Best My Moms Raspberry Pie Filling Recipes

RASPBERRY PIE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
• In a large bowl, gently toss together the raspberries, sugar, flour, lemon juice and nutmeg. Set aside.
• Roll out half of the pastry and fit it inside a 9 inch pie plate, trimming off the excess pastry.
• Place the raspberry mixture inside the pie crust.
• Lightly wet the edge of the crust with a bit of water.
• Roll out the other half of the pastry and set it over top of the berries, or cut it into one inch strips and weave the strips into a lattice top over the berries.
• Crimp the edges to seal them. If you are using a full crust, cut slits in the top to vent the pie.
• Whisk together the egg and water and brush it lightly over top of the pastry.
• Sprinkle with a bit of extra sugar.
• Place the pie on a baking sheet in case it bubbles over.
• Bake for 15 minutes, then REDUCE THE HEAT to 375 degrees F and continue baking for another 35-40 minutes or until the crust is lightly browned and the filling is bubbling.
• If the pastry is getting too brown and the filling isn't bubbling yet, tent some foil over top to prevent more browning.
• Allow the pie to cool completely before slicing so that the filling will firm up.
