Raspberry Crumb Pie
- 1 recipe Traditional Pastry Piecrust dough for a 9-inch single-crust pie (page 5)
- 1/4 cup heavy cream (to glaze the crimped pie edges)
- Cinnamon Sugar Crumb Topping (page 12)
- 4 cups fresh raspberries
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup unbleached all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- Preheat the oven to 425F.
- To prepare the pie shell, on a clean, lightly floured work surface, roll out half a ball of dough with a rolling pin until it forms a 10-inch circle.
- Wrap the remaining half of the dough tightly in plastic wrap and reserve it in the refrigerator for future use for up to 5 days.
- Fold the circle in half, place it in a 9-inch pie plate so that the edges of the circle drop over the rim, and unfold the dough to completely cover the pie plate.
- Using your thumb and index finger, crimp the edges of the pie shell.
- Brush the edges of the pie shell with heavy cream to create a perfect, golden brown finish.
- Set the pie shell to the side while you make the filling.
- To prepare the filling, gently and thoroughly wash and dry the raspberries, then set them aside in a medium bowl.
- In a small bowl, combine the sugar, flour, and cinnamon.
- Sprinkle the sugar mixture over the raspberries, tossing them gently until they are thoroughly coated.
- Gently place the raspberries in the pie shell, taking care not to break down the berries.
- Sprinkle the Cinnamon Sugar Crumb topping over the raspberry filling, covering it completely.
- To bake, place the pie plate on a baking sheet and bake for 15 minutes.
- Reduce the heat to 375F and continue baking for 40 minutes.
- Transfer the pie plate to a wire cooling rack and allow the pie to cool and set for 1 1/2 hours before serving.
- If you choose, add a dollop of whipped cream to each slice to serve.
- Raspberry Crumb Pie is best served either at room temperature or warmed at 350F for about 10 minutes.
- It will keep at room temperature overnight and can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
