Bumbleberry Pie

Ingredients:

Pie Crust (makes 4 single crusts, use 2 for this pie):
  • 4 cups all purpose flour
  • 3/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 1 3/4 cups cold unsalted butter (3 1/2 sticks), diced
  • 1 tablespoon white vinegar
  • 1 extra large egg
Bumbleberry Filling:
  • 1 cup rhubarb, chopped
  • 1 cup strawberries, sliced
  • 1 cup blueberries
  • 1 cup raspberries
  • 1 cup peeled, chopped Granny Smith apples
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 cup white sugar
  • 1/3 cup all purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon tapioca
  • 1 egg yolk, beaten
  • 2 tablespoons water
Directions:
  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
  2. Combine the flour, salt, and sugar in a large bowl.  Cut in the butter using a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse meal.  Whisk the vinegar, egg, and 1/2 cup of ice water together and mix into the flour mixture with your hands until just combined.  Transfer to a clean work surface, and gently press to form a dough.  Divide the dough into 4 equal parts.  Shape each into a ball, flatten slightly to form a disk, and wrap in plastic.  Chill for at least one hour. 
  3. Roll one disk of dough out to fit a 9 inch pie plate. Place crust in pie plate. Press the dough evenly into the bottom and sides of the pie plate.
  4. In a large bowl, combine rhubarb, strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, apples, and lemon juice. Mix together 1 cup sugar, 1/3 cup flour, and tapioca; gently toss with fruit mixture. Pour fruit mixture into pastry lined pie pan.
  5. Roll out second disk of dough to fit a 9 inch pie plate.  Cut into strips and create a lattice top.  (For tips on how to make a lattice top, go here.)
  6. Brush tops with egg wash (1 egg yolk beaten with 2 tablespoons water).
  7. Bake in preheated oven for 50 to 60 minutes, or until filling is bubbly in center and top is golden brown.
