Jump Rope Pie

Named for the rhyme about jump ropes that involves different kinds of fruit, this fruit-packed pie is a fun treat with a double crust. If you’re anything like me then the crust is your favorite part of just about any pie.

For this recipe you can use pre-made pie crusts from the grocery or you can make them from scratch using a recipe like this one.

The filling is full of different fruits: apples, peaches, pears, and plums. To enhance their flavor are plenty of different spices like cardamom, cinnamon, and vanilla.

For the top crust I chose to do a twisted lattice design, which reminded me of rope so I went with it. But, you can do a full crust, plain lattice, or any other design that you like. As long as there are places for the steam to escape while the pie bakes you’re good.

There’s no need to blind bake this pie, but there are 2 tricks you’ll need to use in order to get perfectly-cooked fruit combined with a golden crust. The first is that it goes into the oven on a really hot setting and stays at that temperature for the first 15 minutes of baking. After that you reduce the heat.

The other trick is to cover the top with foil if it starts to brown too quickly. This is something I do for all my pies, but it’s important to keep an eye on this one since the starting temperature is so high.

I like to serve this pie with some whipped cream, but some vanilla ice cream would also be great with all the fruits.
