This simple berry pie is a great way to highlight fruits as they come into season. If you are lucky enough to have last year’s berries tucked in the freezer, this is an easy dessert year-round. Topped with whipped cream, ice cream, or simply eaten warm straight from the pan, any way you serve it, this is a treat.
The pie works beautifully with blueberries and blackberries both, and please don’t stress over the lattice crust. If I can roll out a crust and top this pie in about 5 minutes, so can you! I’m almost always in favor of calling things “rustic,” making a very easy (and usually messy) crust works for me. Obviously, “pastry maker extraordinaire” has never been my goal. For true inspiration, check out my friend Kirsten’s post with gorgeous step-by-step photos for making a perfect lattice pie crust! This pie is one of the recipes I made with my sister, Jenny, last month. It’s so much fun having someone else’s hands to photograph! Thanks again for playing in the kitchen with me, sis. Here’s hoping that one day we’ll be lucky enough to live in the same city once again. If you’re looking for a gluten free recipe, you’ll want to use the pie crust recipe here.
