A patriotic fourth-of-July triple berry pie made simple with easy ingredients!
Hey everyone! Chelsea back from Chelsea’s Messy Apron. The fourth of July is one of my family’s favorite holidays so I’m already getting geared up with all the food. I recently shared some 4-ingredient Patriotic Flag Bark on my site and then made this delicious Triple-Berry Pie.
Besides the obvious patriotism of the red and blue berries, I also did a star crust. Don’t be intimidated by the crust it is SO easy to make! You just use a regular cookie cutter to cut out star shapes and place them on top of the berries. Alternatively you can do the top crust how ever you typically do it if you can’t find a star cookie cutter.

Per your directions, I’m curious why you spray the pie pan with baking spray after you have put the bottom pie crust in the pie pan. Can you please clarify?
thanks,
I am equally confused on this.
hey girl yummy for my tummy!
Will the frozen berries render a considerable amount of juices? Do you discard the juices?
Made this pie…epic fail! I am wondering if the directions should say something about the extra liquid in the frozen fruit. My pie is runny! Any help you ca give would be great.
The cooking spray. Yeah, what’s up with that? As for the runny pie syndrome, drain the excess liquid or better yet use fresh fruit.
An aside, I have yet to have any of your recipes turn out unfavorably.
This was great! Thanks so much!
