Recipe View Let the pie cool completely on a wire rack before slicing and serving. This allows the filling to set properly.

For the flakiest crust, ensure all your ingredients are very cold. You can even chill the flour and bowl before starting.
If the crust starts to brown too quickly during baking, tent it loosely with foil.
Feel free to add a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg to the berry filling for added warmth and depth of flavor.
Saskatoon berries can be quite tart, so adjust the amount of sugar in the filling to your liking.

    This pie is amazing! The crust was perfectly flaky and the filling was bursting with flavor. I added a hint of almond extract to the filling, and it was a hit!

  • Gustave Baumbach

    My family loved this pie! I couldn't find saskatoon berries, so I used frozen blueberries instead, and it still turned out great. Thanks for sharing!

  • Pascale Thompson

    I've made this pie twice now, and it's always a crowd-pleaser. The instructions are clear and easy to follow, even for a novice baker like me.
