Homemade razzleberry pie is a delicious triple berry pie filled with raspberries, blackberries, and marionberries within a buttery and flaky pie crust.
If you've never had razzleberry pie, you are in for a treat.
Not only is it super easy to make, but it's delicious when served warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
Ingredients
Berries- raspberries, blackberries, and marionberries (marionberries optional- can substitute wild blueberries); fresh or frozen
Sugar- granulated sugar
Flour- all-purpose flour
Butter- salted
Salt- regular table salt, not coarse
Shortening- regular or butter-flavored
Vinegar- white vinegar
Egg- for brushing onto crust to make it shiny and golden
Instructions
Prepare the pie crust dough first.
Combine the flour and salt until evenly mixed, then use a fork or pastry cutter to combine the shortening until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
To the crumbs, add the vinegar and cold water and knead until a smooth ball of dough has formed.
Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and allow the dough to rest in the refrigerator while you prepare the pie filling.
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
If you are using frozen berries, rinse them in cool water in a strainer.
Drain excess moisture off and scatter onto paper towels, patting them dry to remove remaining water.
This will ensure that the filling doesn't have too much moisture.
Add the berries to a bowl, along with the flour and sugar. Stir lightly.
Sprinkle in the flour and toss gently until the berries are evenly coated. Set berries aside.
Remove the pie crust dough from the plastic wrap and divide it into two portions, one slightly larger than the other because it will be the bottom of the pie crust.
On a floured surface, roll out the larger portion of dough into a circular shape until roughly ⅛th inch thick.
Repeat with the remaining smaller portion of dough and reserve for the top pie crust.
Carefully transfer the larger rolled-out dough to the pie pan.
Press down lightly with fingertips until the dough fits snugly in the pan.
Fill the pie crust with the triple berry mixture until just below the edge of the pie pan.
Top with the other rolled-out pie dough, trim the edges and pinch completely around to seal them.
Poke holes with a fork or knife to allow steam to escape.
Brush with a beaten egg for a glossy, golden finish once the razzleberry pie is baked.
Bake the razzleberry pie at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for approximately 35 minutes until the crust is golden and filling just begins to escape.
Cool slightly before serving.
The razzleberry pie is best served warm with vanilla ice cream but is also delicious served alone, at any temperature.
