Ingredients

• 2.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 0.75 cup Coconut oil (solid, not melted)
• 6 tablespoons Ice-cold water
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 5 cups Mixed fresh or frozen berries (e.g., strawberries, blueberries, raspberries)
• 0.75 cup Sugar
• 3 tablespoons Cornstarch
• 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 2 tablespoons Almond milk (for brushing crust)
• 1 tablespoon Turbinado sugar (optional, for sprinkling)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour and salt.

Step 3

Add the solid coconut oil to the flour mixture, using a pastry cutter or your hands to work it in until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 4

Gradually add the ice-cold water, one tablespoon at a time, mixing gently after each addition until the dough comes together. Be careful not to overwork the dough.

Step 5

Divide the dough into two equal portions, shape them into discs, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

Step 6

While the dough chills, prepare the berry filling. In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the mixed berries, sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice, and vanilla extract.

Step 7

Cook the filling for 5-7 minutes, stirring often, until the mixture thickens and becomes glossy. Remove from heat and let cool.

Step 8

On a floured surface, roll out one portion of the dough into a 12-inch circle. Carefully transfer it to a 9-inch pie dish, pressing it gently into the edges.

Step 9

Pour the cooled berry mixture evenly into the pie crust.

Step 10

Roll out the second portion of dough into another 12-inch circle. Carefully lay it over the filling, or cut it into strips for a lattice pattern.

Step 11

Trim the excess dough, then pinch the edges together to seal and create a decorative crust edge.

Step 12

Brush the top crust with almond milk and sprinkle with turbinado sugar, if desired.

Step 13

Cut small slits into the top crust to allow steam to escape.

Step 14

Bake the pie for 45-50 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.

Step 15

Let the pie cool at room temperature for at least 2 hours before slicing and serving.
