Ingredients
- 1recipe Middlebury pie crust
- 3tablespoons flour
- 1cup sugar, plus 1 tablespoon for sprinkling
- 1rounded tablespoon instant tapioca
- 5cups frozen raspberries, barely thawed
- 1tablespoon heavy cream
Preparation
- Step 1
Preheat the oven to 450 degrees. Roll out 1 dough round between 2 sheets of wax paper and line a 9-inch pie pan with it. Prick the bottom and sides, trim the sides to a -inch overhang and chill for 30 minutes.
- Step 2
Combine the flour, 1 cup of sugar and the tapioca and, using a fork, combine with the raspberries, leaving as many frozen clumps as possible. Pour this mixture into the pie shell. Roll out the other round between sheets of wax paper, cut a decorative vent in it and lay it over the fruit. Crimp the edges together firmly and flute.
- Step 3
Brush the top of the pie with the cream and sprinkle with the remaining tablespoon of sugar. Bake for 10 minutes. Lower the heat to 400 and bake for 30 to 35 more minutes, or until the berries in the middle of the pie are visibly bubbling.

Partway through cooking, the edges were getting very dark so I covered them with tin foil and kept going. Even giving it an extra 10 minutes (55 total) the center and bottom crust were still raw and the edges are now coffee-colored. I’m thinking the berries being frozen is the problem...quite disappointing. (Fwiw I used a glass pie pan, and followed the temperature instructions exactly.)
Cover the edges with tin foil from the start and give it extra cooking time.
this worked out perfectly and with melissa clarke's butter pie crust recipe. PERFECTION!
