How To Make three sisters pie
Test Kitchen Tips: We used a pie shield during the first half of the baking process.
1. Combine the flour and salt in a bowl. Cut in the shortening until the mixture is crumbly.
2. Add the water 1 Tbsp at a time, tossing with a fork until the pastry holds together.
3. Shape into two balls, one slightly larger than the other. Flatten into disks.
4. Gently toss the strawberries, blueberries, and raspberries, with corn starch and apple juice in a bowl. Let stand for 15 minutes.
5. Gently mix in the sugar and cinnamon.
6. Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Roll the larger pastry disk into a 12-inch circle on a lightly floured surface.
7. Fit it into a standard 9-inch pie pan leaving a 1-inch overhang.
8. Spoon in the filling and dot with the butter.
9. Roll the remaining disk into an 11-inch circle. Cut into 1/2 inch strips. Twist each strip.

12. Serve warm with ice cream of course!
