This pie is going to be dictated by the season for the berries, if you are using fresh. Using frozen raspberries though won't hurt.

If you know me, you know I love my pies. This Amish Pie Crust is my favorite buttery crust to make. It's easy peasy.

What makes this recipe so yummy

• It's literally a handful of ingredients. Bar the raspberries which you'll probably need to make an effort to go get, everything else is pantry staples.
• Who doesn't like a nice slice of warm pie with a dollop of vanilla ice cream?
• The raspberry pie filling is really easy to make with just a few steps and has great flavor.

Groceries you'll need: Ingredients

• Amish Pie Crust
• Fresh Raspberries
• Granulated Sugar
• Cornstarch
• Lemon Juice

See recipe card at the bottom of this post for quantities.

Recipe walkthrough: Instructions

This is an overview of the recipe steps. For more detailed instructions visit the recipe card at the bottom of this post.

• Step 1: Pour lemon juice over the raspberries.
• Step 2: Add the sugar and cornstarch to a ziplock bag and shake to mix.
• Step 3: Add the raspberries to the bag and shake to evenly coat.
• Step 4: Line a 9" pie plate with 1 pie crust.

• Step 5: Fill the bottom crust with the coated raspberries.
• Step 6: Add the top crust, decorating how you like. Place in the refrigerator while you heat the oven.
• Step 7: Bake until golden brown and bubbling.

Hint: You could even refrigerate the pie crust after you make it, to help keep it cool 30 mins before you prepare the raspberries. The cooler the crust is before you place in the oven, the better it will hold its shape.

Recipe variations and substitute ideas

• Salt - add a pinch if you like.
• Butter - Add a few pats of butter to the top of the raspberry filling.
• Tapioca - use this instead of cornstarch.
• Apples - make it a raspberry and apple pie.
• Whipped Cream - for serving.
• Egg Wash - brush with a beaten egg if you want your pie crust darker and sprinkle with coarse sugar.
• Berries - add a mixture of berries, like blackberries, blueberries etc.

I just use a pie dish and ziplock bag for this raspberry pie recipe. If you don't have the bag you can always mix the ingredients up in a large bowl.

How to store leftovers

Once the pie has cooled completely, wrap with plastic wrap and store in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.

This pie will actually freeze well, so store in a freezer safe container and freeze for up to 3 months.

Mel's kitchen notes

For best results serve warm (fresh from the oven) with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
