Ingredients

• 2.5 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 cup unsalted butter
• 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 6 tablespoons cold water
• 2 cups blueberries
• 1 cup raspberries
• 1 cup blackberries
• 0.75 cups granulated sugar
• 3 tablespoons cornstarch
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 whole egg
• 1 tablespoon water (for egg wash)

Directions

Step 1

In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, and salt.

Step 2

Cut the cold butter into small cubes and add it to the flour mixture. Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, blend until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 3

Slowly add cold water, a tablespoon at a time, stirring with a fork until the dough begins to clump together. Divide the dough into two disks, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

Step 4

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 5

In another large bowl, combine the blueberries, raspberries, and blackberries. Add the sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice, and vanilla extract. Gently toss until the berries are evenly coated.

Step 6

On a lightly floured surface, roll out one disk of dough into a circle about 12 inches in diameter. Carefully transfer it to a 9-inch pie dish, pressing it gently into the bottom and up the sides.

Step 7

Pour the berry mixture into the prepared pie crust, spreading it out evenly.

Step 8

Roll out the second disk of dough into a 12-inch circle. Place it over the berries or cut it into strips to create a lattice top. If using a solid top crust, cut several small slits to let steam escape.

Step 9

Trim any excess dough around the edges, then crimp the edges of the crust together to seal.

Step 10

In a small bowl, beat the egg with 1 tablespoon of water. Brush this egg wash over the top crust for a golden finish.

Step 11

Place the pie on a baking sheet to catch any drips and bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.

Step 12

Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool for at least 2 hours to allow the filling to set.

Step 13

Slice and serve with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream, if desired.
