Instructions

  1. Prepare the Pie Crust
    Begin by placing one portion of your pie crust into a pie pan. Press it gently to line the bottom and sides of the pan, ensuring an even layer.

  2. Combine the Berries
    In a large mixing bowl, combine the fresh blueberries and blackberries. Gently stir the berries to mix them evenly.

  3. Add the Sugar and Flour
    Sprinkle the sugar, flour, and cinnamon over the mixed berries. Stir the mixture thoroughly, making sure the berries are evenly coated. The flour helps to thicken the berry juices as the pie bakes, while the sugar and cinnamon enhance the natural sweetness and flavor of the berries.

  4. Assemble the Pie
    Pour the berry mixture into the prepared pie crust. Once the filling is evenly distributed, dot the top of the berries with small pieces of butter. This will help create a rich, buttery flavor as the pie bakes.

  5. Top the Pie
    Place the second pie crust on top of the berry mixture. You can either fully cover the pie or get creative with a lattice top for a classic look. If using a full top crust, be sure to cut small slits to allow steam to escape while baking.

  6. Bake the Pie
    Preheat your oven to 350ยฐF (175ยฐC). Place the pie on the center rack and bake for 45 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling and thickened. Keep an eye on the pie as it bakes, and if the edges of the crust begin to brown too quickly, cover them with aluminum foil.

  7. Cool and Serve
    Once the pie is baked, remove it from the oven and let it cool for at least 15-20 minutes before slicing. This helps the filling to set and makes for cleaner slices. Serve with a generous scoop of vanilla ice cream to take this dessert to the next level.


Additional Tips:

  • Pie Crust: If youโ€™re using store-bought pie crusts, make sure to use one that is high-quality for the best results. Homemade crusts can add a special touch, too!
  • Fresh or Frozen Berries: This recipe works well with both fresh and frozen berries. If using frozen berries, make sure to thaw them and drain off any excess liquid before adding them to the pie filling.
  • Spice Variations: While cinnamon is a classic choice, you can experiment with a pinch of nutmeg or allspice to enhance the flavor.
  • Serving Ideas: This pie is excellent on its own or with whipped cream, but for a fun twist, try serving it with a side of lemon curd or a dollop of yogurt.
