Ingredients:

  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour (190 g)
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon granulated sugar (12 g)
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, chilled and cubed (113 g)
  • 4–5 tablespoons ice water (60-75 ml)
  • 2 cups fresh Goumi berries (about 200 g) or frozen, thawed
  • ¾ cup granulated sugar (150 g)
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch (8 g)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ½ teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice (15 ml)

Instructions:

  1. In a mixing bowl, combine flour, salt, and sugar.
  2. Using a pastry cutter or fork, cut in the cold butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  3. Gradually add ice water, one tablespoon at a time, mixing until the dough forms.
  4. Form the dough into a disc, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for 10 minutes.
  5. In a separate bowl, combine Goumi berries, sugar, cornstarch, vanilla, cinnamon, and lemon juice.
  6. Toss gently to evenly coat the berries and set aside.
  7. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  8. On a lightly floured surface, roll out the pie dough to a 12-inch circle.
  9. Transfer the dough to the pie pan, trimming excess.
  10. Pour the Goumi filling into the pie shell, spreading evenly.
  11. (Optional) Create a lattice top or leave as is. If using a lattice, roll out another piece of dough and slice into strips.
  12. Brush the crust with an egg wash for a golden finish, if desired.
  13. Bake for 35 minutes or until the crust is golden and filling is bubbly.
  14. Allow to cool for at least 10 minutes before slicing.
