Sunday Recipe Inspiration: I only have pies for you

Wondering what to do with summer's fruit bounty? [King Arthur Four]( Sunday Recipe Inspiration Batch 296 [Hero Recipe: 7097]( I love my job for many reasons ... but the trickiness of off-season recipe testing is not one of them. Baking Christmas cookies in May and scrounging for fresh fruit for a summer dessert in the middle of December? Interesting, to say the least. That's why when summer fruit season arrives, I find every opportunity to enjoy it. My favorite way to savor fresh berries and stone fruits at their peak (along with eating them at breakfast, lunch, and dinner) is to bake them up into pies. The possibilities are endless with summer pie. You could take a cue from this [peach pie]( above for a simple and rustic approach, or from this [blueberry pie]( for a traditional double-crusted style. You can mix and match your fruits depending on what's fresh. [Strawberry-rhubarb pie]( is a classic and definitely one to squeeze in before the end of the strawberry season. I also recommend keeping this [mixed berry pie]( on regular rotation. It's a great option for when you're a little overzealous at the pick-your-own patch and in need of a quick remedy for overly ripe berries. There 's also the option of making a whole wheat crust. If you're wondering why you might want to do that, check out this [fresh raspberry pie](. The nutty flavor of the crust combined with the bold sweet, tart raspberry filling is nothing short of exceptional. Whichever options you pick, you really can't go wrong with pie!
