Fruit and berry pie

30 minutes
Fruit-berry pie is a delicate treat of Russian cuisine, combining airy texture and sweet fruity flavor. Its roots go back to traditional home recipes where each housewife added her favorite berries and fruits. The pie's base is soft and slightly crumbly due to margarine and flour, while apples add freshness and a light tartness, nicely complemented by a layer of jam. The finishing touch is a fluffy meringue cap that turns into a tender cloud with a caramel crust after baking. This pie is perfect for cozy family tea gatherings, where it becomes a true table decoration, and its aroma evokes warm memories of home comfort.
