A freshly baked pie, bursting with berries and fragrant with juice, is to summer what hot chocolate is to winter: a classic that captures the season in edible form. Too many of us forget how easy this delicious dessert is to make. The crust is fun for kids to mix and roll out, and the filling overflows with vitamin- and antioxidant-packed berries.

What You Need:

  • 1½ cups flour
  • ¾ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ cup unsalted butter, chilled*
  • ¼ cup + 2 tbsp vegetable shortening*
  • Ice water
  • 1 cup sugar (adjust according to sweetness of berries)
  • 5 tbsp flour
  • ½ tsp cinnamon
  • dash salt
  • 4 cups blackberries, rinsed
  • vanilla
  • coarse (turbinado) sugar, optional
