Triple Berry Skillet Pie Recipes

TRIPLE BERRY SKILLET PIE

Steps:

• 1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spread 1-2 TBSP butter evenly on bottom of a 9-10 inch cast iron skillet. Line skillet bottom and sides of skillet with one of the crusts. NOTE: You will need to gently stretch up the sides and the crust will not go all the way up the sides. Prick sides and bottom with fork. Bake for 5-7 minutes and remove from oven. INCREASE oven temp to 375 degrees
• 2. In large bowl, MIX dry ingredients. In separate bowl, mix together the berries, 2 TBSP cubed butter and water, coating well. Pour dry ingredients into berry mixture and mix thoroughly. Pour into the skillet bottom crust.
• 3. Place top crust over the berries. Turn edges under to connect with bottom crust, using a little water to seal edges. Use a spoon or fork to gently press crusts together. Cut slits into top crust.
• 4. Lightly brush egg wash on top of crust. Distribute 1 TBSP of remaining butter cubes on top of the crust. Sprinkle top with the coarse sugar. Place foil or pie shield around edge of crust to prevent over-browning. Place skillet on a baking tray in hot oven and BAKE for 30 minutes at 375-degrees. Reduce heat to 350-degrees, remove pie shield/foil and return to oven for 30 more minutes or until top crust is golden brown and berry juice is bubbling.
• 5. Cool for about 30 minutes and serve warm with vanilla ice cream. Store leftover pie in refrigerator.

THREE BERRY PIE

Steps:

• Combine the flour and salt. Using a pastry blender, cut in the shortening until the pieces are the size of small peas. Sprinkle 1 tablespoon of the water over part of the mixture, then gently toss with a fork. Push moistened portion to the side of the bowl. Repeat, using 1 tablespoon of water at a time, until all is moistened. Divide the dough in half. Form each half into a ball and flatten slightly. Wrap in plastic and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
• Transfer one piece of dough to a lightly floured surface. Roll the dough from the center to the edges to form a 12-inch circle. Wrap the crust around the rolling pin. Unroll it onto a 9-inch pie plate. Ease the crust into the pie plate, being careful not to stretch it. Trim the bottom crust evenly with the rim of the pie plate, and return the pastry-lined pie plate to the refrigerator.
• In a large mixing bowl, stir together the sugar and cornstarch. Add the strawberries, raspberries, and blueberries; gently toss until berries are coated. Allow fruit mixture to stand for about 15 minutes.
• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Place a baking sheet in the oven to preheat.
• Roll out the remaining pastry for the top crust. Stir the berry mixture and pour the filling into the pastry-lined pie plate. Place the top crust over the pie and trim the edges, leaving a 1/2-inch overhang. Fold the top crust under the bottom crust, pressing lightly to seal. Crimp the edges of the crust and cut vents in the top to allow steam to escape. To prevent over-browning, cover the edge of the pie with foil.
• Bake in the preheated oven on the baking tray for 25 minutes. Remove the foil.
• Bake for an additional 20 to 30 minutes, or until the filling is bubbling and the crust is golden. Cool on a wire rack.

Steps:

• Ease one disc of pie dough into an ungreased 9-inch pie pan. Refrigerate while you prepare the filling.
• Combine the brown sugar and lemon zest in a medium bowl. Rub together until fully incorporated. Add the cornstarch, nutmeg and salt and mix well. Add the raspberries, blackberries and blueberries and gently toss to coat with the sugar mixture. Set aside.
• To make a stencil, print out a Pi symbol that is about 4 1/2 by 5 1/2 inches. Trace the symbol onto the back of a paper plate. Cut out the symbol. You now have your template.
• Place a disc of dough on a lightly floured surface. Lightly flour the pie crust and place the template in the center. Cut out the Pi symbol and remove it carefully from the disc. Leave the remaining dough on the work surface.
• Add the lemon juice to the bowl of berries and gently toss until incorporated.
• Remove the pie pan from the refrigerator and spoon the berry mixture into it. Top the pie with the disc of dough you cut the Pi symbol from. Seal the edges and use a paring knife trim away any excess dough. Place the pie in the freezer.
• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Lightly dust your work surface again with flour if needed. Place the third disc of dough on the surface. Punch out six each of the following, making the digits about 2 inches high: 3 •̣ 1 4.
• Make an egg wash by beating the egg and 1 tablespoon water until smooth in a small bowl. Remove the pie from the freezer and brush the top with the egg wash. Place the numbers and dots around the edges of the pie in this order 3 • 14, repeating until you have used them all. Brush the top with egg wash again.
• Place the pie pan on a baking sheet. Bake until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling, about 50 minutes. Allow the pie to cool completely on the sheet pan before slicing.
