Mixed Berry Pie
Description
The Mixed Berry Pie blends fresh strawberries, raspberries, and blackberries tossed with raw sugar for sweetness and cornstarch for thickening. Lemon juice and zest add brightness, enhancing the berry flavors. The filling is portioned into small ramekins lined with refrigerated pie crust circles that are rolled slightly and cut with a heart shape in the center for venting.
Baked at 375°F for about 40 minutes, the berries become hot and bubbly while the crust develops a golden, crisp texture. This method yields individual pies with a balanced sweet-tart berry filling and a flaky, visually appealing crust. The heart cut-out adds a simple decorative touch and lets steam escape during baking.
These single-serve pies make a charming dessert ideal for individual servings without the need to slice a larger pie. They are suited to occasions when a fresh berry dessert is desired with a controlled portion size.
