My Grandmother’s Best Berry Pie

This pie is a true labor of love, combining sweet, tangy berries with a buttery crust. You’ll want to savor every bite, so let’s dive into what you’ll need and how to make it!

My Grandmother’s Best Berry Pie

Ingredients

  • 2 cups mixed berries (blueberries, strawberries, raspberries)
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 prepared pie crust (homemade or store-bought)
  • 1 tablespoon butter, cut into small pieces
  • 1 egg (for egg wash)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and get that pie crust ready. If you’re feeling adventurous, go ahead and make your crust from scratch!
  2. In a large bowl, mix together the berries, sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice, and vanilla extract. Let it sit for about 10-15 minutes to allow the juices to mingle.
  3. Pour the berry mixture into the prepared pie crust and sprinkle the pieces of butter on top. This adds a deliciously rich flavor!
  4. Cover the pie with a second crust, or make a lattice top if you’re feeling fancy. Make sure to seal the edges well and cut a few slits in the top crust to allow steam to escape.
  5. Brush the top crust with the beaten egg to give it a nice golden color while baking.
  6. Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes, then reduce the temperature to 350°F (175°C) and continue baking for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.
  7. Once done, remove from the oven and let it cool for at least 30 minutes before slicing.

And there you have it, my friends! A pie that’s bursting with flavor and nostalgia. Serve it up with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream, and watch those smiles light up the room. Enjoy every buttery, berry-filled bite!
