Sonkers are juicy, deep-dish, rectangular pies, specific to Surry County, North Carolina. They’re often topped with a “dip,” a glaze made from thickened sweetened condensed milk. Golden Delicious apples and black plums provide the fruity filling In our sonker recipe. While it cooks, the fruit filling bubbles up between the piecrust lattice strips, making this summertime treat look as good as it tastes.

Tip: If you use pre-rolled, store-bought pie pastry, piece it together to make a rectangle. Use the scraps for the lattice.

Use 5 cups blackberries instead of plums. Use white sugar instead of brown. Serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
