Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 5 cups mixed berries
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 3 tablespoons cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 1 9-inch pre-made pie crust
- 1 large egg
- 1 tablespoon water
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Gently rinse and dry the mixed berries. In a large bowl, combine the berries with granulated sugar, cornstarch, lemon zest, lemon juice, vanilla extract, and salt. Toss everything together until the berries are evenly coated and the ingredients are well mixed.
Roll out the pre-made pie crust and fit it into a 9-inch pie pan. Trim the excess dough from the edge, leaving about a 1/2 inch overhang.
Pour the berry mixture into the prepared pie crust, spreading it evenly.
In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and water to make an egg wash. Brush the edge of the pie crust with the egg wash to help it brown during baking.
Place the pie on a baking sheet to catch any overflow during baking.
Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool on a wire rack for at least 2 hours to allow the filling to set.
Once cooled, slice and serve the berry pie. Enjoy!
