Cook Time: 45 mins
Total Time: 1 hrs 5 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 8 servings
Ingredients
- 1 pie crust
- 1 cup blueberries
- 1 cup strawberries, sliced
- 1 cup raspberries
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon butter, cut into small pieces
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Position the oven rack in the center position to ensure even baking.
- In a large mixing bowl, gently combine the blueberries, sliced strawberries, and raspberries. Be careful not to crush the delicate berries.
- In a separate small bowl, whisk together granulated sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice, and cinnamon until well combined and no lumps remain.
- Pour the sugar mixture over the mixed berries and softly fold to coat the fruits evenly, ensuring they are thoroughly but gently mixed.
- Roll out the pie crust and carefully transfer it to a 9-inch pie dish, allowing some overhang around the edges.
- Pour the berry mixture into the prepared pie crust, spreading it evenly across the bottom.
- Dot the top of the berry filling with small pieces of butter, distributing them evenly across the surface.
- Fold the overhanging pie crust edges inward, crimping them decoratively to seal the pie.
- Optional: Create a few small slits on the top crust to allow steam to escape during baking.
- Place the pie on a baking sheet to catch any potential drips and bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.
- Remove from the oven and let the pie cool on a wire rack for at least 2-3 hours to allow the filling to set completely.
- Serve at room temperature, optionally topped with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
Tips
- Berry Selection: Choose fresh, ripe berries for the most intense flavor. If using frozen berries, thaw and drain them completely to prevent excess moisture.
- Crust Perfection: For an extra flaky crust, keep your ingredients cold and handle the dough as little as possible.
- Prevent Soggy Bottom: Sprinkle a thin layer of graham cracker crumbs or ground almonds on the bottom crust before adding the filling to absorb excess moisture.
- Baking Hack: Place a baking sheet under your pie to catch any potential drips and protect your oven from messy spills.
- Cooling is Crucial: Resist the temptation to cut into the pie immediately. Letting it cool for 2-3 hours allows the filling to set properly and makes for cleaner, more beautiful slices.
- Serving Suggestion: A scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream can elevate this pie from delicious to absolutely irresistible!
