Time 2h35m

Yield Makes six 5-inch pies

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 disks Pate Brisee for Summer Berry Pies
All-purpose flour, for surface
7 1/2 cups mixed raspberries and sliced strawberries, or blueberries and blackberries
1 cup plus 2 tablespoons sugar
1/4 cup cornstarch
1/4 cup fresh lemon juice (from 2 lemons)
Salt
2 large egg yolks
2 tablespoons heavy cream
Sanding sugar, for sprinkling

Steps:

  • Roll out 1 disk pate brisee to about 1/8-inch thickness on a lightly floured surface. Cut out six 6-inch circles. Press dough into bottoms and up sides of six 5-inch (1 1/4 inches deep) pie plates. Trim excess dough flush with edges of pie plates using a knife, or crimp edges.
  • Stir together berries, sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice, and a pinch of salt. Fill pie shells with berry filling.
  • Whisk together yolks and cream. Roll out remaining disk of dough to about 1/8-inch thickness on a lightly floured surface; cut out stars and stripes using cookie cutters, a knife, or a pastry wheel. Decorate tops of pies with cutouts, brushing bottoms with egg wash to help them adhere. Freeze for 1 hour.
  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Brush tops of pies with egg wash, and sprinkle with sanding sugar. Transfer to a parchment-lined rimmed baking sheet.
  • Bake until juices are bubbling and tops are golden brown, 45 to 50 minutes. (Tent with foil if crusts are getting too dark.) Let cool.

I'm not a big fan of pies, but these were really good! The crust was crispy and the berries were sweet and tart. I would definitely recommend them.

This recipe was easy to follow and the pies turned out beautifully. The crust was golden brown and the berries were bursting with flavor. I added a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top and it was the perfect summer dessert.

These pies were a huge hit at our 4th of July party! The berries were so fresh and juicy, and the crust was flaky and delicious. I'll definitely be making these again next year.
