Ingredients

• 1.5 cups Gluten-free all-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.75 cup Unsalted butter
• 4 tablespoons Ice water
• 4 cups Frozen mixed berries
• 3 tablespoons Cornstarch
• 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1 Egg
• 1 tablespoon Coarse sugar

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

In a mixing bowl, combine the gluten-free all-purpose flour, 2 tablespoons of sugar, and salt.

Step 3

Cut the unsalted butter into cubes and add them to the flour mixture. Use a pastry blender or your hands to incorporate the butter into the flour until it resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 4

Gradually add the ice water, one tablespoon at a time, mixing until the dough holds together when pressed. You may not need all the water.

Step 5

Shape the dough into a disc, wrap it in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

Step 6

In a large saucepan, combine the frozen mixed berries, cornstarch, and remaining sugar.

Step 7

Cook over medium heat, stirring frequently, until the berries are juicy and the mixture thickens, approximately 5-7 minutes.

Step 8

Remove the berry mixture from the heat and stir in the lemon juice and vanilla extract. Set aside to cool slightly.

Step 9

Once the dough is chilled, roll it out on a floured surface to fit a 9-inch pie plate. Carefully transfer the dough to the pie plate, trimming any excess dough.

Step 10

Pour the berry filling into the pie crust, spreading it evenly.

Step 11

If desired, cut leftover dough into strips and create a lattice design on top of the filling. Alternatively, cover with a full top crust, making slits to allow steam to escape.

Step 12

Beat the egg and brush it over the top crust or lattice, then sprinkle with coarse sugar for added sweetness and crunch.

Step 13

Bake the pie in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.

Step 14

Allow the pie to cool on a wire rack for at least an hour before slicing. This will help the filling set properly.

Step 15

Serve your gluten-free berry pie warm or at room temperature with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream if desired.
