A delightful twist on the classic Saskatoon pie, this recipe enhances the flavors and simplifies the process for a perfect dessert.
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
Preheating ensures the pie bakes evenly from the start.
In a saucepan, combine the Saskatoon berries and water. Simmer over medium heat for about 10 minutes until the berries release their juices.
Stir occasionally to prevent the berries from sticking to the pan.
Stir in the vanilla extract and lemon juice, mixing well.
Adding these ingredients enhances the berry flavor.
In a small bowl, mix the sugar and flour together. Gradually add this mixture to the berries, stirring constantly until thickened.
Ensure there are no lumps in the sugar-flour mixture for a smooth filling.
Pour the berry mixture into a pie dish lined with one of the pie crusts.
Spread the filling evenly for consistent baking.
Dot the filling with butter, then cover with the second pie crust. Seal and flute the edges, and cut slits in the top crust for ventilation.
The slits allow steam to escape, preventing a soggy crust.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes. Reduce the temperature to 350°F (175°C) and bake for an additional 35-45 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown.
Check the pie halfway through to ensure even browning.
Let the pie cool for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the filling to set.
Cooling ensures clean slices when serving.
