Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
- 1/4 cup ice water
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup mixed berries (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries)
- 1/2 cup sliced peaches
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 egg (for egg wash)
- 1 tablespoon coarse sugar (for sprinkling)
Instructions
- Prepare the Pie Crust: In a large bowl, combine the flour and salt. Add the cold, cubed butter and use a pastry cutter or your fingers to mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Gradually add the ice water, one tablespoon at a time, mixing until the dough comes together. Divide the dough into two discs, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
- Prepare the Filling: In a medium bowl, combine the mixed berries, sliced peaches, granulated sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice, and vanilla extract. Mix well to coat the fruit evenly and set aside.
- Assemble the Pie: Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). On a lightly floured surface, roll out one disc of dough to fit a 9-inch pie dish. Transfer the rolled-out dough to the pie dish and trim any excess dough hanging over the edges. Pour the fruit filling into the pie crust, spreading it out evenly. Roll out the second disc of dough and cut it into strips to create a lattice pattern on top of the pie. Place the strips over the filling, weaving them together to form a lattice. Trim any excess dough and crimp the edges to seal.
- Bake the Pie: In a small bowl, beat the egg and brush it over the top crust. Sprinkle coarse sugar over the egg wash for added sparkle and crunch. Bake the pie in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly. Allow the pie to cool on a wire rack before serving.
