Pies are delicious to enjoy for dessert all year long, but there's something special about enjoying a pie baked with fresh summer fruit.

Using fresh fruit is the key to baking a delicious and juicy homemade pie. Summer fruits like peaches, berries, and cherries are in full swing during this season, making them the perfect ingredients for any pie recipe.

Summer Pie Flavors

Summer fruits like peaches, berries, and cherries are popular during this season, making them the perfect ingredients for any pie recipe.

There are several popular pies to make with fresh fruit during the summer season. One of my favorite pies to bake, and enjoy, during the summer is blueberry pie.

Peach pie or Peach Walnut Pie are two other popular recipes made with ripe, sweet peaches for a summery twist on a classic dessert. If you like a tart flavor, you'll enjoy a cherry pie!

And for something a little different, you could try a mixed berry pie with a combination of different berries.

Homemade Pie Crust

If you're just now starting out to bake and are not really sure of how to make homemade pie crust, don't worry.

I have a really really great post on Pie Crust Basics that shows you how easy it is to make homemade pie crust to use for these delicious summer pies. 

I used to struggle with making my own homemade pie crust and often used a lot of refrigerator pie crust dough when baking.

One day I opened up my computer and went searching for a video to watch someone make homemade pie dough. I learned and so can you!

Pie Recipe FAQ's

To view the answers, simply click on the down arrow (⬇) next to each question. If you have any other questions not answered here, please leave a comment!

Can you make a fruit pie the day before?

Yes, you can make a fruit pie the day before serving it. However, you need to make sure that you store it properly. Once the pie has cooled down to room temperature, cover it tightly with plastic wrap and store it in the refrigerator. You can use a plastic storage container specifically made for pies.

How do I make my fruit pie not runny?

One way is to make a thickener such as cornstarch or flour to add to your pie filling which will help to absorb excess moisture and thicken the juices. Make sure that your pie has enough ventilation by cutting slits in the top crust, which will allow steam to escape and prevent the filling from becoming too runny.
