🥧 How To Make Pioneer Woman Mixed Berry Pie

  1. Preheat the oven: to 400°F (200°C) and place a baking sheet on the bottom rack to catch any drips.
  2. Prepare the filling: by gently tossing the strawberries, blueberries, and raspberries with the granulated sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice, lemon zest, and salt in a large bowl.
  3. Roll out the dough: for the bottom crust and carefully press it into a 9-inch pie dish, trimming any excess from the edges.
  4. Pour the fruit mixture: into the prepared pie shell, arranging it so the mound is slightly higher in the center.
  5. Dot the filling: with the small cubes of butter scattered evenly over the berries.
  6. Cover the pie: with the second crust (you can do a solid top with slits for vents or weave a lattice pattern) and crimp the edges to seal.
  7. Brush the crust: with the beaten egg and sprinkle strictly with the coarse sugar for a crunchy, golden finish.
  8. Bake the pie: for 45 to 55 minutes until the crust is deep golden brown and the fruit filling is bubbling thickly through the vents.

💡 Recipe Tips

  • Use a pie shield. If the edges of the crust start browning too quickly before the center is done, cover them with a pie shield or a ring of aluminum foil.
  • Let it cool completely. It is crucial to let the pie cool for at least 3 to 4 hours before slicing; this allows the cornstarch to fully set so the filling doesn’t run.
  • Don’t thaw frozen berries. If you substitute frozen berries, use them straight from the freezer and add an extra teaspoon of cornstarch to account for the extra moisture.
  • Vent the top. If using a solid top crust, make sure to cut large enough slits to allow steam to escape, which keeps the bottom crust from getting soggy.

FAQs

Can I use just one type of berry for my Mixed Berry Pie?

Yes, you can use 4.5 to 5 cups of a single berry, such as blueberries or blackberries, but the mix provides a more complex flavor profile.

Why is my Mixed Berry Pie filling soupy?

This usually happens if the pie didn’t bake long enough for the thickener to activate (it must bubble) or if you sliced it while it was still warm.

Do I need to blind bake the bottom crust for Mixed Berry Pie?

No, for a double-crust fruit pie like this, you do not need to pre-bake the bottom crust; it bakes along with the filling.
