Featured with this recipe
This Easy Berry Pie is… well, so easy! It’s a recipe I make again and again, and I recommend it to new bakers. The triple berry pie is a perfect recipe to ease into the art of making pies. My family loves it. It makes the whole house smell good while it is baking in the oven and the berry flavors combine beautifully. Who knew this berry pie recipe would be so simple to throw together a pie for dessert?
Ingredients in Berry Pie
One of the things I love most about this recipe is that it uses frozen berries. This makes it possible to enjoy a delicious berry pie anytime of the year. The natural juices that come from the berries as they thaw provide all of the moisture needed for the glaze in the pie filling. The filling sets up so well and stays inside the first cut piece of pie and doesn’t spill out onto the plate. I hate it when that happens! So here’s all you need to get started:
- Pie dough crusts – more on pie crust in a bit, but you can find good tasting frozen pie crusts at the grocery store. Or make your own with our simple Perfect Pie Crust recipe.
- Blackberries – about one and a half cups. You can use boysenberries too.
- Blueberries – Make sure to buy frozen berries without added sugar in them or the pie could taste too sweet.
- Raspberries – again, I like using frozen for this pie.
- Sugar – white, granulated sugar
- Cornstarch – this will help thicken the luscious pie filling
- Salt
Tips for the Pie Crust
If you’ve followed our recipe for the Perfect Pie Crust you know it turns out flaky and beautiful every time! This is because of just a few simple steps we follow:
- First, sift the flour, salt, baking powder, and sugar together.
- Next, “cut” or crumble part of the shortening or cold butter into the flour mixture. You can use a pastry blender or even your fingers, but make sure your shortening or butter is really cold.
- Once the mixture is crumbly, add the rest of the shortening.
- Work the fat into the flour mixture until it has formed about pea sized crumbles.
- After you add the wet ingredients, DO NOT over mix. Handle the dough as little as possible. No kneading! You want it to just be able to hold together before using a rolling pin to roll the dough on a lightly floured surface.
If you want to skip this part and use store bought crusts, do it! There are several tasty options in the refrigerated section of your grocery store. The Pillsbury Pie Crusts that come in the tube work great! Or find frozen pie crusts in the freezer section. Place the bottom crust in a 9-inch pie dish, add the filling, then add the top crust to the pie pan. You can crimp the edges, cut a strip of dough for a lattice look, or sprinkle a little bit of sugar on top of the crust.
Frequently Asked Questions about Berry Pie
Use a mixture of cornstarch and cold water to thicken the pie filling. Cornstarch will give the filling a nice shiny look.
Cornstarch has twice the thickening power of flour, so you won’t need as much. Cornstarch also makes the filling glossy. Flour also thickens great but leaves more of a matte finish.
A Berry Pie is actually best stored at ROOM TEMPERATURE. Don’t cover the pie, either. Plastic wrap or foil trap moisture in the crust, making it soggy. It’ll stay good on the counter for about five days.

- Pour on top of thawed berries and mix well. The berry/sugar mixture will be thick.

- Add the top crust. Cut slits in the top crust or use cookie cutters to decorate. Press pie edge with a fork to seal the top and bottom crusts together.

Beautiful pie. Looks tasty and perfectly flavored. I love fruity pies so I’m going to add this on my list to make this weekend. Thanks!
I’m new to pie baking so this is the perfect recipe for me! I love that in under an hour I can be enjoying delicious warm pie! Perfect Fall dessert!
Easy, yummy. We all enjoyed it. Thank you!
Would a frozen pie crust for base and frozen filo for top work?
I think so! Let me know how it goes if you try it!
Yes ,I did,worked out great
This is nice and easy and I have frozen berries in my freezer from last summer. I used 2/3 marionberries and 1/3 boysenberries. I used a 9 1/2 ” glass pie plate that is about 2 ” tall. I used 1.5 times the recipe and it worked out great. I would definitely recommend this recipe.
This pie was amazing. We were testing for thanksgiving and definetely going to make it again.
I loved this pie! It has such a perfectly intense berry flavor. This is a keeper!
We made this recipe and it was delicious! What I liked about is that it uses frozen berries and all the ingredients are easy to get. Thank you for sharing this well worth the effort to make!
I am using fresh berries, 6 oz blueberry, raspberry and blackberry. Do I follow the same recipe as the frozen berry recipe?
We typically use frozen berries in this recipe. The juices that you get when they are thawing help the filling get to the right texture. So, I’m not sure how it would work with fresh berries. Let us know how it works if you do try it!
This is such a gorgeous and delicious pie! I loved it!
Had a lot of frozen berries in the freezer so decided to make this pie. Soooo good! Turned out beautiful!
Thank you! I’m so happy you liked it! 🙂
Thank you for making a pie recipe that’s so easy to follow and completely not intimidating to try! You make me look like a rockstar in front of my family!!!
I am using store bought crust and I have plenty. But similarly to Judy above I have a 10” glass pan. Should I double the filling?
A 10 inch pie plate holds about 1/3 more filling than a 9 inch. So times the measurements by 1.3. Hope this helps!
Oh do I need help!! Just made this pie and your crust. Still in the oven, used a 10″ glass pie pan. I doubled the crust recipe still did not have enough dough, should I have tripled for a 10″ pan? Thank you for responding.
Judy
It is surprising what a difference 1 inch makes when it comes to pie pans. It probably would be a good idea to triple the dough recipe next time if you want a full cover for the crust. If you don’t want to triple the recipe, you can use the remaining dough and do something decorative on the top – use cookie cutouts to make some heart shapes or make a lattice top. The berry filling sets up really well and doesn’t require a top, it just looks nicer with one – and tastes good too.
I’m getting a new fridge so wanting to clean out the freezer, I used frozen crusts, approx. 5 cups total of mixed boysenberries, blueberries and cranberries. I chopped the frozen cranberries in the food processor first. Added a bit of grated ginger root and a dash of cinnamon.
It turned out perfect! The consistency is firm and not runny, and it’s not too sweet or too tart. Will be making more of these.
Can you substitute blackberries, boysenberries, raspberries or a combination of any of the three for blueberries?
Absolutely! That would be crazy delicious!
I just need to know how to make a strawberry pie a fast way to make a creme strawberry pie
I recommend using fresh strawberries if you are making a strawberry pie. If you are looking for a fast way to do it, you can buy a pre-made glaze found in the produce section of most grocery stores. Good luck!
