Stone Fruit Pie
I have to confess that a week ago I had no idea what “Stone Fruits” even were. I mean, the concept obviously makes sense, but it’s taken me this long to really grasp it. Fruits with a single pit……like stones…..those founding food fathers were clever guys yes? And since I’m on an obvious fruit kick lately, what better than to make a pie using everything leftover in my fridge. (I mean I really did have the perfect amount of ripe peaches, plums and cherries to sitting in my fridge to make this.) If you also have apricots or nectarines, by all means throw ’em in!
My sister Nadia and I made this pie together which was fun! She is an excellent cook but doesn’t love the “rules” of baking. She has, however, always been great at making pies because it allows for a little more creativity don’t you think? One you get the right crust, and understand how to add the right amount of thickening agent for the fruit in use, spices and flavorings are flexible. We both LOVED how this pie turned out. The lemon zest made it perfectly tart and the fruits all melded together in such a great way. I’ve never baked with plums before and I really love what they added to the mix. Go find some fancy stone fruits and whip up this delicious summer pie.

Oh ladies, I do miss baking with you guys. I love that you did this together and it looks so perfect. As the official baker for Thanksgiving pies, I feel so very humbled, very humbled indeed.
What a pretty pie! The top looks perfect, then you slice into it and have all the great colors from the fruit. Would love a slice of this with a tiny bit of vanilla ice cream!
I’m glad you explained what a stone fruit is because I had no idea either! And also have never cooked anything with plums, but this pie does look wonderful!
I had no idea what a stone fruit was either! what a beautiful pie. I love baking with my sister, it makes it even more enjoyable
super delicious and healthy too!!!
Those colors look amazing in the photo! I have never had a pie with all three of those fruits together, but no doubt it is delicious.
Pie looks amazing! Love the colors. Yum!
I am dying to dive into that pie!
Love it! I love stone fruit and your pie looks perfect :)
Wow! Plums have been extra good this week. I may have to whip this up if my son doesn’t eat them all! He’s already had two today…eeek!
This is beautiful. I must make this. You and your sis did a great job with this. I can practically smell it. Thanks for sharing.
Beautiful pie! I loved that you used more than one stone fruit!
The pie looks lovely.
This pie looks great! I had no idea that fruits with one pit were called “stone” fruits – interesting tidbit!
OMG I feel like such an idiot because I had no idea what stone fruits were either! How obvious!! Sounds like a yummy pie :)
m-m-m…so delicious looking! Audra you nailed this one..looks and sounds perfection to me!
What beautiful colors. Looks delicious!
Another one of your great pie recipies! I love your perfect pie crust recipe & use it all the time . This time I experimented & added 1 teaspoon of white vinegar. It helped make it handle a little better (I think). The only other variations is that I added 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon & an additional 2 tablespoons of cornstarch ( fruit was very ripe & juicy), to the filling & added a pinch of cinnamon to the fine sugar topping. I like that you latticed this & mine attempt came out pretty good. My problem is my crust tends to fall off a little when baking. I usually put it in the fridge awhile for the dough to firm up after it’s all put together, but I was in a rush & didn’t do this long enough. As sweet as my fruit was, I was surprised that it needed all the sugar for the filling called for. My guy was very happy with his Father’s Day pie and have you to thank for it. Thank you for being my pie baking guru. I celebrate you every time I make your pumpkin pie & so many others.
