Mixed Berry Pie Recipe

Ingredients

For the Pie Crust:

  • 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tbsp granulated sugar
  • 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, cold and cubed
  • 6-8 tbsp ice water

For the Berry Filling:

  • 2 cups fresh blueberries
  • 2 cups fresh raspberries
  • 2 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar (adjust to taste)
  • 1/4 cup cornstarch
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon (optional)
  • Pinch of salt

For Assembly:

  • 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
  • 1 tbsp coarse sugar (optional)

Instructions

1. Prepare the Pie Crust:

  • In a large mixing bowl, whisk together flour, salt, and sugar.
  • Add the cold, cubed butter. Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  • Gradually add ice water, one tablespoon at a time, mixing until the dough comes together. Divide the dough in half, shape into disks, and wrap in plastic wrap. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour (or overnight).

2. Prepare the Berry Filling:

  • In a large bowl, combine the mixed berries, sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and salt. Toss gently to coat the berries evenly. Let sit for about 15-20 minutes to allow the juices to mix.

3. Assemble the Pie:

  • Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
  • Roll out one disk of pie dough on a lightly floured surface to fit your pie pan. Transfer the rolled-out dough to the pan, gently pressing it into the bottom and sides.
  • Pour the berry filling into the pie crust, spreading it evenly.
  • Roll out the second disk of dough and place it over the filling (you can cut slits for a lattice effect or leave it whole). If using a whole crust, cut a few slits in the top to allow steam to escape.
  • Pinch the edges of the crusts together to seal and remove any excess dough. Crimp the edges for a decorative finish.

4. Bake the Pie:

  • Brush the top crust with the beaten egg, and sprinkle with coarse sugar if desired.
  • Bake the pie in the preheated oven for 15 minutes.
  • Reduce the temperature to 350°F (175°C) and continue baking for 30-40 minutes, or until the filling is bubbly and the crust is golden brown. If the crust starts to brown too quickly, cover the edges with aluminum foil.

5. Cool and Serve:

  • Allow the pie to cool for at least 2 hours before slicing. This helps the filling set a bit more.
  • Serve with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for an extra treat!

Enjoy your homemade mixed berry pie! It’s perfect for any occasion, or just a delightful dessert to share with family and friends.
