I stumbled upon my Mixed Berry Pie by pure chance during winter when fresh berries weren't available anywhere. Turns out frozen fruit creates the most amazing filling without any prep cooking. It's now my favorite pie to whip up any time of year. When you mix sweet raspberries with tangy blackberries and plump blueberries, you get this wonderful blend of tastes all wrapped up in a rich, buttery shell.

Delightful Treats for Any Time

What makes this pie so great is how easy it is. I'm always happy knowing I can just grab frozen berries from my freezer and have an impressive dessert ready for baking in just minutes. The natural berry sweetness combined with my family's old pie crust formula always gets everyone at the table smiling. The easiest recipes often turn out to be the ones we treasure most.

What You'll Need for Mixed Berry Pie

  • Frozen Berry Mix: I throw in raspberries, blackberries, and blueberries right from the freezer bag, no need to thaw them first.
  • Pie Crust: I use my grandma's old recipe, but ready-made works too—just try making the criss-cross top pattern if you can.
  • Sugar: Add just enough to bring out the berries' own sweetness.
  • Flour or Cornstarch: This key addition helps you cut perfect slices every time.
  • Lemon Juice: A tiny bit makes all the fruit flavors stand out more.
  • Butter: A few small chunks create an extra rich filling.

How to Create Mixed Berry Pie

Roll Out Your Dough
Work your crust with care—it's what makes your dessert special! Keep some dough aside for making those lovely strips across the top.
Add Your Berries
Dump those frozen treasures straight in, mix with sugar, flour, and a splash of fresh lemon. Add tiny butter pieces throughout for extra goodness.
Weave Your Top Crust
Don't rush while crossing those strips over each other. I always enjoy watching the design come together.
Bake Until Done
Cook until you see a golden top and bubbling filling. Your house will smell amazing while it bakes.
Cool Down Time
Let it sit a while, though I won't mind if you can't wait and grab a warm piece with some vanilla ice cream on top.

Sweet Moments Around the Table

This pie has become what everyone asks me to bring to family events. That beautiful purple filling showing through the golden top always gets everyone excited. I love that it works for anything—fancy enough for Christmas dinner but just right for casual backyard get-togethers too. Whenever I bake it, I'm reminded that truly great recipes don't just feed people—they bring them closer together.

Recipe Questions & Answers

→ Why pick frozen fruit over fresh?

Frozen fruit is super convenient, available all year, and often a budget-friendly option. It stays flavorful since it's frozen when perfectly ripe, and it holds up great while baking.

→ How do I avoid a runny filling?

Be precise when measuring your fruit, add the right amount of cornstarch, and let the filling bubble in the middle before taking it out. Cool it fully to set the filling.

→ Can I prepare this in advance?

Yes! Make it a day early and keep it at room temperature. For longer storage, refrigerate for up to 5 days. Warm it slightly before serving, if you'd like.

→ What's the egg wash for the crust?

An egg wash makes the crust turn a lovely golden brown with a shiny finish. It also holds the edges of the top and bottom crust together like a seal.

→ How can I tell it's fully baked?

Your pie is ready when the crust is golden and the center of the filling is bubbling (not just the edges). This usually takes around 75 minutes.

Cuisine Type: American

Yield: 8 Servings (1)

Dietary Preferences: Vegetarian, Dairy-Free

What You'll Need

01 1-2 teaspoons of sugar to sprinkle on top.
02 1 egg beaten to glaze the crust.
03 A double crust pastry (top and bottom layers).
04 1 tablespoon of freshly squeezed lemon juice.
05 4 cups of a mixed frozen berry medley (420g) - blueberries, blackberries, and raspberries.
06 ⅓ cup of cornstarch, about 54g.
07 ¾ cup to 1 cup of white sugar (150-200g), depending on sweetness.

Steps to Follow

Step 01

Set your oven to 350°F and let it warm up.

Step 02

Roll out half of your dough into a round shape. Line a 9-inch pie tin with it and trim the edges neatly.

Step 03

In a big mixing bowl, stir together the sugar and cornstarch. Add in the frozen berries and lemon juice, gently tossing to coat the fruit evenly.

Step 04

Spoon the berry mixture into your prepared bottom crust, spreading it out evenly across the surface.

Step 05

Flatten the rest of your dough. You can either cut it into strips for a lattice design or leave it intact, adding slits for steam to escape.

Step 06

Brush the edges of the bottom crust with the egg wash. Add the top crust, snipping off any extra, and pinch or crimp the edges as you prefer.

Step 07

Paint the top crust with the egg wash, then scatter a little sugar over it for a nice finish.

Step 08

Pop it in the oven for about an hour and 15 minutes. Look for a golden crust and a bubbling filling in the center. If it browns too quickly, cover with foil.

Additional Notes

  1. Place a baking sheet lined with foil under your pie to catch drips.
  2. Let the berries rest in the sugar mixture for 5-10 minutes before adding to the crust.
  3. Accurately measure the berries to avoid spills.
  4. Ensure the center filling bubbles before taking it out of the oven.

Tools You'll Need

  • A 9-inch pie dish.
  • Rolling pin for flattening the dough.
  • Large bowl for mixing the filling.
  • A baking tray to catch drips in the oven.
