For a richer flavor, consider adding a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg to the berry mixture. If using frozen Saskatoon berries, there is no need to simmer the berries beforehand, simply drain and cool before mixing. Ensure the pie crust edges are well sealed to prevent the filling from leaking during baking. To prevent the crust from browning too quickly, cover the edges with foil during the initial baking period.

Follow The Directions
01
Step
15 mins
Begin by simmering the Saskatoon berries with 1/4 cup of water in a saucepan over medium heat. (Approximately 15 minutes) This step helps to soften the berries and release their juices.
02
Step
20 mins
Drain the berries in a colander, discarding the liquid. Allow the berries to cool to room temperature. (Approximately 20 minutes)
03
Step
5 mins
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
04
Step
2 mins
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the 1/2 cup of sugar and the tapioca. This mixture will help to thicken the pie filling.
05
Step
3 mins
Gently stir the sugar-tapioca mixture and lemon juice into the cooled Saskatoon berries, ensuring the berries are evenly coated.
06
Step
5 mins
Line a 9-inch pie plate with one of the pastry crusts. Pour the berry mixture into the crust and dot the top of the filling with the chilled butter pieces.
07
Step
5 mins
Cover the pie with the second pastry crust and crimp the edges tightly to seal. Cut several slits in the top crust to allow steam to escape during baking.
08
Step
2 mins
Brush the top crust with the lightly beaten egg white, which will give it a beautiful golden sheen. Sprinkle with the remaining 1 tablespoon of sugar.
09
Step
30 mins
Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes. Remove from the oven and sprinkle with the remaining 1 tablespoon sugar over crust, and continue to bake until crust is golden and filling is bubbly. (Approximately 10 more minutes)
