    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
    Feel free to play around with the combination of berries in this Pi Day pie recipe to suit your taste preferences.
  • tip 2
    To flute pastry, place thumb and index finger about 1 inch apart on outside of raised edge. With other index finger, push pastry toward outside, continuing around edge, repeating motion, to form decorative edge.
  • tip 3
    Impressive-looking Pi Day pie recipes don't necessarily require endless hours of hard work. Instead of painstakingly handcrafting numbers, look for small number-shaped cutters in the cake decorating aisle at craft or specialty stores.
