Desserts Packed With Summer Fruit

We're thankful to pie for being a year-round treat. While its outer layer can vary from a flaky and crispy crust to a buttery graham cracker one, the base is just the canvas for any filling imaginable, from fluffy ice cream to rich chocolate. But come summer, when farmers markets are overflowing with perfectly ripe, sweet, and tart fruit, we want nothing more than to fill my pie base with all the berries and stone fruit we can get our hands on.

When it comes to baking fruit pies and their variations, ratios are crucial. Too much sugar and you’ll end up with runny fruit and a soggy crust; too much starch will leave you with a gloppy filling. So long as you measure out your ingredients accurately (we recommend utilizing a kitchen scale) and use the right pan, bright, fruity, and crispy summer pies, galettes, and more can be in your future—just be sure to serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for the ultimate pairing.
