Steps:
- Preheat oven to 375-degrees F
- Line the bottom of a 9" pie plate with one of the two pie crusts. If using frozen fruit, quickly rinse off any ice that may have formed around the berries and drain completely.
- Mix both sugars, tapioca, orange zest, orange juice, salt, and cinnamon, if using. Add huckleberries and one shredded apple (optional) and mix gently to combine.
- Set aside to rest for 15 minutes to allow the tapioca to activate.
- Meanwhile, cut the remaining pie crust into ¼" strips using a pastry wheel.
- After the fifteen minutes are up, pour pie filling into the prepared pie crust and dot with butter.
- Place the strips of dough in a lattice fashion over the pie and either tuck the ends of the strips under the bottom crust or fold the bottom crust over the strips and crimp.
- Cover pie edges with foil or pie crust protectors. Brush with 1 tablespoon of milk and sprinkle with 2 teaspoons sugar. Bake for an hour, or until the mixture is thick and bubbly and begins to ooze out of the lattice crust. Remove the foil during the last 15 minutes.
- Cool the huckleberry pie before slicing. Enjoy topping with vanilla ice cream.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line 2 standard muffin tins with paper liners. Sift together flours, baking powder, and salt.
- Beat butter and granulated sugar with a mixer on medium speed until pale and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Beat in eggs, one at a time, and vanilla. Reduce speed to low, and add the flour mixture in 3 additions, alternating with the milk, beginning and ending with the flour mixture; beat until combined after each addition. Fold in huckleberries by hand.
- Divide batter among cups. Bake, rotating halfway through, until golden brown, about 25 minutes. Let cool.
- Beat cream and confectioners' sugar until firm peaks form. Dollop cupcakes with whipped cream, garnish with berries, and dust with confectioners' sugar.
Tips:
- Use Fresh, Plump Huckleberries: Ripe huckleberries burst with flavor and will make your pie-cake even more delicious. If you can't find fresh huckleberries, frozen ones will also work well.
- Don't Overmix the Batter: Overmixing can toughen the cake, so mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Bake the Pie-Cake Until the Crust Is Golden Brown and the Filling Is Bubbling: This will ensure that the pie-cake is cooked through.
- Let the Pie-Cake Cool Completely Before Serving: This will allow the filling to set and the flavors to meld.
- Serve the Pie-Cake with Vanilla Ice Cream or Whipped Cream: This will add a delicious finishing touch.
Conclusion:
Huckleberry pie-cake is a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that is perfect for any occasion. With its sweet and tangy filling and flaky crust, it's sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
