How to Make Lou Lou's Favourite Bumbleberry Pie

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour and 1 teaspoon salt.
  3. Cut in 1 cup shortening using a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together ½ cup ice water, 1 large egg, and 1 tablespoon white vinegar.
  5. Gradually add the wet ingredients to the flour mixture, mixing until a dough forms. Do not overmix.
  6. Divide the dough into four equal portions. Wrap each in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight.
  7. On a lightly floured surface, roll out one portion of dough to fit a 9-inch pie plate. Repeat with another portion for a second pie.
  8. Transfer the bottom crusts to two 9-inch pie plates.
  9. In a large bowl, gently combine: 4 cups peeled and sliced apples, 2 cups chopped rhubarb, 1 cup sliced strawberries, 1 cup blueberries, 1 cup raspberries, and 2 tablespoons lemon juice.
  10. In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 cups granulated sugar, ½ cup all-purpose flour, and ¼ cup tapioca starch.
  11. Add the dry ingredients to the fruit mixture and toss gently to coat.
  12. Divide the filling evenly between the two pie crusts.
  13. Roll out the remaining two dough portions and place them over the fillings. Trim and crimp the edges to seal.
  14. Cut a few slits in the top crust to allow steam to escape.
  15. Brush the top crusts with an egg wash (1 egg beaten with 1 tablespoon water).
  16. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until the filling is bubbly and the crust is golden brown. Let cool completely before serving.
