Description
Elderberry Pie is a delightful blend of tart elderberries encased in a flaky crust, perfect for any occasion.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 (14.1-ounce) package double-crust pie pastry
- 4 cups elderberries
- 1 cup white sugar
- 3 tablespoons cornstarch
- 1 tablespoon water
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon butter
Instructions
- Roll out the pastry: Begin by rolling out the thawed double-crust pastry on a lightly floured surface. Carefully line the bottom of your pie dish with one half of the crust.
- Mix the filling: In a large mixing bowl, combine the elderberries, white sugar, cornstarch, water, and lemon juice. Mix until well combined.
- Build your pie: Pour the elderberry filling into the prepared crust and dot with butter.
- Cover with the top crust: Place the second half of the pie crust over the filling, crimping the edges to seal.
- Vent the pie: Cut small slits in the top crust to allow steam to escape.
- Bake to perfection: Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C) and bake for 30-40 minutes until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.
- Cool and serve: Allow the pie to cool for at least 20 minutes before slicing.
Notes
To enhance flavor, consider adding a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg to the filling. Fresh herbs like mint can offer a refreshing twist.
