Black Raspberry Crumb Pie Amish Recipe Cooking Dessert Recipes

In a saucepan, dissolve the arrowroot in the water. Add sugar and mix well. Bring to a boil, stirring until sugar is dissolved and glaze slightly thickened. Arrowroot is expensive, but it makes a much clearer, finer glaze than cornstarch, which tends to be gummy. Remove from heat and sir in nutmeg. Fold in the berries. Pour the mixture into an unbaked 9 pie shell and sprinkle with a 1/2" thick layer of crumb topping. Bake in a 350° F oven for 45 minutes. Serve warm or cold, but not straight from the oven or the pie will be hard to cut.
