Ingredients
For the crust:
- ½ cup (113g) unsalted butter, softened
- ⅓ cup (67g) granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 cup (124g) all purpose flour
- ¾ cup water
For the filling:
- 3 cups frozen berries any kind, thawed and drained well (fresh is fine too)
- ⅓ cup (67g) granulated sugar
- ½ teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon (8g) cornstarch
- Whipped cream or ice cream for serving, optional
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F. Spray a 9.5-inch pie plate with nonstick cooking spray. (You can probably use a 9-inch but don't go any smaller.)
MAKE THE CRUST
- Beat butter until smooth with a hand mixer in a large bowl.
- Mix in the sugar, egg, salt, and baking powder. Add the water and flour and mix until smooth.
MAKE THE FILLING
- Sprinkle sugar, cinnamon, and cornstarch over berries, gently toss to coat.
- Pour crust batter into pie plate, then place the berries in the center. Try to get the berries in a single layer, but leave a 1-inch border to form the edge of the "crust".
- Bake for 45-55 minutes or until golden brown and a toothpick comes out dry from the edges. The center will still be somewhat wet looking because of the berries.
- Cool completely before slicing and serving. Serve with whipped cream or ice cream if desired.
- Store tightly covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
