Mixed Berry Pie
Mixed Berry Pie combines fresh blackberries, raspberries, and blueberries tossed with sugar and cornstarch inside a double-layered pie crust. The top crust is brushed with egg wash for a golden finish, and butter dots the filling to add richness. Baking starts at a higher temperature with covered edges to set the crust, then lowers to finish baking the filling until bubbling and the crust is golden brown.
Ingredients
- 2 pie crust recipe below
- 1 large egg , beaten
- 1 cup blackberry fresh
- 2 cups raspberries fresh
- 1 1/2 cups blueberries fresh
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 3 tablespoons cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons butter chopped, unsalted
Instructions
- Place the first pie crust in the bottom of the pie plate and brush the pie crust in the pie plate with half the egg.
- Toss the fruit with the sugar and cornstarch until no visible cornstarch is left then pour it in the pie crust and top with the butter.
- Top with the second pie crust, trim excess, brush with the remaining amount of egg.

Notes
- Prepare the double-crust pie dough ahead by combining flour, salt, cold cubed butter, and ice water in a food processor until pea-sized crumbs form.
- Chill the crust dough thoroughly before rolling to ensure a flaky texture.
- Protect pie edges with foil during the initial baking at high temperature to prevent burning.
- Cool the pie completely after baking to let the filling thicken and set properly before slicing.
