Fuyu Persimmon Pie

Ingredients

• 0.5 cups unsalted butter
• 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 0.5 cups white sugar
• 0.5 cups packed brown sugar
• 0.25 cups lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1 package 9-inch pie crusts , 14.1 ounce
• 3 pounds Fuyu persimmons - peeled , cored, and sliced
• 1 tablespoon cinnamon sugar , or to taste

Instructions

1. 1

   Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).

2. 2

   Melt butter in a saucepan. Stir in flour to form a paste. Add white sugar, brown sugar, lemon juice, and cinnamon; bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer until sugar is dissolved.

3. 3

   Line a 9-inch pie plate with 1 crust. Fill with sliced persimmons, mounding them slightly in the center. Pour sugar-butter mixture over the persimmons.

4. 4

   Sprinkle cinnamon sugar over the second pie crust. Cut into strips. Make an X with the 2 longest strips in the center of the pie. Alternate horizontal and vertical strips, weaving them in an over-and-under pattern. Use the shortest strips for the edges of the lattice.

5. 5

   Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes. Reduce oven temperature to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Continue baking until crust is golden brown, about 45 minutes more. Cool pie completely on a wire rack, about 2 hours.
