Sweet, Tart, and Perfectly Flaky: A Berry Pie to Remember

This Triple Berry Pie brings together three kinds of berries in a luscious filling, surrounded by a buttery, homemade crust. Each slice promises a delightful mix of textures and flavors.

Pro Tips for a Perfect Triple Berry Pie:

1. Keep Ingredients Cold: Use cold butter and ice water for a flaky crust.
2. Toss Gently: Mix the berries with sugar and cornstarch gently to avoid crushing them.
3. Prevent a Soggy Bottom: Bake the pie on a preheated baking sheet to help cook the bottom crust evenly.
4. Vent the Top Crust: Cutting slits in the top crust allows steam to escape, preventing a soggy filling.

This recipe combines a homemade pie crust with a fresh berry filling for a dessert that’s as beautiful as it is delicious.

Ingredients:

• For the Crust:
  • 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, cold and diced
  • 1/4 to 1/2 cup ice water
• For the Filling:
  • 2 cups fresh or frozen raspberries
  • 2 cups fresh or frozen blackberries
  • 2 cups fresh or frozen blueberries
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup cornstarch
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• Egg Wash:
  • 1 egg, beaten
  • 1 tablespoon water

Directions:

1. Prepare the Dough:
   In a large bowl, mix the flour, salt, and sugar. Cut in the cold butter using a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Gradually add ice water, stirring with a fork until the dough comes together. Divide into two discs, wrap in plastic, and chill for at least 1 hour.
2. Mix the Filling:
   In a large bowl, combine the raspberries, blackberries, blueberries, sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice, lemon zest, and cinnamon. Toss gently to coat and let sit while the dough chills.
3. Roll Out the Crust:
   Roll out one disc of dough on a floured surface into a 12-inch circle. Fit it into a 9-inch pie plate, trimming the edges. Pour the berry filling into the prepared crust.
4. Top the Pie:
   Roll out the second disc of dough and place it over the filling. Trim, seal, and crimp the edges. Cut slits in the top crust to allow steam to escape. Brush with egg wash for a glossy finish.
5. Bake the Pie:
   Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Place the pie on a baking sheet and bake for 20 minutes. Reduce the oven temperature to 375°F (190°C) and bake for an additional 30-35 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the filling is bubbly.
6. Cool and Serve:
   Allow the pie to cool on a wire rack before slicing. This step helps the filling set, making for clean, beautiful slices.
