    Place pie on middle oven rack; place large cookie sheet on rack below pie plate in case of spillover. Bake 15 minutes. Reduce oven temperature to 375°F. Cover edge of crust with strips of foil to prevent excessive browning. Bake 40 to 45 minutes longer or until crust is golden brown and filling is bubbly. Let stand 2 hours before serving.

Tips from the Pillsbury Kitchens

  • tip 1
    If desired, you can swap in any combination of your favorite berries to make this triple berry pie.
  • tip 2
    Easily flute pastry by placing thumb and index finger on outside of raised edge, about 1 inch apart. With other index finger, push pastry outwards, continuing around entire edge to form decorative border.
  • tip 3
    Instead of cutting out decorative numbers by hand, look for small number-shaped cutters in the cake decorating aisle at craft or specialty stores.
