4 from 78 reviews

This Berry Pie recipe combines a medley of fresh blueberries, blackberries, raspberries, and strawberries in a sweet, cinnamon-tinged filling, all nestled within a buttery, pre-baked pie crust. The filling is gently cooked on the stovetop to thicken before being poured into the crust and chilled until set. Perfectly balanced between sweet and tart, this pie is a refreshing dessert ideal for summer gatherings or any time you want a fruity, homemade treat.

  • Total Time: 40 minutes plus 6-8 hours chilling
  • Yield: 8 servings

Ingredients

Pie Crust

  • 1 pie crust of choice

Filling

  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup corn starch
  • 1 tablespoon salted butter (melted)
  • 1 cup fresh blueberries
  • 1 cup fresh blackberries
  • 1 1/2 cups fresh raspberries
  • 2 cups fresh strawberries (halved)
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Instructions

  1. Prebake the Pie Crust: Prepare and prebake the pie crust according to the packaging instructions or your favorite recipe for a single crust pie. This ensures the crust is crisp and doesn’t become soggy once the filling is added.
  2. Cook the Berry Filling: In a large saucepan over medium heat, combine the granulated sugar and corn starch. Stir in the melted salted butter, fresh blueberries, blackberries, raspberries, strawberries, lemon juice, and ground cinnamon. Continue to stir occasionally until the mixture comes to a boil and thickens, ensuring the cornstarch activates and the berries soften to form a luscious filling.
  3. Assemble the Pie: Remove the cooked filling from heat and pour it evenly into the prepared prebaked pie crust. Spread out the filling carefully to avoid spilling and create an even surface.
  4. Chill and Set: Allow the pie to cool completely on a wire rack, then refrigerate for 6 to 8 hours to fully set the filling. This resting period is essential to achieve the perfect sliceable texture.
  5. Serve: Serve your berry pie chilled, optionally scooping with ice cream or topping with whipped cream. Garnish with fresh mint leaves for an added touch of freshness and color.

Notes

  • Use fresh, ripe berries for the best flavor and texture; frozen berries can add excess moisture and make the filling runny.
  • Prebaking the pie crust is important to prevent sogginess from the moist filling.
  • Adjust sugar levels to taste, especially if your berries are particularly sweet or tart.
  • For a vegan version, substitute the butter with a plant-based alternative.
  • If you prefer a firmer filling, slightly increase the cornstarch to 1/3 cup.
  • The pie needs several hours chilling time; plan ahead to allow full setting before serving.
