Honey-Sweetened Fruit Pie

I made this to use several fruits available in late June, including gooseberries! I keep bees and like to use my own honey when possible.

Ingredients

• 1 cup honey
• 1 teaspoon almond extract
• 4 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon butter
• ½ cup chopped rhubarb
• 1 tablespoon milk, or as needed
• 1 cup fresh gooseberries
• 1 (15 ounce) package pie dough for a double-crust pie
• 1 cup chopped apple
• ½ cup whole-berry cranberry sauce
• 2 pinches white sugar, or to taste

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Line a 9-inch pie pan with 1 pie crust.

Step 2

Stir apple, gooseberries, honey, rhubarb, cranberry sauce, flour, and almond extract together in a bowl. Add to the empty pie shell. Dot with butter and cover with remaining pie crust. Cut slits in the top, brush with milk, and sprinkle with sugar.

Step 3

Bake in the preheated oven until bubbling and brown, 40 to 45 minutes. Cover the pie with foil during the last 10 minutes of baking time if it becomes too brown.
