What is rustic pie?
If the rustic pie is so popular on networks like Pinterest and Instagram, it is above all for its extremely simple approach to pie making. In fact, to make it, you no longer need a mold, a simple homemade dough – or already ready – and a filling are enough. Simply placed on the work surface, the dough, whether broken, shortbread, or puff pastry, accommodates a pretty filling at its heart, before folding down the edges and putting everything into cooking.
The advantage of a rustic pie is that it accommodates all flavors, savory and sweet. If it is popular during sunny days in its fruity version based on red fruits, plums, or even apricots, it is also perfect with apples and pears, and works wonders with tomatoes or leeks.
Mistakes to avoid to make a rustic pie
The one and only thing to remember when preparing this recipe is that the filling must not be too liquid, otherwise you will have some difficulties during the final assembly. This is why you should avoid creamy or egg-based fillings which will not stay in place when filling. Yes, there is no mold! That being said, you can add a mascarpone base to a fruit tart to add creaminess. The idea being that you should avoid toppings that can “melt” during cooking. And to better waterproof the dough and absorb the juice, we also think about adding a base of almond powder for fruits that disgorge like strawberries. Simple culinary tips that save you from many disasters!
With vegetables, fruit, with an almond cream base, or decorated with herbs or oilseeds, here are 30 ideas for rustic tarts gleaned from Pinterest to reproduce urgently.
