A southern pie adapted from Desserts from the Loveless Cafe, a Nashville legendary eatery.
Servings: 8

- 5-6 cups fresh or frozen raspberries if frozen, thawed
- 3/4 cups sugar
- 2 tablespoons tapioca

- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- Mix raspberries with sugar liquor vanilla and tapioca.
Instructions
- Prepare pie dough. Divide in ratio of two to one, using largest piece for bottom.
- Roll out bigger piece for bottom of pie dough. Jab with fork. Put in raspberry mixture, tasting for sweetness.
- For the Lattice Topping. Roll out, and cut into strips. Alternate the strips as a basket weave.

Notes
Raspberries become more tart as they bake so make sure the mixture is sweet enough. I like a tart pie, served with ice cream.
