Mixed Berry Pie (Printable Version)
A cozy berry pie made with frozen fruit, wrapped in a delicate crust and finished with a stunning lattice. Sweet and tangy flavors blend perfectly.
# 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:
01 -
Set your oven to 350°F and let it warm up.
02 -
Roll out half of your dough into a round shape. Line a 9-inch pie tin with it and trim the edges neatly.
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.
04 -
Spoon the berry mixture into your prepared bottom crust, spreading it out evenly across the surface.
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.
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.
07 -
Paint the top crust with the egg wash, then scatter a little sugar over it for a nice finish.
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:
01 -
Place a baking sheet lined with foil under your pie to catch drips.
02 -
Let the berries rest in the sugar mixture for 5-10 minutes before adding to the crust.
03 -
Accurately measure the berries to avoid spills.
04 -
Ensure the center filling bubbles before taking it out of the oven.
