DEEP DISH PERSIMMON PIE

Steps:

• Preheat an oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
• Combine brown sugar, cinnamon, cornstarch, and sea salt in a small bowl. Spread half of the persimmons into an 8-inch deep pie plate. Sprinkle with half of the the sugar mixture.

FUYU PERSIMMON PIE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
• Melt butter in a saucepan. Stir in flour to form a paste. Add white sugar, brown sugar, lemon juice, and cinnamon; bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer until sugar is dissolved.
• Line a 9-inch pie plate with 1 crust. Fill with sliced persimmons, mounding them slightly in the center. Pour sugar-butter mixture over the persimmons.
• Sprinkle cinnamon sugar over the second pie crust. Cut into strips. Make an X with the 2 longest strips in the center of the pie. Alternate horizontal and vertical strips, weaving them in an over-and-under pattern. Use the shortest strips for the edges of the lattice.
• Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes. Reduce oven temperature to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Continue baking until crust is golden brown, about 45 minutes more. Cool pie completely on a wire rack, about 2 hours.
