- Meanwhile, preheat oven to 450 and put pie crust in pie tin.
- After sitting time, add nutmeg, salt, cinnamon, cloves, and lemon juice to mixture.
- Stir well and put into crust, draining excess liquid.
- Dot top of mixture with pats of butter then place crust on top and seal edges.
- Place a cookie sheet under pie to catch drips.

One of the best pies I've ever tasted! It got rave reviews from dinner guests, too. 3 cups of sugar sounded like an awful lot, but I followed the recipe exactly and the pie turned out sweet-tart and was just right served a la mode. The cloves and nutmeg really go well with this fruit combo, better than just cinnamon as most recipes call for. With 6 cups of fruit, I decided to use my deep dish pie pan and increased the pie dough recipe by 20%. Good thing I put a pizza pan under it, as it did bubble over a bit near the end of the baking time. Try it with Oil-Based Pie Crust #463127 (adjust yield to 1.2 pie crusts for deep dish).Reply
