Raspberry Pie

1 quart fresh raspberries
3/4 cup granulated sugar
2 tablespoons cornstarch
2 tablespoons instant tapioca
4 tablespoons water
2 9" refrigerated pie crusts
1 egg white
3 tablespoons butter
Serving Size: 1 piece
Servings: 8

Preheat oven to 425°F.
Mix together raspberries, sugar, cornstarch, tapioca, and water in large bowl.
Line a 9" pie plate with 1 pie crust. Brush crust with slightly beaten egg white
(reserve some beaten egg white to brush top crust).  Spoon raspberry mixture
into bottom crust. Dot raspberry mixture with butter (see TIP). Top with
remaining crust, crimping top and bottom crust together. Cut 4-6 slits in top
crust to allow steam to escape while baking.  Bake at 425º F for 10 minutes.
Reduce heat to 350º F and bake for an additional 45 minutes. Cover edges
of pie crust with aluminum foil to prevent over browning.

TIP: To dot with butter, grate cold butter on a cheese grater and sprinkle grated
butter over pie filling.
