Deliciously Sweet Bumbleberry Pie: A Must-Try Recipe!

Indulge in the delightful medley of berries with our bumbleberry pie recipe. The perfect balance of sweet and tart flavors makes this pie a family favorite, great for any occasion.

Ingredients

• 2 1/2 cups mixed berries (such as blueberries, raspberries, and blackberries)
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon lemon zest
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
• 2 9-inch pie crusts, homemade or store-bought
• 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
• 1 tablespoon granulated sugar (for sprinkling on top)

Baking Instructions

1. Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Prepare the Filling: In a large bowl, combine the mixed berries, sugar, flour, lemon juice, lemon zest, vanilla extract, and cinnamon until well mixed.
3. Prepare the Pie Crust: Place one pie crust in a 9-inch pie dish, pressing it against the bottom and sides. Trim excess dough to leave a 1-inch overhang and refrigerate while preparing the filling.
4. Fill the Pie: Pour the berry mixture into the crust, spreading it evenly. Dot with small pieces of butter.
5. Top it Off: Roll out the second pie crust and place it over the filling. Trim and crimp the edges to seal, then cut a few slits in the top for steam to escape.
6. Finish with Egg Wash: Brush the top crust with beaten egg and sprinkle with sugar for a golden finish.
7. Bake: Place the pie on a baking sheet to catch drips and bake for 45-55 minutes, until the crust is golden and the filling is bubbling. Cover edges with foil if they brown too quickly.
8. Cool: Let the pie cool for at least 2 hours before slicing to ensure the filling sets.
