Blueberry filling
- 1 pint fresh blueberries, about 2 cups
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- ½ teaspoon lemon zest
Strawberry filling
- 3 containers (16 ounces each) fresh strawberries, washed, dried, hulled, and quartered (about 5 cups cut strawberries)
- ¾ cup (150 g) granulated sugar
- ¼ cup (32 g) cornstarch
- 2 teaspoons lemon juice
Topping
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon water
- 1 tablespoon turbinado sugar
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. (This is to set the cut-out dough shapes.)
Roll out all of the pie dough into a large rectangle that is about ¼-inch thick.
From the rolled-out dough, cut out your berry wall, stars, and stripes.
Crust
Spray a 10x15-inch sheet pan with nonstick cooking spray.
Roll out the remaining dough into a rectangle that will fit in and up the sides of your sheet pan. Press the crust into the prepared pan.
Place the cut-out shapes and the crust into the refrigerator as you prepare the filling.
Preheat oven to 400°F.
Blueberries
In a medium bowl combine blueberries, sugar, brown sugar, cornstarch, and lemon zest. Stir to combine. Set aside.
Strawberries
In a separate bowl combine strawberries, sugar, cornstarch, and lemon juice. Stir to combine. Set aside.
Assembly
Remove the crust and shapes from the refrigerator. Using the dough strip for the berry wall, create a 5x6-inch rectangular barrier in the upper lefthand corner of the crust.
Using a slotted spoon to discard any extra liquid, place the blueberries into the smaller, walled-off section of the crust.
Next, using a clean slotted spoon to discard extra liquid, scoop the strawberries into the larger space, spreading them out evenly over the crust.
Place the cut-out stars on top of the blueberries. Then, place the stripes on top of the strawberries, placing the shorter stripes on top and the longer stripes on the bottom.
Baking
Bake for 45-50 minutes. Cover the pie with aluminum foil in the last 10-15 minutes if browning too quickly. When done, the filling will be bubbling and the crust will be golden brown.
Remove from the oven and let the pie cool for at least an hour before serving.
