Roasted Fruit Pie

Roasted Fruit Pie

This Roasted Fruit Pie is prefect for your Thanksgiving table, and so easy when you use store bought pie crusts. Sure nothing beats homemade, but at this time of year semi homemade can be a real time saver.  In this rustic one crust recipe I roasted apples, pears and grapes. You can add or subtract from this combination of ingredients, to fit your lifestyle and taste or what you have on hand.

Am not a fan of double crusted pies, I prefer a crumble toping. And one more thing there’s no rule you have to bake a pie in a   pie pan.I used a 9.5 inch tart pan that goes from oven to table, to dishwasher, and it’s easier to cut prettier slices.

Speaking of ovens this is another recipe that I baked in my  Toaster oven/ air fryer  using the confection option, right now it’s on sale. click the link it will take you there.

The Why’s Of This Roasted Fruit Pie

In this Roasted fruit Pie I like to roast the fruit before baking. Roasted the fruit sweetens the it and caramelizes it to a golden tenderness.

I also bake the pie in a shallow tart/quiche pan for a firmer filling, and more often than not I prebake the crust before filling, I don’t like soggy crusts And I use A crumble topping because personally I don’t like that much dough.
