Servings: 8
Ingredients
- 1 recipe Papa's Pie Crust (Makes two 9-inch crusts)
- 1 c. granulated sugar
- 1/4 c. brown sugar firmly packed
- 1 tsp. ground cinnamon
- 4 T. quick-cooking tapioca
- 6 c. fresh huckleberries washed and drained
- 1 T. fresh squeezed lemon juice
- 2 T. butter cut into small pieces
- 1 T. granulated sugar for top
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Prepare Papa's Pie Crust recipe according to directions. Roll out one pastry 2-inches larger than an inverted pie plate. Fold pastry into quarter folds and ease into pie plate, pressing firmly against bottom and side, trim overhanging edge of pastry 1/2 inch from rim of plate; set aside.
- In a large bowl, combine 1 cup sugar, brown sugar, cinnamon, and tapioca. Gently fold in the huckleberries and lemon juice; let the mixture sit for 15 minutes. Spoon huckleberry mixture into the pastry-lined plate, dot with butter.
- Roll out the second pastry and place over the filling. Trim overhanging edge of pastry 1-inch from the rim of the plate. Fold and roll top edge under lower edge, pressing on rim to seal; flute. Cut slits so steam can escape. Alternately, make a lattice top. Sprinkle 1 tablespoon sugar onto the top of the pie crust. Cover the edge of the crust with aluminum foil to prevent excessive browning.
- Bake for 35 to 40 minutes or until crust is golden brown and juice begins to bubble through slits in the top crust. Remove aluminum foil during the last 15 minutes of baking. Remove from oven and cool on a wire rack before cutting and servings. Serve warm or at room temperature.
