Ingredients
For the Pie Crust:
- All-purpose flour: 2 1/2 cups
- Unsalted butter: 1 cup (2 sticks), chilled and cubed
- Salt: 1/2 tsp
- Ice water: 6-8 tbsp
For the Berry Filling:
- Mixed berries (blueberries, blackberries, raspberries, strawberries): 4 cups
- Granulated sugar: 3/4 cup
- Cornstarch: 1/4 cup
- Lemon juice: 1 tbsp (freshly squeezed)
- Vanilla extract: 1 tsp
- Butter: 1 tbsp, cubed (optional for dotting on top of the filling)
For the Lattice Top:
- Egg wash: 1 egg, beaten with 1 tbsp water
- Coarse sugar: For sprinkling on top (optional)
Instructions
- Make the Pie Crust: Mix the flour and salt in a large bowl. Cut in the chilled butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Gradually add ice water until the dough comes together. Divide into two disks, wrap, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
- Prepare the Filling: Mix berries, sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice, and vanilla in a large bowl. Toss gently and let sit for 10-15 minutes to release juices.
- Preheat Oven: Preheat to 400°F (200°C). Roll out one disk of dough on a floured surface to fit a 9-inch pie dish. Transfer and trim the edges.
- Fill the Pie: Pour the berry filling into the crust. Dot with cubed butter, if desired.
- Create Lattice Top: Roll out the second disk, cut into 1-inch strips. Weave the strips to create a lattice pattern. Trim excess dough and crimp edges.
- Prepare for Baking: Brush the lattice with egg wash and sprinkle with coarse sugar.
- Bake: Place the pie on a baking sheet and bake for 45-50 minutes, until golden and bubbly. Cover edges with foil if browning too quickly.
- Cool: Allow the pie to cool for at least 2 hours to set before slicing.
Notes
- Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
- Store leftovers covered at room temperature for up to 2 days or in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
