- First place your stick of butter in the freezer to chill.
- Now prepare the filling by combing berries in a medium bowl with sugar, Bolthouse Farms® Berry Boost smoothie and vanilla. Toss well to coat and set aside while you prepare the crust.
- Now prepare the crust by mixing together flour, sugar and salt in a medium bowl.
- Remove butter from freezer and cut small chunks off with a paring knife into the flour mixture until the entire stick has been added.
- Mix together with a pastry cutter or your hands until mixture looks like pea size crumbs.
- Now add ice water and stir together with a fork until the flour is moistened. If flour still looks dry add up to an additional 2 Tbsp of water and mix together.
- Knead the dough a few times in the bowl until it comes together in a ball. Shape the dough into a flat, thick disk and cover with plastic wrap and place in the fridge. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a silpat mat. Set it aside.
- On a lightly floured surface roll the dough into a 12″ circle. If desired you can trim around the edge to create a clean edge, but this is not necessary.
- Transfer the dough to your prepared baking sheet and then add fruit to the center leaving a 2” border all the way around. Do not add juices from the fruit. Set aside juices for later.
- Now gently fold over the edges of the dough overlapping where necessary. Gently press edges together to seal.
- Pour 1-2 Tbsp juices over the fruit. If you add too much it will leak all over and make your crust soggy.
- Brush the crust with beaten egg and sprinkle with sugar crystals.
- Bake 25-35 minutes until crust is golden brown. Remove from oven and let cool slightly.
- Serve warm or at room temperature.
