Ingredients

• 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 tablespoon sugar
• 1 cup unsalted butter, cold and diced
• 1/4 to 1/2 cup ice water
• 2 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
• 1 cup fresh blueberries
• 1 cup fresh raspberries
• 3/4 cup granulated sugar
• 1/4 cup cornstarch
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 1 tablespoon lemon zest
• 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
• 2 tablespoons turbinado sugar (for sprinkling)

Directions

1. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, and sugar.
2. Add the cold, diced butter to the flour mixture. Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, cut the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
3. Slowly drizzle in the ice water, a tablespoon at a time, until the dough comes together. Knead the dough a few times to bring it together into a smooth ball. Divide the dough into two equal portions, flatten into discs, and wrap each disc in plastic wrap. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
4. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
5. In a large mixing bowl, combine the sliced strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, granulated sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice, and lemon zest. gently toss until the berries are coated in the sugar mixture.
6. Roll out one disc of dough on a lightly floured surface to fit a 9-inch pie dish. Transfer the rolled dough to the pie dish, pressing it gently to fit. Trim any excess dough from the edges.
7. Pour the berry filling into the pie dish.
8. Roll out the second disc of dough and cut it into strips for a lattice crust. Lay the strips across the pie, weaving them to create a lattice pattern. Trim any excess dough from the edges.
9. Brush the lattice crust with the beaten egg and sprinkle with turbinado sugar for a golden finish.
10. Bake the pie for 45-50 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the filling is bubbly.
11. Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool for at least 1 hour before serving. This allows the filling to set.
12. Serve the three-berry pie warm or at room temperature. Enjoy!
