Yield Makes 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
Pinch of salt
1/2 cup (1 stick) chilled unsalted butter, cut into 1/2-inch cubes
6 tablespoons chilled solid vegetable shortening, cut into 1/2-inch cubes
1/4 cup sour cream
3 tablespoons ice water
Nonstick vegetable oil spray
3 cups fresh raspberries (about 12 ounces)
2 1/2 cups fresh blueberries (about 12 ounces)
1 cup sugar
1/3 cup tapioca
1/4 cup crème de cassis (black-currant-flavored liqueur)
1 large egg
2 tablespoons milk
2 tablespoons raw sugar*
Vanilla ice cream

Steps:

  • Whisk flour and salt in large bowl. Add butter and shortening and rub in with fingertips until pea-size pieces form. Add sour cream and 3 tablespoons ice water. Stir just until dough comes together. Gather dough into ball and divide into 2 pieces. Flatten each into disk. Wrap dough in plastic and refrigerate 2 hours. (Can be made 1 day ahead. Keep refrigerated. Let dough soften slightly at room temperature before continuing.)
  • Preheat oven to 375°F. Spray 9-inch-diameter glass pie dish with nonstick spray. Roll out 1 dough disk on lightly floured surface to 12- to 13-inch round. Line prepared pie dish with dough. Roll out remaining disk on lightly floured surface to 12- to 13-inch round.
  • Mix raspberries, blueberries, 1 cup sugar, tapioca, and crème de cassis in large bowl. Spoon berry mixture into crust-lined pie dish. Top with second crust, trimming excess dough. Crimp edges together. Cut 3/4-inch hole in center of top crust.
  • Whisk egg and milk in small bowl to blend. Brush some of mixture over crust. Sprinkle with raw sugar. Bake pie 15 minutes; reduce heat to 350°F. Continue baking until crust browns and juices bubble thickly (cover crust with foil after 30 minutes to prevent overbrowning), about 1 hour.
  • Cool about 2 hours. (Pie can be made 6 hours ahead. Let stand at room temperature.) Cut pie into wedges and serve warm or at room temperature with ice cream.
  • *Also called turbinado or demerara sugar; available at natural foods stores and most supermarkets.

This pie was a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I'll reduce the amount of sugar next time.

I'm not a big fan of berry pies, but this one is an exception. The berries are perfectly tart and sweet, and the crust is amazing.

This pie is the perfect summer dessert. The berries are so fresh and flavorful, and the crust is the perfect balance of flaky and buttery.

I've made this pie several times and it's always a crowd-pleaser. The berries are always fresh and juicy, and the crust is always flaky and delicious.

This pie was a disappointment. The berries were bland and the crust was soggy. I followed the recipe exactly, so I'm not sure what went wrong.

This pie was easy to make and turned out beautifully. The berries were plump and juicy, and the crust was golden brown and flaky. I will definitely be making this pie again.

I've never been a big fan of berry pies, but this one changed my mind. The berries were perfectly tart and sweet, and the crust was so buttery and flaky. I'll be making this pie again and again.
