Persimmon is the most underrated fall fruit—it’s a little bit tangy, a little bit spicy, and sweet all at the same time. “Most persimmon pies are made as a custard pie with persimmon pulp,” says Allrecipes member Amanda123. “This one is made with sliced firm fruit and the delicious fall flavors of cinnamon and brown sugar.”
