Notes
If measuring the flour by volume use the “dip & sweep” method. That is, dip the measuring cup into the flour bin, overfill it, then sweep away the excess.
To make a double crust pie eliminate all the ingredients listed under the "Crumb Topping" heading in the recipe card. Fill the bottom crust with the berries and brush the edges of the dough with egg white. Top with dough and crimp the edges. Cut a vent hold in the middle of the top to let steam escape. Brush the top crust with egg white and sprinkle with granulated sugar. Bake until the crust is golden and the juices in the middle of the pie are bubbling.
