Instructions
Make double crust pastry dough using my Pie Pastry Recipe. Cut into 2 portions and refrigerate.
Preheat oven to 400℉.
In a large bowl combine all berries (frozen and/or fresh). The portions listed work amazingly well but as long as there are 7 cups total you'll be set. Add in arrowroot powder, fresh squeezed lemon juice, ground cinnamon, vanilla and almond extracts, and maple syrup.
Roll out 1 portion of pie pastry for the base, letting dough stretch out to lip of pie plate. Pour fruit mixture into the base. Cut up 1 tablespoon of butter and drop them on the top of the fruit.
Roll out 2nd portion of pie pastry. Place on top of fruit and pinch together edges of base and top. If it doesn't seem to be sealing add a bit of water to stick together. Flute edges.
Whisk together egg and 2 teaspoon water. Lightly brush egg wash on top of pastry. Cut small designs into the top to allow for heat to escape.
Cover edges of crust with foil. Bake on middle rack for 35 minutes. Remove foil and continue baking for about 8-10 more minutes or until crust is light brown and crisping up. Let pie cool before slicing. If you attempt to cut it right away it will run but quickly stiffens up when cooled to cut neatly.
