Ingredients

• ½ cup white sugar
• ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• ⅛ teaspoon salt
• 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 1 (14.1 ounce) package double-crust pie pastry, thawed
• 1 tablespoon lime juice
• 1 lime, zested
• 4 cups peeled, seeded, and thinly sliced guavas
• 3 tablespoons cold butter, cut into small pieces

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

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

Step 2

Combine sugar, flour, lime zest, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt in a large bowl; set aside.

Step 3

Fit 1 pie crust into a 9-inch pie plate. Arrange guava slices on the bottom of crust, mounding slices of guava in the center. Sprinkle guava with flour-sugar mixture. Drizzle with lime juice, then dot with butter.

Step 4

Cover filling with remaining pie crust and crimp edges together. Make several slits in top crust to allow steam to escape.

Step 5

Bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes. Reduce temperature to 350 degrees (175 degrees C) and continue baking until filling is tender and crust is golden, 30 to 40 more minutes.
