Preparation Method Steps:
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a large bowl, combine the berries, sugar, lemon juice, and cornstarch. Stir until well combined.
- Place the pie crust mix in a bowl and add cold water. Mix until the dough just comes together.
- Roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface and transfer to a 9-inch pie plate. Trim and crimp the edges.
- Pour the berry filling into the pie crust.
- In a separate bowl, combine the chilled butter and flour. Use your fingertips to work the butter into the flour until it resembles coarse crumbs.
- Sprinkle the crumb topping over the berry filling.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.
- Let the pie cool for at least 30 minutes before serving.

Special Precautions and Tips:
- Do not overmix the dough, as this will make the crust tough.
- If the butter for the crumb topping is too warm, it will melt and make the topping greasy.
- Let the pie cool for at least 30 minutes before serving, as this will allow the filling to set and the crust to firm up.
