Dewberry Pie Recipes

WILD BLACKBERRY OR DEWBERRY PIE

Steps:

• Heat oven to 425 degrees.
• Prepare pastry.
• In a large mixing bowl, add the blackberries and sugar & cinnamon; toss to coat. Next add the cornstarch & lightly mix. Place filling into pastry lined pie pan. Sprinkle lemon juice over filling & dot with butter.
• Cover the filling with the top pie crust. Trim the excess crust off around the pie and seal. Cut slits in top of pie crust. Bake 50-60 minutes or until crust is golden brown & juice begins to bubble through the slits in crust. Cool completely before slicing.

DEWBERRY PIE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450 degrees F.
• Line 9" pie pan with half the pastry.
• Combine berries, sugar, flour and lemon juice (being careful not to mash berries).
• Spoon berry mixture into pie shell, and dot with butter.
• Cover with top crust and slash in several places to allow steam to escape. (I usually brush top crust with a slightly beaten egg white).
• Bake at 450 degrees for 15 minutes. Reduce heat to 350 degrees and continue baking for 30 to 40 minutes, or until browned.

BERRY CRUMBLE PIE

Steps:

• Make the crust: Pulse the flour, granulated sugar and salt in a food processor to combine. Add the shortening and pulse a few times until coarse crumbs form. Pulse in the butter until just combined with some pea-size pieces remaining. Pulse in the vinegar and 2 tablespoons ice water until the dough starts to come together but is still crumbly, adding up to 2 more tablespoons ice water if needed. Turn out the dough onto a piece of plastic wrap and pat into a disk. Wrap and refrigerate until firm, at least 1 hour or overnight.
• Meanwhile, make the topping: Combine the oats, flour, brown sugar, salt, cinnamon and allspice in a medium bowl. Work in the butter with your fingers until clumps form. Refrigerate until ready to assemble the pie.
• Make the filling: Combine the berries, granulated sugar, brown sugar, lemon juice, tapioca, cinnamon, cardamom and salt in a large bowl; toss well.
• Place a baking sheet on the lowest oven rack and preheat to 425 degrees F. Roll out the dough into a 12-inch round on a lightly floured surface; ease into a 9-inch pie plate and crimp the edge. Refrigerate until firm, at least 20 minutes.
• Pour the berry filling into the crust and sprinkle evenly with the crumb topping. Transfer the pie to the hot baking sheet and bake 20 minutes. Reduce the oven temperature to 375 degrees F and continue baking, rotating the pie halfway through, until the crust and topping are browned and the filling is bubbling, 35 to 40 more minutes. (Tent loosely with foil if the pie is browning too quickly.) Transfer to a rack and let cool completely.

BERRY CUSTARD PIE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• In a medium bowl beat together the egg, sugar and salt until the mixture becomes pale. Slowly beat in the milk and vanilla.
• Cover bottom of the pie crust with the berries. Pour the egg mixture over the top, bake until center is set, about 40 to 45 minutes. Remove from oven and cool to room temperature before serving.

ELDERBERRY PIE II

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
• Mix cornstarch in a little bit of water and add to berries and sugar. Cook, stirring constantly until desired thickness. Add more cornstarch if not thick enough. Add lemon juice.
• Pour into bottom crust. Dot with butter. Put on top crust or make a lattice.
• Bake at 375 degrees F (190 degrees C) until browned and berries are bubbling through holes in the crust, approximately 40 minutes.
• Note: It is a good idea to put a pan or foil under the pie as it bakes since it might bubble over.

EASY FRESH STRAWBERRY PIE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450°. Unroll crust into a 9-in. pie plate. Trim edge. Line unpricked crust with a double thickness of heavy-duty foil or parchment. Bake 8 minutes. Remove foil; bake 5 minutes longer. Cool on a wire rack., In a small saucepan, combine the sugar, cornstarch and water until smooth. Bring to a boil; cook and stir until thickened, about 2 minutes. Remove from the heat; stir in gelatin until dissolved. Refrigerate until slightly cooled, 15-20 minutes., Meanwhile, arrange strawberries in the crust. Pour gelatin mixture over berries. Refrigerate until set. If desired, serve with whipped cream.
