Deep Dish Berry Pie Traditional And Gluten Free Food

DEEP DISH BERRY PIE {TRADITIONAL AND GLUTEN FREE RECIPES}

Steps:

• In a food processor fitted with a metal blade, combine all of the pie crust ingredients EXCEPT the water. Pulse until the mixture resembles course cornmeal.
• Add the water and pulse a few more times, until the dough just barely comes together. Shape the dough into a small flat disk and wrap in plastic wrap. Chill at least 30 minutes.
• Preheat oven to 450°F. Combine all of the filling ingredients in a deep pie plate or 9" round baking pan and toss lightly to coat thoroughly.
• Unwrap the chilled dough and roll out on a lightly floured surface, to about 1/8" thickness. Cut the dough into 1/2" strips and arrange over the berries in a simple lattice pattern. (See above photo for directions.)
• Bake 15 minutes at 450 degrees, reduce the heat to 350 degrees and bake until top is golden brown, about 45 minutes. Serve warm with ice cream or whipped cream. Enjoy!

TRIPLE BERRY PIE

Steps:

• Cook berries: Add berries, sugar and lemon juice to a large saucepan over medium heat.
• Simmer, until warm and juicy, about 5-10 minutes, gently stirring occasionally. (You can taste it at this point and see if it's sweet enough for your liking. I don't like to make mine too sweet, but if you want it sweeter you can add 1/4 cup more sugar.)
• Thicken filling: Spoon out about 1/2 cup of the juice from the pan into a bowl. Stir cornstarch into the juice until smooth.
• Bring pot of berries back to a simmer and slowly pour in the cornstarch. Gently stir mixture (being careful not to mash the berries), until thickened, about 2-5 minutes.
• Cool and add to pie shell. Remove from heat and stir in the butter. Allow to cool for 15 minutes. Pour mixture into unbaked pie shell (in a 9 in deep dish pan).
• Add lattice top or a whole top with holes pricked on top for steam to escape. (See directions for lattice crust below).
• Pinch the edges of the top and bottom pie crusts together and crimp the edge, if you like. Brush a thin layer of beaten egg white over the top of the pie and sprinkle lightly with sugar.
• Bake at 400 degrees F for 40-45 minutes. Check it after about 25 minutes and place a piece of tinfoil over it if the top crust is getting too brown.
• Remove to a wire cooling rack and allow to cool for several hours. Once cooled completely, you can cut into it or cover it and refrigerate it overnight to serve the next day.

DEEP DISH BLUEBERRY PIE

Steps:

• To make the crust: Combine flour and salt in a large bowl. Add butter and shortening pieces and mix until the pastry clumps together the size of hazelnuts. Add the water a little at a time until the mixture just holds together. Do not overmix. Remove dough to a floured board. Shape the mass into a disk, wrap with plastic and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
• Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
• To make the filling: Combine all ingredients except the butter in a large bowl. Transfer mixture to a 9 by 2 inch deep- dish pie pan. Dot with the butter. Roll the dough out to 1-inch larger than the baking dish. Top berries in casserole with the dough. Flute the edges of the dough and cut several slits in the dough to allow steam to escape. Brush with the eggwash.
• Bake the pie on a parchment covered sheet pan for 10 minutes, lower the heat to 375 degrees and cook and additional 40 to 50 minutes, or until crust is browned. Let cool slightly, serve warm or room temperature.

GLUTEN FREE MIXED BERRY PIE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425º F.
• Add your dry pie crust ingredients to a bowl. Whisk to blend them. Add in your cold butter and use a pastry blender to cut the butter into the dough. You can also use a food processor to do this, but be careful if you use it to not over grind in your butter. You want your mixture to resemble crumbs.
• Pour in the wet ingredients and mix to form a dough. I know it is messy, but I do this step by hand to really mix it in. Mixing with a spoon can be misleading because the dough looks dry. Mixing with your hands incorporates the moisture better.
• Place half of the dough on a piece of wax paper dusted with a little gluten free flour. Cover with another piece of wax paper and roll to 1/4 inch thickness.
• Remove the top piece of wax paper and place the dough side down over a greased pie tin. Peel off the remaining wax paper.
• Press the dough into the pie tin and using fingers on both hands, pinch the dough around the edges.
• Add your washed berries to a large bowl. Be sure to pat them dry gently to remove extra moisture.
• In a small bowl, add the sugar and tapioca starch. Mix well.
• Pour the sugar starch mix over the fruit and mix well to coat all of the berries. Sprinkle the lemon juice over the fruit and mix.
• Gently pour the fruit into the bottom crust. Spread it out so that it is evenly placed.
• Roll out the remaining pie crust dough on wax paper. Roll to 1/4 inch thickness. From here you can place it over your pie completely, or, use cookie cutters to cut out shapes in the dough.
• If you are using the crust whole, be sure to poke a few holes in the top of the crust for steam to vent out. If you are using shapes as I did, you can choose how much of your pie to cover.
• Brush egg wash over the top of the pie crust.
• Cover the pie with foil and bake the pie for 10 minutes at 425º F. Reduce the baking temperature to 375º F, remove the foil, and bake for 35 additional minutes.

• Melt chocolate chips in a saucepan over medium-low heat, stirring constantly, 1 to 3 minutes. Paint melted chocolate in the bottom and inside of cooled pie crust. Place chocolate-painted crust in freezer to harden the chocolate, about 30 minutes.
• Place the prettiest strawberry, cut-side down, in the center of the chocolate crust. Arrange as many attractive strawberries as possible around the center strawberry, so they appear as circles around the center.
• Mash the remaining strawberries in a bowl; transfer to a saucepan. Add sugar and lemon juice; bring to a boil, stirring frequently.
• Whisk ginger ale and cornstarch together in a bowl until smooth; gradually stir into boiling strawberry mixture. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer, stirring constantly, until thickened, 12 to 14 minutes. Remove from heat and cool for about 5 minutes.
• Spoon strawberry sauce over strawberries in pie shell. Chill in refrigerator until pie is set, at least 8 hours.

DEEP-DISH PEACH AND BERRY PIE
