My oldest son and I made this pie together. We used the Butter Flaky Pie Crust, which is also from this site. Instead of sprinkling the top crust with sugar, we used an egg wash. We didn't have plain frozen raspberries, we used a strawberry/raspberry/blackberry frozen berry blend. Instead of cutting a vent in the top, we cut a medium sized heart in the top crust before placing it over the pie. The baking time was a little off for us (we needed an extra 20 minutes) and I also tented our pie with foil so it wouldn't burn on the top. We haven't tried it yet, it's cooling but I do have one thing to say about the pie--it's REALLY juicy. Like REALLY juicy. I don't know if it's because we used frozen berries/peaches but wow, I was really surprized. I don't know that we'll use frozen fruit again. I did sneak a little of the juice from the pie and it seemed perfectly sweetened to me. I'll update my review once we've had a chance to cut into it. UPDATE: We really liked this pie but it was very wet. If I make this again I'll make sure to thaw the fruit out better before using it or add more flour OR I'll use fresh fruit. I want to try this again. Even with it's extra "juice", this was a hit with my family and my oldest boy called this one a win for the third pie he's made.
