Fresh Red Raspberry Pie

Friday, April 17, 2020
Mom made the best Fresh Red Raspberry pies growing up.

Using simple pantry ingredients all from scratch these sweet red berries were my dad and I favorite pie.

I love to pick the first fresh fruit in peak berry season.

We had several berry bushes in our yard that Dad grew.

Sometimes we would combine boysenberry, blackberry, and red raspberry when all of them were ripe at the same time.

This pie continued from childhood to adulthood as being my favorite flavor and now a family favorite.

The red raspberry pie will always bring me warm wonderful memories of Dad and me enjoying a big slice with a big tall glass of cold milk.

Now with new technology, I even love Air Fried Hand pies and make them often using fresh fruits.

We love all kinds of seasonal pies like a fall Apple pie, summer-fresh Pineapple pie and then during the holiday we always make a freshly baked pumpkin pie.

The crust and filling are simple to make and all homemade check out this printable recipe by scrolling all the way to the bottom if you want to skip reading tips and tricks.

Mom's Basic Recipe


My mom used this basic recipe for all kinds of fruits, so don't shy away from using this recipe as a guideline and substitute whatever you like.


The filling is basic and great for berries, peaches, apples and just to name a few.


She would add a little more cinnamon than I like so I adapted this a little.


Get creative and make this with your favorite fruit, if you rather use blueberries no problem substitute whatever you want.

Tips for Making Fresh Berry Pies


  • Always cut slits in the top of the pie before baking
  • A sugar butter and milk on top makes the crust flakier and is a great flavor addition
  • Use ice water when making the crust for best results
  • Cornstarch can be substituted for the berries to be tossed in
  • Don't overmix the pie dough or it will become tough
  • Be very careful to not crush the berries when mixing just toss gently
  • Place the uncooked pie on foil and cookie sheet to prevent spillage in the oven

  1. This looks fabulous! I plan to try it with local fruit - either strawberries or mangoes or both. I'll have to replace the sugar, since I'm diabetic and find ways to cut the calories, but NOT change the basic recipe.
    Thank you for it!
