Easy

Total Time:
1 hour

Ingredients:
1 sheet puff pastry
2 cups fresh blueberries
2 cups fresh strawberries, sliced
1/3 cup sugar
1 tablespoon lemon juice
2 tablespoons flour
1 egg
1 tablespoon water

Directions:
Thaw puff pastry according to package directions. On a floured work surface unfold the pastry sheet and roll out to a 14 inch by 14 inch square. Trim off any excess pastry and save the scraps. Place the dough in a pie plate and prick the dough with a fork all around the bottom and sides. In a large bowl combine the blueberries, strawberries, sugar, lemon juice and flour. Toss to combine. Pour the berry mixture into the pie plate. Take the corners of the dough and fold them up to meet in the middle. Press the folded edges together. Using the dough scraps, in the middle of the pie, construct a star. Combine the egg and water in a small bowl and brush the top of the pie with the egg wash. Cut a few slits in the top of the pie for steam to release. Bake at 375 degrees for 30 to 45 minutes until crust is golden brown.
