Recipes
Classic Fruit Pie Thickener
Ingredients:
- 4–5 cups fresh or frozen fruit (berries, peaches, apples, or cherries)
- 2 tbsp Argo Pure Corn Starch
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- Double-crust pie dough (top and bottom)
Steps:
- Preheat oven to 375 °F.
- In a large bowl, toss the fruit with corn starch, sugar, and lemon juice until evenly coated.
- Line a 9-inch pie dish with the bottom crust and fill with the fruit mixture.
- Cover with the top crust, crimp the edges, and cut a few steam vents.
- Bake 45–55 minutes until the crust is golden and the filling bubbles through the vents.
- Cool at least 2 hours before slicing so the corn starch sets the filling fully.
