Ingredients
- 1 pre-made pie crust (store-bought or homemade)
- 1 cup fresh blueberries
- 1 cup fresh raspberries
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 egg (for egg wash)
- 1 tablespoon milk (for egg wash)
How to Make Mixed Berry Pie Slice
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
- In a large bowl, combine the blueberries, raspberries, granulated sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice, and vanilla extract. Toss gently until the berries are well-coated. Let the mixture sit for about 10 minutes to allow the juices to develop.
- Roll out the pie crust and place it in a 9-inch pie dish. Trim the excess dough hanging over the edges.
- Pour the berry mixture into the pie crust, spreading it evenly.
- To create the lattice crust, roll out a second pie crust and cut it into strips about 1-inch wide. Lay half of the strips horizontally across the top of the pie, then fold back every other strip to create a weave. Lay the remaining strips vertically and unfold the horizontal strips over them, forming a lattice pattern.
- Trim and crimp the edges of the crust to seal. In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and milk to create an egg wash. Brush this mixture over the lattice crust for a golden finish.
- Bake the pie in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling. If the edges brown too quickly, cover them with foil.
- Once done, remove the pie from the oven and let it cool on a wire rack for at least 1 hour before slicing and serving.
Tips for the Best Results
- Use fresh berries for the best flavor and texture. If using frozen, ensure they are thawed and drained of excess liquid.
- For a sweeter filling, adjust the sugar to your taste.
- Let the pie cool completely to allow the filling to set, making it easier to slice.
Easy Variations
- Substitute strawberries or blackberries for a different berry combination.
- Add a teaspoon of cinnamon or nutmeg to the berry filling for a warm spice note.
- Drizzle a bit of melted chocolate over the lattice crust for a decadent touch.
What to Serve With It
- A scoop of vanilla ice cream for a classic pairing
- Fresh whipped cream to enhance the flavors
- A dollop of yogurt for a lighter option
- Fresh mint leaves for garnish
