Ingredients
- 2.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup unsalted butter (cold, cubed)
- 0.25 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 6 tablespoons ice water
- 1 cup strawberries (hulled and sliced)
- 1 cup blueberries
- 1 cup raspberries
- 1 cup blackberries
- 0.75 cup granulated sugar (for filling)
- 4 tablespoons cornstarch
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 egg
- 1 tablespoon milk
- 2 tablespoons coarse sugar (for sprinkling)
Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, and salt for the crust.
Step 2
Add the cold, cubed butter to the flour mixture. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to work the butter into the flour until it resembles coarse crumbs.
Step 3
Gradually add the ice water, one tablespoon at a time, mixing until the dough just comes together. Divide into two discs, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
Step 4
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Step 5
On a lightly floured surface, roll out one of the dough discs into a 12-inch circle. Carefully transfer it to a 9-inch pie dish, pressing it gently into the bottom and up the sides. Trim any excess dough, leaving about a 1-inch overhang.
Step 6
In a large bowl, combine the strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, and blackberries.
Step 7
Add the granulated sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice, and ground cinnamon to the mixed berries. Stir gently to coat the berries evenly.
Step 8
Pour the berry mixture into the prepared pie crust, spreading it out evenly.
Step 9
Roll out the second dough disc into a 12-inch circle. Place it over the filling, or cut it into strips to create a lattice pattern. If using a full crust, cut a few slits to allow steam to escape.
Step 10
Trim and crimp the edges of the top crust with the edge of the bottom crust to seal. For a decorative edge, use your fingers or a fork.
Step 11
In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and milk to create an egg wash. Brush it over the top crust and edges.
Step 12
Sprinkle the coarse sugar evenly over the top for added sweetness and crunch.
Step 13
Place the pie on a baking sheet to catch any drips. Bake in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.
Step 14
Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool for at least 2 hours before serving, allowing the filling to set properly.
Step 15
Slice and enjoy Lou Lou's Favourite Bumbleberry Pie with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream, if desired.
