Aunt Sadies Raspberry Pie Recipes

SUNNY'S EASY RASPBERRY BROOKIE PIE

Steps:

• For the filling: Combine the raspberries, lemon zest, lemon juice, sugar, cornstarch and 1 tablespoon water in a small saucepot on medium heat. Bring to a simmer, stirring, and cook until thick and reduced, 5 to 10 minutes. Set aside and let cool for 10 minutes.
• For the base: Preheat the oven or a grill to 350 degrees F. Spray the bottom and sides of a 9-inch cast-iron pan, pie pan or 8-inch square baking pan.
• Prepare the brownie batter according to the box instructions. Pour half of the brownie batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly. Pour over the raspberry filling (you may not need it all), then add the remaining brownie batter. Break off little knobs of the cookie dough and place in splotches around the top of the pie. Bake or grill until the top is golden and a toothpick poked in the center doesn't come out wet with brownie batter, 20 to 25 minutes. Let cool slightly, then cut or scoop out and serve with ice cream, if desired.

MAGGIE'S FRESH RASPBERRY PIE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C).
• Line an unpricked pastry shell with a double thickness of heavy-duty aluminum foil.
• Bake the pastry shell in the preheated oven for 8 minutes. Remove foil; bake 5 minutes longer. Cool on a wire rack.
• Place the sugar, cornstarch, and water in a saucepan. Cook over medium heat until the sugar and cornstarch dissolve and the mixture thickens, about 10 minutes. Remove from heat and whisk in the raspberry flavored gelatin mix. Refrigerate the filling until slightly cooled, about 15 minutes.
• Arrange the raspberries evenly in the bottom of the prepared pie crust. Pour the raspberry gelatin mixture over the berries. Chill the pie in the refrigerator until set, 4 to 6 hours. Garnish with whipped cream to serve.

FROZEN RASPBERRY PIE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F Coat a 9-inch pie pan with cooking spray.
• To prepare crust: Process 32 wafers, confectioners' sugar, oil, milk and butter in a food processor until finely ground. Press the mixture into the bottom and up the sides of the prepared pan, creating an even, dense crust. Bake for 12 minutes. Cool on a wire rack to room temperature, about 1 hour, pressing any puffed parts of the crust back into the pan.
• To prepare filling: Meanwhile, puree raspberries, lemon juice and salt in a blender or food processor until smooth. Strain through a fine-mesh sieve into a medium bowl, pressing with a rubber spatula to extract the juice; discard seeds.
• Bring 1 inch of water to a slow simmer in a large saucepan. Combine egg whites, granulated sugar and cream of tartar in a 3-quart stainless-steel bowl. Beat with an electric mixer on medium speed until foamy. Set the bowl over the simmering water and continue to beat on medium speed, moving the mixer around, until the mixture is glossy and thick, about 3 1/2 minutes. Increase the speed to high, and continue beating over the simmering water until very stiff and glossy, about 3 1/2 minutes more (the eggs will be at a safe temperature, 160°F, at this point). Remove from the heat (be careful of the escaping steam) and continue beating on medium speed until room temperature, 3 to 5 minutes.
• Fold the raspberry puree into the meringue until combined. Pour the raspberry filling into the pie crust; crumble the remaining chocolate wafer over the top. Place the pie on a level surface in your freezer and freeze until solid, at least 6 hours. To serve, let the pie stand at room temperature until softened slightly, about 10 minutes, before slicing.

AUNT SADIE'S RASPBERRY PIE

Steps:

• Crust.
• Combine flour, sugar, salt. Cut in shortening and butter. Beat together water, egg and vinegar. Add to flour/shortening/butter mixture and mix until dough forms. Separate into four balls. Use two for this pie and freeze the rest for another time.
• Filling.
• Bring raspberries, water, sugar, lemon juice and tapioca to a boil. Add 1/2 tsp almond extract and remove from heat.
• Pie.
• Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Roll one ball of dough into a round circle large enough to fit your pie plate. Line the pie pan. Pour/ladle filling into crust lined pie plate until it is almost full. (You may have more filling than you need depending upon the size of your pie plate.) Roll the second ball of dough into another circle. Place on top of pie and seal edges. You may also lattice the top. Bake at 425 degrees for 15 minutes and then 350 degrees for 45 minutes.
