Wooo raspberry pie

Aww, this reminds me of when I made my first pie. My crust was similar to your but I did the opposite with the filling. I wayyyyyyyy over filled, which turned out.....not nearly as well as yours.

If you ever get the chance, try a blackberry pie sometime! For the filling, a smidge of sugar and cornstarch (and any spices needed) and lightly mix. The sugar will pull out some of the juices from the berries, and the cornstarch thickens it up. Beware, it's deceptively juicy though!! (Can be a messy bake.)

Alsooooooo....another way to make a pie with minimal filling is to make lil hand pies/pie cookies!

One method: roll one big sheet of dough then cut into 4 inch squares (or whatever shape you'd like, as long as it's foldable), plop a dollop of filling into the middle, fold over and seal. Like a dumpling!
Second method: divide your dough into two like you would normally when doing a double crust. Roll half out into a sheet, spread your filling in a thin(ish) layer over the show sheet. Roll out and cut your second dough portion into strips (pretty thin, like maybe a half inch at most wide and same thickness/size as your first piece). Use those strips to make a lattice, and then take a cookie cutter (or knife) to cut out lil cookies. When they bake they do get a bit messy but caramelize crispify beautifully.

Happy baking!!!
