How to make the Fresh Berry Slab Pie

Prepare the crust:

• If you are using a store-bought pie crust, lay it out on the counter so it can come to room temperature.
• If you are making a homemade crust, prepare that recipe now.

• First thing to do is Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.
• then you will need to lightly flour your work surface and lay both pieces of your pie dough on top of each other and roll out your pie dough to fit your sheet/jelly roll pan. One you have it the correct thickness gently roll the dough around your rolling pin and transfer it to the jelly roll pan.
• Trim the edges of the dough with a sharp knife. Crimp the pie crust around the edge of the pan and using a fork pierce the bottom and sides of the dough.
• Place either parchment paper or aluminum foil down on the crust and lay dried beans or pie weights on top of the crust.
• Bake for approx 10 minutes. Remove the foil and pie weights. Place back into the oven and bake for another 5 to 7 minutes.
• Let the crust cool.

Prepare the Berries:

• While the crust is cooling, wash, hull, and dice the berries.
• In a large bowl, add the strawberries, blueberries and raspberries, lemon juice, corn starch, sugar, and salt. Stir to mix everything together. Then Set aside.

Prepare the Top:

• Next you will need to roll out the top layer of pie dough. then cut out the lattice or your preferred shapes. I like the look of the lattice.
• Then in a small bowl, whisk together the egg and one tablespoon of water to create an egg wash.
• Now to assemble the berry slab pie, spread the berry mixture over the bottom crust. Then add cubed butter over the top of the berries. Now the fun part top the berries with the lattice crust or preferred shapes. I used stars, this dessert would be perfect a patriotic or 4th July party.
• Brush the pastry with the egg wash.
• Place in the over and bake at 375 degrees for approximately 50 minutes or until the crust is golden brown and the berries are nice and bubbly. You may need to cover the outer crust to prevent it from getting too brown.
• Once it is baked to your liking, take out of over and let it cool so the berry mixture can set a little. (it tastes delicious warm)
• Top with vanilla ice cream and serve, Enjoy!

Recipe notes and tips:

While the recipe is straightforward, it is always nice to have a few different tips and suggestions to make things easier. So here are some of the recipe notes and tips to help you out:

• If you’re using store-bought pie crusts, make sure they are thawed completely before using.
• When cutting out shapes to decorate the top of your slab pie (using a cookie cutter), it’s best to use a sharp knife to cut them out from the unbaked dough. It will give you the cleanest shapes.
• If you’re using homemade pie crust, chill it for about 30 minutes before rolling it out as this will make it easier to work with.
• If you want a golden-brown finish, brush the top with an egg wash (an egg beaten with 1 tablespoon of water). This will give it a nice shine and color.

Variations to try:

Like with many recipes there will always be variations to try. Here are a few suggestions.

• If you’re not a fan of any of the berries, simply replace them with another type of berry. Any combination will work as long as it equals the same amount.
• To make the pie even more special, sprinkle some chopped nuts on top before baking for added crunch and flavor.
• For a bit of sweetness and tartness, you can add some chopped rhubarb to the filling.
• If you’re looking for a healthier version of this pie, switch out the store-bought or homemade crust with an almond flour or coconut flour based one.
• You can also try other flavorings such as adding a teaspoon of ground cinnamon or nutmeg to the filling.
• If you’re feeling creative and courageous, try cutting out shapes from the top crust and place them strategically on top of the filling for a more decorative look.
• For a twist, swap out some of the white sugar for brown sugar. This will give it a richer flavor and a deeper color.
• To make the filling even more indulgent, add a tablespoon of almond or lemon extract to it before baking.
• If you’re not a fan of traditional pie crusts, try swapping out the top and bottom layer with a crumb topping made from oats, butter, and brown sugar. This will give it an oat-y crumble texture.
• To make it extra special, top with fresh whipped cream right before serving.
