Cook Time: 45 mins
Total Time: 1 hrs 5 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 8 servings
Ingredients
- 1 pie crust
- 2 cups mixed berries (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries)
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon butter, cut into small pieces
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Ensure the oven rack is positioned in the center of the oven for even baking.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the mixed berries, sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice, and vanilla extract. Gently mix until the berries are evenly coated, being careful not to crush the berries.
- Roll out the pie crust and carefully place it into a 9-inch pie dish, ensuring it fits snugly against the bottom and sides of the dish. Trim any excess dough hanging over the edges.
- Pour the berry mixture into the prepared pie crust, spreading it evenly. Dot the top of the filling with the small pieces of butter, distributing them across the surface.
- If desired, create a lattice top or cover with a second pie crust, cutting a few slits to allow steam to escape. Crimp the edges to seal the pie and create a decorative border.
- Place the pie on a baking sheet to catch any potential drips, and cover the edges with aluminum foil to prevent over-browning.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, removing the foil during the last 15 minutes to allow the crust to brown nicely.
- The pie is done when the crust is golden brown and the berry filling is bubbling around the edges. The filling should look thick and slightly glossy.
- Remove from the oven and let cool on a wire rack for at least 30 minutes to allow the filling to set. This will make slicing easier.
- Serve warm or at room temperature. Optional: top with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for extra indulgence.
Tips
- Choose Fresh Berries: For the most vibrant flavor, select ripe, in-season mixed berries. If fresh aren't available, high-quality frozen berries work perfectly.
- Prevent Soggy Crust: Sprinkle a thin layer of cornstarch in the bottom of the pie crust before adding the berry mixture to absorb excess moisture.
- Even Baking: Using a baking sheet under your pie helps catch any drips and ensures more even heat distribution.
- Crust Protection: Aluminum foil around the pie edges prevents over-browning, giving you a perfectly golden crust every time.
- Cooling is Crucial: Allow the pie to cool for at least 30 minutes before serving. This helps the filling set and makes slicing much easier.
- Serving Suggestion: A scoop of vanilla ice cream or dollop of whipped cream can elevate this pie from delicious to absolutely extraordinary!
