Print Recipe

A quick and easy rustic dessert featuring a flaky buttery crust filled with fresh mixed berries, brightened with lemon zest and juice. Ready in just 10 minutes of prep and baked to golden perfection.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 sheet store-bought or homemade pie dough (about 9 inches diameter)
  • 2 cups mixed fresh berries (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, or blackberries)
  • 3 tablespoons granulated sugar, plus extra for sprinkling on crust
  • 1 teaspoon freshly grated lemon zest
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1 tablespoon cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
  • 1 large egg, beaten (for egg wash)
  • Coarse sugar (optional, for sprinkling on crust)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium bowl, gently toss 2 cups fresh mixed berries with 3 tablespoons sugar, 1 tablespoon lemon juice, 1 teaspoon lemon zest, and 1 tablespoon cornstarch. Let sit for about 5 minutes.
  3. Roll pie dough on a lightly floured surface into a roughly 12-inch circle. Transfer to the prepared baking sheet.
  4. Spoon the berry mixture into the center of the dough, leaving about a 2-inch border around the edges.
  5. Fold the dough edges up and over the berries, pleating as you go to create a rustic border.
  6. Dot the top of the berries with small pieces of cold butter.
  7. Brush the folded crust edges with beaten egg and sprinkle coarse sugar on top if desired.
  8. Bake for 35-40 minutes until crust is golden and berries are bubbling, rotating halfway through baking if needed.
  9. Let cool on the baking sheet for 10-15 minutes before slicing and serving.

Notes

If crust edges brown too quickly, tent loosely with foil halfway through baking. Use fresh or thawed and drained frozen berries to avoid soggy crust. Adjust sugar based on berry sweetness. For gluten-free, use gluten-free crust; for dairy-free, substitute butter with plant-based alternative. Vegan option: replace egg wash with plant-based milk and maple syrup glaze.
