Description
Sweet and tangy triple berry pie blends ripe strawberries, blueberries, and raspberries in a flaky homemade crust. Fresh ingredients and simple techniques help bakers create a delightful dessert perfect for summer gatherings.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pie crust (homemade or store-bought, for double crust)
- 2 cups blueberries
- 2 cups raspberries
- 2 cups blackberries
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 1/4 cup cornstarch
- 2 tbsps lemon juice
- 2 tbsps butter (optional, for dotting)
- 1 egg wash (for crust)
Instructions
- Prepare the oven by heating to 400F (200C). Gently unfurl the bottom pie crust into a 9-inch pie dish, ensuring smooth coverage.
- Combine mixed berries in a mixing bowl with sugar, cornstarch, and lemon juice, thoroughly coating each berry to create a glossy, evenly mixed filling.
- Transfer the berry mixture into the prepared pie crust, distributing evenly and creating a level surface. Optional: Strategically place small butter pieces across the filling for enhanced richness.
- Carefully layer the second pie crust over the filled base, crimping edges to create a tight seal. Cut decorative steam vents across the top crust to allow proper ventilation during baking.
- Delicately brush the entire top crust with egg wash, which will create a golden, glossy finish during baking.
- Place pie in the preheated oven and bake for 45-50 minutes until the crust transforms into a deep golden brown and the filling becomes visibly bubbly and slightly thickened.
- Remove from oven and allow pie to cool completely, which helps the filling set and makes slicing easier, ensuring neat and beautiful pie servings.
Notes
- Swap frozen berries for fresh ones during off-season to maintain vibrant flavor and texture.
- Use cold butter and ice water when making pie crust to ensure flaky, tender results.
- Prevent soggy bottom by preheating a baking sheet and placing pie directly on hot surface during baking.
- Reduce sugar for diabetic-friendly version by using stevia or monk fruit sweetener and adding extra lemon zest for brightness.
