Raspberry Pie

Okay, so let's get down to the nitty gritty.  How do you make a raspberry pie?  Well, I found an awesome recipe at Allrecipes.com.  Here's the link but I will give you the ingredients and directions in this post:  http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/Raspberry-Pie-II/Detail.aspx  I've changed a couple things about the recipe but if you want the original recipe please go to the link! 

Ingredients:

Pie crust (see my post entitled "The Importance of Crust"
2 1/2 cups of raspberries (to save money buy them frozen but allow them to thaw for about 30 minutes)
1/2 cup of packed brown sugar
1 tablespoon of cornstarch
1 tablespoon of butter
1 egg white

Directions:

Preheat oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C)
Line a 9 inch pie plate with crust and brush with egg white.  Arrange the berries in the crust.
Combine sugar and cornstarch and sprinkle the mixture over the berries.  Dot the mixture with the butter.
Cover with the upper crust (I prefer to cover in strips of criss-crossed dough not a full, flat crust). 
Bake for 10 minutes at 450 degrees and then reduce heat to 400 degrees and continue baking for 30 minutes or until crust is golden brown.

Serve with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream and enjoy!
