Ingredients

4 Tbsp. olive oil; juice of 1 lemon; 1 tbsp. honey
6 Ounces opaque soap, 2 ounces translucent soap, 1 tablespoon yellow cornmeal, sliver of yellow soap colorant,
10 Drops lemon essential oil

Directions

1
Preheat the oven to 425&# 194;Â°F (220ÃÂ°C).
2
In a large bowl, combine flour, salt, and sugar. Cut in cold butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
3
Gradually add ice water, one tablespoon at a time, mixing until the dough just begins to hold together.
4
Divide the dough in half, form into discs, wrap in plastic wrap, and chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
5
Roll out one disc of dough on a floured surface and carefully fit it into a 9-inch pie dish, trimming any excess overhang.
6
Peel and slice your chosen fruit (such as apples or peaches) and toss with sugar, lemon juice, and spices.
7
Pour the fruit filling into the prepared pie crust.
8
Roll out the second disc of dough and place it over the filling. Trim edges and crimp to seal.
9
Cut several slits in the top crust to allow steam to escape and brush with an egg wash or milk.
10
Bake for 45-50 minutes until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.
11
Allow the pie to cool completely on a wire rack before slicing and serving.

Note

For best results, keep all ingredients cold when making the crust to ensure a flaky texture.

If the crust edges start browning too quickly, cover them with a pie shield or aluminum foil.

This pie can be stored covered at room temperature for up to 2 days or refrigerated for up to 4 days.

You can substitute the fruit filling with any seasonal berries or stone fruits, adjusting sugar levels to taste.
