Razzleberry Pie

For years we’ve been making pies for the holidays, and this is definitely not your traditional Greek baklava! Our mother Helen, was the pie baker in the family and with three boys she became the Queen of Pies! Now someone has to carry on the pie baking traditions. I guess it’s me. This Razzleberry pie has been a standard at our Thanksgiving table for many years. You can use My Favorite Crust recipe below from Bon-Appetit that I have made for years or a store-bought crust.
