• 3. Line a 9-inch pie plate with one crust and prick all over with a fork. Brush the bottom with the egg white mixture to prevent sogginess. Spoon the berry mixture into the crust.
• 4. Cover the filling with a top crust. Trim the overhang to 1 inch. With water, moisten the crusts where they meet, then press them together lightly and turn under. Crimp the edges decoratively. Brush the top crust lightly all over with water and sprinkle evenly with the remaining tablespoon of sugar.

• Toss berries with sugar and tapioca in large bowl. Let stand 15 min.
• Line 9-inch pie plate with 1 crust as directed on package for two-crust pie; fill with berry mixture. Dot with butter.
• Cut second pie crust into 10 (1/2-inch-wide) strips with pastry wheel or knife. Place 5 of the strips over filling. Weave lattice crust with remaining strips by folding back alternate strips as each cross-strip is added. Fold trimmed edge of lower crust over ends of strips. Seal and flute edge.
• Bake 45 to 50 min. or until juices form bubbles that burst slowly. Cool.

BLUEBERRY RASPBERRY LATTICE PIE

Steps:

• Heat oven to 425°F. In medium bowl, cut shortening into flour and salt, using pastry blender or crisscrossing 2 knives, until particles are size of small peas. Sprinkle with cold water, 1 tablespoon at a time, tossing with fork until all flour is moistened and pastry almost cleans side of bowl (1 to 2 teaspoons more water can be added if necessary).
• Gather pastry into a ball. Divide pastry in half and shape into two flattened rounds on lightly floured surface. Roll pastry into circle 2 inches larger than upside-down 9-inch pie plate with floured rolling pin. Fold pastry into fourths; place in pie plate. Unfold and ease into plate, pressing firmly against bottom and side.
• In large bowl, mix sugar, cornstarch and cinnamon. Gently stir in blueberries and raspberries. Spoon berry mixture into pastry-lined pie plate. Sprinkle with lemon juice. Cut butter into small pieces; sprinkle over berry mixture.
• Roll second round of pastry; cut into strips 1/2 to 1 inch wide. (Use a pastry wheel for decorative strips.) Place 5 to 7 strips across filling in pie plate. Weave a cross-strip through center by first folding back every other strip going the other way. Continue weaving until lattice is complete, folding back alternate strips each time cross-strip is added. (To save time, do not weave strips. Simply lay second half of strips across first strips.) Trim ends of strips. Fold trimmed edge of bottom pastry over ends of strips, building up a high edge. Seal and flute.
• Cover lattice top with aluminum foil to prevent excessive browning; remove foil for last 10 minutes of baking. Bake 50 to 60 minutes or until crust is golden brown and juice begins to bubble through lattice crust.

Stir just until dough comes together. Gather dough into ball and divide into 2 pieces. Flatten each into disk. Wrap dough in plastic and refrigerate 2 hours. (Can be made 1 day ahead. Keep refrigerated. Let dough soften slightly at room temperature before continuing.)
• Preheat oven to 375°F. Spray 9-inch-diameter glass pie dish with nonstick spray. Roll out 1 dough disk on lightly floured surface to 12- to 13-inch round. Line prepared pie dish with dough. Roll out remaining disk on lightly floured surface to 12- to 13-inch round.
• Mix raspberries, blueberries, 1 cup sugar, tapioca, and crème de cassis in large bowl. Spoon berry mixture into crust-lined pie dish. Top with second crust, trimming excess dough. Crimp edges together. Cut 3/4-inch hole in center of top crust.
• Whisk egg and milk in small bowl to blend. Brush some of mixture over crust. Sprinkle with raw sugar. Bake pie 15 minutes; reduce heat to 350°F. Continue baking until crust browns and juices bubble thickly (cover crust with foil after 30 minutes to prevent overbrowning), about 1 hour.
• Cool about 2 hours. (Pie can be made 6 hours ahead. Let stand at room temperature.) Cut pie into wedges and serve warm or at room temperature with ice cream.
