Step By Step Instructions
Here is how to make and bake these mixed berry pie. This recipe needs rolling pin, cookie sheet with parchment paper, and a fork.
STEP 1: Make the filling. First, in a medium saucepan, mix the strawberries, blueberries, cornstarch, white sugar, lemon juice, ground cinnamon, and salt.
Cook the filling and mash the berries using the back of a wooden spoon or a potato masher. Light mash the berries.
Cook until thickens, and cool completely.
STEP 2: Thaw the pie dough. If the dough is refrigerated, let it sit on the counter for 15 minutes before rolling.
STEP 3: Roll the dough. Roll one sheet at a time on a lightly floured surface. Use a 3-inch or 3.5- inch biscuit cutter. You can knead and reroll the scraps of pie dough once to get an extra circles.
You will get 10 rectangles for the bottom crust.
STEP 4: Roll again. Roll the next sheet and cut into the same amount of circles. The only difference, is once you have your top circles, take the rolling pin and roll the circles, so they are a bit thinner. This helps to be able to place on top of the filling.
Use a sharp knife to cut two curvy lines into the top circles.
STEP 5: Fill. Make the egg wash and use a pastry brush to brush the edges of the bottom circle. Use 1 Tablespoon of berry filling on the bottom layer of circles. Place the top circles on top of the filling.
STEP 6: Prepare the pies. Use a fork to crimp the pies together. Chill in the fridge while the oven preheats.
STEP 7: Bake. Then, brush with an egg wash. Top with a good sprinkle of the course sugar on top of the pie. Then, bake for 15-19 minutes. Bake until the pies are golden brown.
Cool before eating.
Expert Baking Tips
- To quickly cool the filling, place in the freezer and freeze for 30 minutes. Stir every 10 minutes, so it cools evenly.
- Don't use a biscuit cutter that is smaller than 3-inches. I ended up using a 3.5-inch biscuit cutter.
FAQ
This is because you didn't cook the filling long enough.
Cornstarch will lead to best results for thickening. However, since the filling is small compared to a full pie, it should work.
You don't need to thaw the berries, they will thaw as they cook. You will just need to cook the pie filling for a longer time.

- Take the pie dough from the fridge and let it sit for 15 minutes. Place on a lightly floured surface and use a rolling pin to roll it out slightly. Roll out 1 pie sheet at a time.2 Sheets of Pie dough
- Use a 3 inch or 3.5 inch biscuit cutter to cut the bottom part of the pies. You can roll the pie scraps once to get more circles. I got 10 pies.
- Roll the next pie sheet and cut into the same circles, this will be the top of the pies. Roll each of these circles with a rolling pin, so they are slightly thinner and bigger. This will let the tops stretch over the filling.
- Use a sharp knife to cut two curve lines in the middle of top circles.
- Mix the egg and water together. Use a pastry brush to brush the edges of the bottom circles with egg wash. Use a tablespoon to scoop the filling on top of the bottom squares. Spread the filling over the center, but keep the edges clear.1 Large egg, 2 teaspoon Water
- Place the top circles on top. Use a fork to crimp the edges. Place the biscuit cutter over the pies and remove the extra pieces.Coarse sugar
- Preheat the oven to 400°F. Place the pies in the freezer while the oven preheats, so the pastry chills.
- Brush the egg wash on top of the pies. Sprinkle the coarse sugar on top. Bake for 15-19 minutes until the pastry is golden.
- Let the pies cool before eating.
