Easy Homemade Raspberry Apple Pie

Oh man is this homemade raspberry apple pie not only delicious but pretty easy to make! You will love how easily it all comes together.

While apple pie is always good sometimes it’s fun to change things up. While you could use any berry you like I personally like how the sweetness of the apple’s balances with the tartness of the raspberries.

Plus, it comes out a beautiful colour! Every good pie also needs a good pie crust! I’ve got a delicious simple sourdough pie crust recipe here if you need one!

Now, here are some more reasons why you will love this recipe!

Why You’ll Love This Recipe

1. It’s easy to make: This is a simple recipe. Like all my recipes I like to keep things pretty easy and straight forward.
2. Healthier than storebought: While all pies need some sugar, you can control which sugar you use and ultimately the amount. There’s also no additives, artificial sweeteners or colours. Just pure ingredients!
3. Bulk make: You can make more and freeze for another day! I’ll tell you how to do this in the how to store section in this post.
4. Delicious: Can’t forget that this is absolutely delicious and is different from your normal apple pie. Apple pie with a twist!

Tips For Making Raspberry Apple Pie

1. Let your filling cool before placing it in the pie crust. It can be very hard to do the top of the pie crust if your filling is hot!
2. If you want chunks of raspberries in your pie don’t cook them like I did. Precook the apples and simply mix the frozen raspberries in before pouring the mixture into your pie crust.

What You’ll Need to Make This Recipe

Ingredients

3 cups of sliced apples

3 cups of fresh or frozen raspberries. Frozen will hold shape better and cheaper to purchase normally.

3/4 cup sugar: You could use honey if you like as well but I used raw sugar.

1/4 cup butter for cooking the apples and gives the whole mixture a lovely taste.

1/2 cup tapioca flour: This will thicken your pie mixture nicely!

1/2 lemon squeezed

2 tbsp vanilla essence

pinch of salt: I use sea salt, but you can also use Himalayan salt.

How To Make Raspberry Apple Pie Step by Step

1. In a medium pan or pot get your butter melted and place the sliced apples into it.

2. Add vanilla, sugar, 1/2 a squeezed lemon and a pinch of salt

3. Add the frozen or fresh raspberries once the apples are just about cooked.

4. Slowly add the tapioca flour to your ingredients and continue stirring so it doesn’t clump up but incorporates well.

5. Allow the mixture too cool and then place on top of your pie crust.

6. You can put a top on your pie if you’d like.

7. Add egg white and sprinkle raw sugar to the top of the pie crust for a shinier crust.

8. Bake at 220c/425F for about 25-30 minutes. Once the top is golden.

9. Take the pie out and allow it to cool for about 20 minutes before serving! Enjoy!

How To Store Homemade Pie

First allow the pie to completely cool before storing.

You can store this pie in an airtight container in the fridge for about 5 days

You can also pre slice the pie and store in an airtight container in the freezer for about a month.

What To Serve with Homemade Pie

You can definitely just eat this pie on it’s own! But here are some other suggestions!

1. Pour some cream on top, pie and cream are amazing.
2. If you like custard pour some custard on your pie.
3. Serve with a side of ice cream. Hot and cold are so good together!
4. Top it with whip cream and a few more berries for an aesthetically pleasing pie! Also taste lovely!
