Yield Makes 1 ten-inch pie

Number Of Ingredients 12

All-purpose flour, for work surface
Pate Brisee for Red Currant and Raspberry Pie
1 large egg
1 tablespoon milk
2 cups fresh red currants (about 10 ounces), stems removed
2 cups fresh raspberries (about 8 ounces
1/4 cup instant tapioca
Grated zest of 1 lemon (about 2 teaspoons)
2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice (about 1 lemon)
1 cup granulated sugar
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
Coarse sanding sugar, for sprinkling (optional)

Steps:

  • On a lightly floured work surface, roll out half the dough into a 1/8-inch-thick circle about 12 inches in diameter. Drape dough over a 10-inch pie plate; transfer to refrigerator to chill, about 30 minutes.
  • Whisk together the egg and milk to make an egg wash; set aside. In a medium bowl, mix together currants, raspberries, tapioca, lemon zest and juice, and granulated sugar. Once fruit is coated, turn out mixture into pie pan. Dot top of filling with butter.
  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Roll out remaining dough to the same size and thickness as chilled dough. Brush rim of chilled dough with egg wash; place other piece of dough on top, and trim to 1/2 inch over edge of pan. Crimp edges; place pie in freezer (about 20 minutes) or refrigerator (about 40 minutes) until firm.
  • Remove from freezer. Cut a few slits in top. Brush with egg wash, and sprinkle with sanding sugar, if desired. Bake 20 minutes. Reduce heat to 350 degrees. Continue baking until juices are bubbling and crust is golden brown, about 40 minutes more. Let cool before cutting and serving.

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