Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup unsalted butter, cubed
• 6-8 tablespoons ice-cold water
• 4 cups fresh or frozen mixed berries
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 1/4 cup cornstarch
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 1 tablespoon lemon zest
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)

Directions

1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour and salt. Cut in the butter using a pastry cutter or your fingertips until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
2. Add ice-cold water, one tablespoon at a time, and mix until the dough comes together. Divide the dough into two equal portions and shape each into a disk. Wrap them in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
3. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
4. In a separate bowl, combine the berries, sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice, lemon zest, and vanilla extract. Mix well to coat the berries.
5. Roll out one of the chilled dough disks on a lightly floured surface to fit the bottom of a 9-inch pie dish. Place the rolled dough onto the dish, pressing it gently to remove any air bubbles.
6. Pour the berry mixture into the pie dish, spreading it evenly.
7. Roll out the second chilled dough disk and place it on top of the berry mixture. Seal the edges by pressing the top and bottom crusts together with your fingers or a fork.
8. Brush the top crust with beaten egg for a golden finish.
9. Make a few slits on the top crust to allow steam to escape during baking.
10. Bake the pie for 45-50 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.
11. Remove from the oven and let it cool for at least 30 minutes before serving.
12. Serve the fantastic pie warm or at room temperature. Enjoy!
