Directions

1. Step1

   Preheat oven to 325 degrees.

2. Step2

   Prepare Filling: In a large bowl, combine apples, cinnamon, sugar, and salt. Add the raspberries, strawberries, rhubarb, honey, flour, and tapioca. Gently mix together being careful not to crush the fruit; set aside.

   Hyvee Culinary Expert Tip

   You can substitute the fresh raspberries, strawberries, and rhubarb for frozen, but your pie may be a little juicier. If using frozen, add a bit more flour and minute tapioca.

3. Step3

   Prepare Double Pie Crust: In a large bowl, mix together flour and salt. Add oil and buttermilk; stir with a wooden spoon until dough forms a ball. If desired, add more buttermilk. Do not overmix.

4. Step4

   Cut 2 large pieces of wax paper and lightly flour both sides. Add half of the dough to the wax paper and roll out to ¼-inch-thick circle. Remove top layer of wax paper and flip dough into an 8-or-9-inch pie plate. Remove top layer of wax paper and tuck in extra dough around the edges to form a thick crust. Add filling to pie crust; set aside.

5. Step5

   Decorate Pie: Using two large, lightly floured pieces of wax paper, roll out second half of pie dough. Using a pizza cutter or sharp knife, cut into ½-inch strips. Create a lattice design for the top of the pie on a clean piece of wax paper. Flip lattice top onto the filling and remove wax paper. Trim edges and tuck into edges of pie. Using the scraps of the pie dough, use a 2-inch cookie cutter to create designs. Line cookies onto the crust to form a wreath.

6. Step6

   If desired, brush pie crust with egg wash. Beat together egg and water and brush onto pie crust using a pastry brush. Sprinkle with granulated sugar and sanding sugar just before baking.
