  3. In small bowl, whisk together egg and milk
  4. Fill bottom crust with fruit mixture and top decoratively with pastry flowers and leaves, overlapping slightly. Brush with egg mixture and sprinkle with cinnamon sugar. Bake in a 400°F (205°C) oven for 25 min. Reduce heat to 350°F (176°C) and bake just until curst is golden and juices are bubbling, about 30 minutes. Allow pie to cool for at least one hour before slicing.
