Bumbleberry Pie

Bumbleberry pie is one of my favorite pies to make; especially this time of year after I’ve picked and frozen all sorts of delicious fruits throughout the Spring, Summer and Fall.

Now, if you don’t know what a Bumbleberry is…don’t feel too bad. It’s actually a made-up word to describe a random mix of berries {ones you might “bumble” upon}. The best part about making delicious Bumbleberry mixtures is that you can use whatever berries or fruit you have on hand — even frozen fruit! {You can’t get much easier than that}

I love making pies, but I really LOVE making lattice-crust pies. It only takes a few extra minutes and it makes such a difference!
For an extra-special presentation, remember to start the second “layer” of lattice on a 45-degree angle.

Then crimp the edges to seal in all the delicousness!

Yuuummm!

Ingredients:

{print recipe}

• Double pie crust (I use store bought but feel free to make your own from scratch)
• 2 c. tart apples – peeled, cored and chopped
• 1 c. chopped rhubarb
• 1 c. sliced strawberries
• 1 c. blueberries
• 1 c. raspberries
• 1 T. lemon juice
• 1 c. sugar
• 1/3 c. all-purpose flour
• 1 T. tapioca
• 1 egg yolk, beaten
• 1 tablespoons water

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
2. In a large bowl, combine all fruit and lemon juice. (You might want to drain it if you’re using frozen fruit)
3. Mix together sugar, flour, and tapioca; gently toss with fruit mixture.
4. Scoop fruit mixture into a 9″ pie plate lined with 1 crust; top with 2nd crust or lattice.
5. Brush tops with egg wash (1 egg yolk beaten with 2 tablespoons water).
6. Cut a few slits in the top to allow steam to vent.
7. Bake in preheated oven for 50 minutes, or until filling is bubbly in center and top is golden brown.

I’m telling you, it’s nearly impossible to mess up (unless your frozen fruit  it too juicy) — and did I mention the taste? The mix of tart apples and rhubarb paired with sweet berries is the perfect combination.

Give it a try — I dare ya!
