I Made That! Dried Fruit Pie

Dried fruit pie. It doesn't sound too appetizing. But it's a true holiday treat, best served with vanilla ice cream or a vanilla sauce.

We're Bruce Weinstein & Mark Scarbrough. We developed this recipe for our compendium cookbook, THE ULTIMATE COOKBOOK, which you can find here.

Inspired by the rich fruity sweetness of mincemeat but without the suet (or beef fat), our version uses a ton of dried fruit, a smattering of winter spices, and the flakiest crust you've ever tasted.

It's a lot easier than it sounds and this recipe will become your family's favorite for years to come.

Cooking with Bruce and Mark
Fantastic recipes, culinary science, a little judgment, hysterical banter, love and laughs--you know, life.
Join us, Bruce Weinstein and Mark Scarbrough, for weekly episodes all about food, cooking, recipes, and maybe a little marital strife on air. After writing thirty-six cookbooks, we've got countless opinions and ideas on ingredients, recipes, the nature of the cookbook-writing business, and much more. If you've got a passion for food, we also hope to up your game once and a while and to make you laugh most of the time. Come along for the ride! There's plenty of room!
