   Add butter and ice-cold water and pulse until the dough just holds together when pinched.

4. 4

10. 10

    Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

11. 11

    Place ½ of the dough on floured surface and roll into a 12” circle (you may need to let it rest for a few minutes to soften enough to roll it).

12. 12

    Transfer to 9” round pie plate.

13. 13

    Repeat with the rest of the dough and form into your desired top shape (lattice, solid sheet with an “X” cut in the center, etc.). Set aside.

14. 14

    Pour the berry filling into the bottom pie crust. Then place the top crust and on the top of the filling. Pinch the sides together.

15. 15

    In a small bowl, whisk together the egg yolk and cream and lightly brush the entire pie crust with the egg wash.

16. 16

    --- Bake & Cool ---

17. 17

    Place a pie crust shield or aluminum foil over the outer crust of your pie to protect it from burning. (Remove shield in the last 10-15 minutes of baking if it doesn’t begin to brown under the shield)

18. 18

    Bake the mixed berry pie in the preheated oven on the lower rack for 60-70 minutes, or until the filling begins to bubble and the crust/top is lightly browned.

19. 19

    Place the baked pie on a wire rack to cool for at least 3 hours. Serve at room temperature.
