Cherry Berry Pie | Bake at 350°

Somebody round right here would slightly have fruit pie than cake for his birthday.
*coughMARKcough* 

And whereas I will at all times select cake, he is onto one thing. Pie is freaking delish! Oh, and pie is simple to make.
There is a purpose the saying goes, “Simple as PIE.” 

Cherry Berry Pie combines candy cherries, raspberries, and blackberries in a
flaky, buttery double pie crust. The raspberries and blackberries grow to be saucy
whereas the cherries keep intact. Serve it with vanilla bean ice cream for bonus
factors. Andddddd, possibly a birthday candle. 

The fruit filling a part of the pie comes collectively in about 3 minutes. (When you
do not rely
pitting the cherries.) We’re placing in just a bit extra work on the crust, however it’ll be price
it. 

How do you get a flaky pie crust? I will present you! Take a look at that flaky crust!!!

What if I do not need to/do not have time to make a pie crust?

I discover that the Pillsbury refrigerated pie crusts are fairly good. (However do not
be afraid to make your individual!)

This pie crust is one which I realized from King Arthur Flour possibly 15 years
in the past. You will use each shortening and butter within the crust. It includes a pair
of rests within the fridge and a few easy rolling and folding. Concern
not! 

Why use Crisco and butter in pie crust? 

Shortening like Crisco makes for a flaky crust, whereas butter provides taste. It is
one of the best of each worlds! 

Begin by making the crust. Lower chilly shortening into the flour/salt. 

Subsequent, pound out a stick of butter in a little bit of flour till skinny. It is fairly
therapeutic.
Additionally, possibly be certain that your important different is not on a Zoom name within the
different room whilst you’re loudly whacking the butter with a rolling
pin. 

Flake the flour-coated butter into the bowl and toss. Add ice water till the
pie dough comes collectively. Type right into a disc and chill. 

After it has chilled, you may roll right into a rectangle; no should be exact.
Fold into thirds lengthwise like a letter. Then, fold into thirds once more, into
a sq.. Chill. 

Are you able to see the lengthy flakes of butter?!?

Now, you are able to make the pie. Divide the dough in half (I really like a
bench scraper
for this), and roll one piece bigger than your pie plate. Place inside and
trim extra. Brush with egg white. 

Why brush the within of pie crust with egg white?

When making a fruit pie, brushing the underside crust with egg white helps preserve
the fruit juice from seeping into the crust. Brushing the crust with egg bites
means avoiding soggy bottoms! 

Let’s check out the flaky goodness. 

Now, toss fruit with tapioca starch, sugar, and salt. Pour into the
pastry-lined pan. Dot with butter.

Roll out the remaining pie dough. Lower into strips and make a lattice prime.
Alternatively, you possibly can place your complete crust on prime and lower out ornamental
vents. Brush with remaining egg white. 

Bake! The pie shall be effervescent while you take away it from the oven. Let cool
till simply heat or room temp. Serve with vanilla bean ice cream.
