Nothing says “home” quite like a freshly baked pie. This Saskatoon Berry Pie is not only simple to make but also filled with the rich flavors of the berries. Let’s not delay and jump straight into the ingredients and instructions!
Ingredients
- 2 cups fresh or frozen Saskatoon berries
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon butter, cut into small pieces
- 1 package refrigerated pie crusts (or homemade pie crusts)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
- In a mixing bowl, combine the Saskatoon berries, sugar, lemon juice, cornstarch, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and salt. Mix well until berries are coated.
- Roll out the bottom pie crust and place it into a 9-inch pie dish. Pour the berry mixture into the crust, spreading it evenly.
- Dot the top of the berries with small pieces of butter.
- Roll out the second pie crust and place it over the filling. You can either cut slits for a lattice pattern or simply cover it. Make sure to seal the edges securely.
- Cut a few small slits in the top crust to allow steam to escape.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes at 425°F (220°C), then reduce the heat to 350°F (175°C) and continue baking for an additional 30-35 minutes or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.
- Once baked, remove the pie from the oven and let it cool for at least 2 hours to allow the filling to set before serving.
- Slice and enjoy your delicious Traditional Canadian Prairie Wild Saskatoon Berry Pie!
This pie is best served warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream. The combination of the sweet berries and creamy toppings creates a delightful dessert that everyone will love. Enjoy your baking adventure!
