my pie recipe

so i've been told i make "the best pie in indiana."
hehe.
i found this recipe through trial and error, and the measurements aren't precise, but precision is less important than you'd think.

dough
- 2.5 cups flour
-1/4 cup sugar
-2/3 cup crisco/ shortening
-2 T butter
-1/4 cup water

cut butter and crisco into flour and sugar into little crumbs, add water and form into a lump. cut in half. roll out half for bottom on wax paper and turn out into pan

filling
-2 small bags of berries. or apples, sliced, enough to fill pan overflowing
- 1.5 cup sugar
-1 T butter, cut up
-1/4 cup tapioca

put filling into bottom crust. roll out top and cut into strips. lay on the pie in a criss-crossed grid. sprinkle with sugar

cook at 375 until it bubbles in the center. cover crust with foil when it turns brown.

enjoy :)
i just made this using mixed berries from aldi mart. it was super delicious :)
