Triple Berry Pie

 Hands down the best pie. The crumble on top is so delicious. My friend made this for our Friendsgiving a couple years ago and we took the extra home and froze it to enjoy it for another day, which was eaten within that day cuz it's so good!


***This makes 2 pies. I usually make the 2 and freeze one if it's just us eating them. If you want just one, just half everything. 


INGREDIENTS

{Crust}
4 C Flour
2 C Crisco
2 tsp salt
1/2 C Sugar (heaping)
12 Tbsp Water (Chilled)

{Filling}
6-7 C Fresh mixed berries (or frozen work great too, just let them thaw out some so the pie cooks evenly.)
1/2 C Sugar (heaping)
1/3 C Tapioca Starch (I used corn starch)
2 Tbsp ground cinnamon

{Topping}
2 C Butter
4 C Sugar
4 C Flour
*If the crumble feels too dry, add a little more butter, if it feels too sticky, add more sugar and flour.


INSTRUCTIONS

{Crust}

Place flour, crisco, salt, and sugar in a large mixing bowl. Mix together.
Add the water. Mix together with a pastry knife.
Roll out. (or just smash into pie pans, that's what I always do.)
Place dough in two pie dishes and let them chill in the fridge.

{Filling}

Wash berries under cold water, or get frozen ones out to thaw.
Place berries, sugar, tapioca (or corn starch) and cinnamon in a large mixing bowl.
Gently toss together with your hands. Set aside.

{Topping}

Place flour, sugar, and softened butter into a large mixing bowl. 
Mix together with a pastry knife until it starts to crumble.
*The crumble is delicious and too much isn't a bad thing! Let it mountain on top of the pie in a big heap. You'll thank me later. :)
Set aside.

{Assembling the Pie}

Remove the crust from fridge and brush 1/2 of an egg white over the crust (helps your pie crust not to get soggy).
Place the filling into the pie.
Cover with the crumble topping over the filling.

{Baking the Pie}

Place in the oven at 375 degrees for 20-30 minutes or until your crust and topping are lightly brown.
Serve and Enjoy.
