Celebrate summer's bounty with this vibrant mixed berry pie featuring a perfectly flaky crust and naturally sweet filling.

Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).
In a large bowl, gently combine strawberries, blueberries, and raspberries.

Add sugar mixture to berries along with lemon juice and zest. Toss gently.
Roll out bottom crust and place in 9-inch pie pan.
Fill with berry mixture and dot with butter pieces.
Cover with top crust and crimp edges to seal. Cut several vents.
Brush with beaten egg and sprinkle with coarse sugar.
Bake for 20 minutes, then reduce to 375°F (190°C) and bake 35-40 minutes more.
Cool completely before serving, at least 4 hours.
Tips
- Mix different berries based on what is in season for the best flavor.
- Place pie on a baking sheet to catch any overflow.
- If edges brown too quickly, cover with aluminum foil.
- The filling should be bubbling in the center when done.
