Instructions

Step 1: Make the Crust

1. In a food processor, combine the flour, butter, sugar, and salt. Pulse until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
2. Add the ice water, one tablespoon at a time, and pulse until the dough comes together.
3. Form the dough into a ball, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
4. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). On a floured surface, roll out the dough into a 12-inch circle.
5. Transfer the dough to a 9-inch pie dish, trim the edges, and crimp the edges as desired.
6. Prick the bottom of the crust with a fork and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until lightly golden. Set aside to cool.

Step 2: Make the Filling

1. In a large bowl, combine the raisins, dried cranberries, dried apricots, and candied peel. Set aside.
2. In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the brown sugar, flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and allspice. Cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring constantly.
3. Remove the pan from the heat and let cool for 5 minutes.
4. Add the eggs, one at a time, to the butter mixture, stirring well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
5. Pour the mixture over the dried fruit and stir until well combined.
6. Spoon the filling into the cooled crust and smooth the top.
7. Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the filling is set and the crust is golden brown.
8. Let cool completely before serving.

Step 3: Make the Topping

1. In a mixing bowl, beat the heavy cream, confectioners' sugar, and vanilla extract until stiff peaks form.
2. Spoon or pipe the whipped cream over the top of the cooled pie.
3. Garnish with additional dried fruit or candied peel, if desired.
