• Mix both sugars, tapioca, orange zest, orange juice, salt, and cinnamon, if using. Add huckleberries and one shredded apple (optional) and mix gently to combine.

• Meanwhile, cut the remaining pie crust into ¼" strips using a pastry wheel.
• After the fifteen minutes are up, pour pie filling into the prepared pie crust and dot with butter.
