Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 9-inch crust Whole wheat pie crust
- 4 cups Mixed berries (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, or blackberries)
- 2 tablespoons Fresh lemon juice
- 3 tablespoons Cornstarch
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 cup Apple juice concentrate, unsweetened
- 1 tablespoon Unsalted butter
- 1 serving Egg wash (1 egg beaten with 1 tablespoon water)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
If using a refrigerated pie crust, allow it to sit at room temperature for about 10 minutes before unrolling. Fit the crust into a 9-inch pie plate, crimp the edges as desired and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the mixed berries and toss them with the lemon juice.
In a small bowl, whisk together the cornstarch, salt, and cinnamon, and then sprinkle over the berries. Gently stir to coat.
Add the vanilla extract and apple juice concentrate to the berry mixture and stir until well combined.
Pour the berry mixture into the prepared pie crust. Dot with small pieces of butter over the top.
Cover the pie with a lattice crust if desired or use a second pie crust and cut slits for steam to escape.
Brush the top crust with the egg wash.
Place the pie on a baking sheet to catch any drips and bake in the preheated oven for about 50-60 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.
If the edges of the crust start to brown too quickly, cover them with strips of aluminum foil.
Remove the pie from the oven and allow it to cool at room temperature for at least 2 hours before serving. This cooling period will help the filling set.
Serve the pie warm or at room temperature. Enjoy your naturally sweetened, sugar-free fruit pie!
