Ingredients:
- 2.5 cups (315g) all-purpose flour
- 1 cup (225g) cold unsalted butter, cubed
- 1 tsp (5g) salt
- 1 tbsp (15ml) apple cider vinegar
- 7 tbsp (105ml) ice water
- 6 cups (900g) wild huckleberries
- 0.75 cup (150g) granulated sugar
- 0.25 cup (30g) cornstarch
- 1 tbsp (15ml) lemon juice
- 0.5 tsp (2g) ground cinnamon
- 0.25 tsp (1g) salt
- 1 large egg, beaten
- 1 tbsp (12g) coarse sugar
Instructions:
- Cut flour, salt, and cold butter by hand until pea-sized crumbs form, working quickly to ensure butter stays in tiny chunks.
- Stir in vinegar and ice water one tablespoon at a time until the dough just holds together.
- Wrap the dough in plastic and refrigerate for 1 hour.
- In a large bowl, toss huckleberries with sugar, cornstarch, cinnamon, and salt, then stir in the lemon juice. Let sit for 10 minutes.
- Roll out the chilled dough and fit it into a 9-inch pie dish.
- Pour in the berry mixture and top with a second rolled crust or a lattice weave, crimping the edges firmly to seal.
- Brush the top with beaten egg and sprinkle with coarse sugar.
- Bake at 400°F (200°C) for 20 minutes, then reduce heat to 375°F (190°C) and bake for another 35 minutes until the crust is mahogany-colored and the filling is bubbling.
