Serves: 1 pie, 8-12 servings
Ingredients
  • 4 cups mostly green gooseberries, tops and tails removed
  • 2 TBS water
  • 1 ½ cups sugar (or more to taste)
  • ¼ tsp nutmeg
  • ¼ cup all purpose flour
  • Double all-butter pie crust recipe
Instructions
  1. Combine gooseberries and water and cook until most of the berries have popped and are broken down, 10-20 minutes.
  2. Add the sugar, nutmeg, and flour. Cook until it boils and simmer for 1 minute, stirring frequently for that minute. Let the mixture cool. The colder it is, the flakier your pie crust will stay.
  3. Preheat the oven to 375 F.
  4. Transfer the a pie plate lined with pie dough. Top with the top piece of pie dough, crimp the edges. Cover the edges with foil or a pie crust shield. Bake in the preheated oven for 45 minutes. Remove the foil or shield and bake for another 5-15 minutes, or until golden brown.
  5. Let the pie cool for at least 4 hours before slicing. If it is cut while it is hot, the filling will run everywhere.
Notes
Prep time does not include removing the tops and tails from the berries. You can cool the filling longer if desired to make sure your pie crust stays flakey.
