EASY BERRY PIE WITH FROZEN BERRIES



Easy Berry Pie with Frozen Berries image

Using frozen berries means you can make this easy pie year-round. Precooking the filling means you get perfect consistency (no more runny pies) and the cook time on the crust is perfect! I prefer to spell things in the top crust like "I love you."

Time 2h

Yield 8

Tips:

  • Choose ripe, sweet berries for the best flavor. If possible, buy organic berries in season.
  • Don't overmix the pie dough. Overmixing will make the dough tough. Just mix until the ingredients are combined and the dough comes together.
  • If you don't have time to chill the pie dough before baking, you can still make the pie. Just be sure to roll it out on a lightly floured surface and handle it as little as possible.
  • Bake the pie in a preheated oven. This will help ensure that the crust cooks evenly.
  • Don't overbake the pie. The filling should be bubbly and the crust should be golden brown.
  • Let the pie cool completely before serving. This will allow the filling to set and the flavors to meld.

Conclusion:

This easy berries and cream pie is a delicious and refreshing treat that is perfect for any occasion. Whether you're serving it at a summer picnic or a holiday party, this pie is sure to be a hit.
