 Directions: Assembling and Baking the Pie:

2. Remove the 9” cast iron skillet containing the pie crust from the refrigerator.
3. Pour the fruit filling into the pie crust. Use your hands to gently press down the fruit.
4. Cover the fruit filling with an even layer of crumble, making sure to leave no fruit exposed.
5. Place the skillet  on a rimmed baking sheet and bake for 1 hour on the bottom rack of your oven.
6. Rotate the pie and continue to bake for 45 minutes. The pie is done when the crust is golden brown and the fruit filling is bubbling steadily.

This pie lasts in your refrigerator for up to 7 days.
