Berry-Apple-Rhubarb Pie
“I make this family favourite every year for a gathering at my sister’s, where the recipe is known as ‘Uncle Mike’s pie.’ I use only fresh berries, apples and rhubarb that I grow myself.” —Michael Powers, New Baltimore, Virginia

Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine flour and salt; cut in shortening until crumbly. Gradually add water, tossing with a fork until dough forms a ball. Divide dough in half so that 1 portion is slightly larger than the other. Wrap and refrigerate until easy to handle, about 30 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 400°. On a lightly floured surface, roll out larger portion of dough to fit a 9-in. deep-dish pie plate or cast-iron skillet. Transfer pastry to pie plate.
- In a large bowl, toss apples with lemon juice and vanilla; add berries and rhubarb. Combine flour, allspice, cinnamon and 1-1/2 cups sugar; add to apple mixture and toss gently to coat. Spoon into crust; dot with butter.
- Roll out remaining pastry; make a lattice crust. Trim, seal and flute edges. Brush milk over lattice top. Sprinkle with remaining sugar.
- Bake 15 minutes. Reduce heat to 350°; bake until crust is golden brown and filling is bubbly, 50-60 minutes longer. Cover edges with foil during the last 15 minutes to prevent overbrowning if necessary. Cool on a wire rack.
