close tomorrow, so click the link in my profile to apply and get in!

This Sunday, June 5th is #WorldEnvironmentDay! It’s a day to spread awareness that can lead to action and protect this wonderful world we live in. In honor of this day I am sharing the amazing time I had on @floridacrystalssugar’s organic sugar cane farm! @floridacrystalssugar is committed to organic and sustainable farming and they are the only grower of organic sugar cane in the entire U.S! With their use of barn owls instead of pesticides, they are able to grow, harvest, and mill minimally processed sugar that is always my go to for baking! I feel so super lucky to be able to have had this personal tour of the farm to get an inside look of just how committed @floridacrystalssugar is in protecting our environment! Click the link in my bio to learn more about their story and let’s keep up the good work!

Croatia advanced storytelling workshop day 1! To Croatia advanced storytelling workshop day 1! 

Today we shot this beautiful cherry chocolate cake and talked all about ways we can add storytelling into our images. 

Between the food, the views, the place, and of course the people, this place is just magical✨

There’s nothing like a group of like minded women getting together shooting, talking, eating, and having some fun- plus no-one gets mad at us when we shoot for 20 minutes before we start eating 🤣

It’s so super important to me to keep investing in myself, my photography, my creativity, and my business. It’s something I plan to keep doing forever because I have ALWAYS seen a return on it.

I love that there are always new things to learn even if you think you have learned about the subject before- learning about it in a different setting or from a new person opens your eyes in a whole new way. 

That’s what makes this job so exciting- there is always something new (or old) to learn.

P.s My 90 day food photography mentorship program is now open for enrollment! If you want to level up your styling skills, make new best friends, and learn how to make money in the food photography industry, click the link in my bio to learn how we can work together!
