Ingredients

Pie Crust

  • 2.5 cups All-purpose flour
  • 0.5 tsp Salt
  • 1 cup Unsalted butter, diced and frozen
  • 6-8 tbsp Ice water

Berry Filling

  • 4 cups Mixed berries (fresh or frozen)
  • 0.75 cup Granulated sugar
  • 2 tbsp Cornstarch
  • 1 tsp Vanilla extract
  • 1 tbsp Lemon juice

Instructions

  • Step 1: Prepare the Pie Crust - Mix the flour and salt in a large bowl. Add the frozen, diced butter and cut it into the flour until it resembles coarse crumbs.
  • Step 2: Add Ice Water - Gradually add ice water, mixing until the dough comes together. Divide into two discs, wrap in plastic, and chill for at least 30 minutes.
  • Step 3: Prepare the Berry Filling - In a bowl, combine mixed berries, sugar, cornstarch, vanilla, and lemon juice. Toss gently and let sit for 10-15 minutes.
  • Step 4: Roll Out the Dough - Roll out one disc of dough on a floured surface into a circle, then place it in the pie dish.
  • Step 5: Fill the Pie - Pour the berry mixture into the pie crust, spreading it evenly.
  • Step 6: Top with Second Crust - Roll out the second disc and place it over the filling. Cut slits for steam or create a lattice pattern.
  • Step 7: Bake the Pie - Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Bake for 15 minutes, then lower to 350°F (175°C) and bake for 35-45 minutes until golden brown.
  • Step 8: Cool and Serve - Let the pie cool for at least 2 hours before serving. Enjoy warm or at room temperature.
