My cherry pie recipe has tapioca on the ingredient list..will this make the texture lumpy like tapioca pudding

I don't like tapioca pudding because of the texture. Will the tapioca in the pie make the texture like tapioca pudding?My cherry pie recipe has tapioca on the ingredient list..will this make the texture lumpy like tapioca pudding
Most likely not. The temperature and length of the cooking for the pie is a lot longer than that of tapioca pudding. Most if the tapioca pearls should break completely down. If you are really that worried about it you can always go to an Asian market and get the tapioca powder. The main purpose of the tapioca is to be a thickening agent.

If you use the instant or ';minute'; tapioca, it definitely won't. The starch will thicken it nicely. I've even used minute tapioca in a recipe for slow-cooker beef stew and there were no ';balls'; of tapioca in it at all.
No it will come out just as expected not the consistency of the pudding. Tapioca is used merely as a starch in this recipe.
No it is just a thickener used for custards pudding stuff like that.you can probably exchange for cornstarch to aborb extra liquid. If you are really worried about the texture but cornstarch dulls down the colour. if you use cornstarch mix with tiny bit of cold water to form a paste
It honestly depends on how much tapioca the recipe calls for. In the recipes that I have seen, that have had tapioca as an ingredient--it was only a little bit, used only as a thickening agent. There shouldn't be enough tapioca to give it that familiar texture...but there might be the occasional pearl--more than likely unnoticeable (instant over non-instant). There are other recipes that you can search out that use other thickening agents, such as cornstarch, etc. Have fun and happy pie making!!
Nope! just gives the pie filling a beautiful clear glaze that won't thin down (like corn starch does) with time. But do use the ';instant'; type not the pearl type of tapioca. Enjoy!
