Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Fresh strawberries
- 1.5 cups Fresh blueberries
- 1 cup Fresh raspberries
- 0.75 cup Granulated sugar
- 3 tablespoons Cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon Lemon zest
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 2 whole Prepared pie crusts
- 1 large Egg
- 1 tablespoon Water
- 2 tablespoons Raw sugar (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a large mixing bowl, combine the strawberries, blueberries, and raspberries.
Add granulated sugar, cornstarch, lemon zest, lemon juice, and salt to the berries. Gently fold the mixture until the berries are coated evenly. Set aside to let the juices release while you prepare the crust.
Roll out one of the prepared pie crusts on a lightly floured surface. Gently place it into a 9-inch pie dish, pressing it into the bottom and sides of the dish.
Pour the berry mixture into the pie crust, ensuring an even distribution. Dot the top of the filling with small pieces of butter.
Roll out the second prepared pie crust and either cut it into strips for a lattice design or leave it whole to cover the pie. If using a whole crust, cut small slits in the center for ventilation.
Seal the edges of the pie by crimping the bottom and top crusts together using your fingers or a fork.
In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and water to create an egg wash. Brush the egg wash over the top crust for a golden finish during baking. If desired, sprinkle raw sugar over the crust for extra texture and sweetness.
Place the pie on a baking sheet to catch any drips and transfer it to the preheated oven. Bake for 50-55 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
Remove the pie from the oven and allow it to cool for at least 2 hours. This cooling time will help the filling set properly.
Slice and serve on its own or with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. Enjoy!
