Rustic Four Berry Pie
This post may contain affiliate links. Please read my disclosure policy.
The inspiration for this pie came from the latest issue of the Rachael Ray magazine. I just had to try this summer time treat especially since the crust is rustic, which looks like a lot less fussing around. It reminds me of a French galette, only it’s baked in a dish to contain all that juicy berry filling.

Ingredients
- 2 pre-rolled pie crusts, or make your own pastry
- 2 containers (6 oz. each) of blackberries
- 1 cup sugar, plus more for sprinkling
- 1/4 cup quick-cooking (not pearl) tapioca
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 1-2 teaspoons fresh lemon zest
- 1 container (6 oz.) raspberries
- 1 container (6 oz.) blueberries
- 8 oz. strawberries (about two cups), quartered
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into cubes
- 1 large egg white
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine 1 cup blackberries, 1/4 cup sugar, the tapioca, lemon juice, and lemon zest and mash with a potato masher. Stir in strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, remaining blackberries, and 3/4 sugar. Let stand for at least 20 minutes, gently stirring once or twice.
- Meanwhile, preheat oven to 400*F. Roll pie crust to 13" if you make your own. If you're using pre-rolled crusts, I would recommend putting the nine inch crust in and then attaching the additional crust. Leave the excess crust hanging over the edge of a 9" pie pan.
- Spoon the berry mixture evenly into the pan, making sure to pour in all the juices that have collected in the bowl. Dot the top with butter. Gently fold the pastry up over the berries, pleating as you go around.
- In a small bowl, beat the egg white with a fork until frothy. With a pastry brush, lightly glaze the pastry all over with the egg white. Sprinkle the dough generously with sugar.
- Bake the pie at 400*F until the berry filling is bubbling, about an hour. Check after 40 minutes and if the crust is browning too quickly, cover loosely with a sheet of foil.
- Let the pie cool completely, at least four hours, before cutting and serving with scoops of ice cream (or frozen yogurt.

Love your picture! Looks very tasty and homemade…which is great.. even though you made the crust. That is one of the things I need to learn to do too. Plus I need a surface to roll it out on. I have those tile grouted counters that just aren’t friendly for lots of cooking from scratch!

This looks fantastic and it's your first pie?! That's pretty amazing. I won't even begin to tell you what my first 10 or so looked like. You are very talented. Sometimes we just have to use a store bought crust. It's OK! Trader Joe's has a great one.

This pie looks delicious! I don't always make my own crust either, but usually I am more concerned about the filling anyway:-)

Ooh, I love tart desserts. The rustic look makes it seem (I think) even more appetizing in your lovely pictures!

This is gorgeous- the photos, the freshness of it all. I love a homemade pie, tart, you name it. Summer is on her way :)

I don't care if it's rustic looking or not, it sounds (and looks) delicious to me!! I love all the berries… a great homage to summer (which I hear is coming soon!)
RecipeGirl says
lol, have you ever made a rustic galette? Sounds like that might be more your style! I'm crust-challenged, at best. Definitely loving all of the cheap berries at Costco right now!
