Method
Prepare the Pie Crust
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together flour, powdered sugar, and salt. Cut in vegetable shortening until the mixture resembles coarse meal. Gradually add water and vinegar, mixing until a dough forms. Chill for at least 30 minutes.
Roll Out the Dough
- Turn the chilled dough onto a lightly floured surface. Roll out half into a 12-inch circle, transfer to a pie plate, and trim excess dough. Refrigerate while preparing the filling.
Prepare the Filling
- In a large bowl, combine berries, diced apple, lemon juice, sugar, cornstarch, and a pinch of salt. Toss gently, let sit for 10 minutes while preheating the oven.
Assemble the Pie
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Fill the chilled pie crust with the berry mixture, roll out the second half of the dough, and place over the filling. Trim and secure edges, and create slits in the top crust for steam to escape.
Bake the Pie
- Brush the top crust with beaten egg white. Bake for 50-55 minutes until crust is golden brown and filling is bubbly. Cover edges with foil if they darken too quickly.
Cool and Serve
- Carefully remove pie from the oven and let cool on a wire rack for at least 2 hours. Serve warm or chilled, with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.

Notes
Chill the dough well before rolling it out for a flaky crust. Use fresh, seasonal berries for the best flavor. Cover edges with foil if they brown too quickly during baking.
