A quick and easy summer berry pie with a perfect oat crumble topping.
Ingredients
  • 1 9" pie crust, homemade or store bought
  • ¾ cup granulated sugar
  • ¼ cup cornstarch
  • 1 pkg (600 g) frozen mixed berries
  • 1 tsp lemon zest
  • 2 tsp lemon juice
  • TOPPING:
  • ½ cup butter or margarine, melted
  • 1½ cups quick cooking oats
  • ½ cup packed brown sugar
  • ½ cup all purpose flour
  • ½ tsp ground cinnamon
  • ½ tsp salt
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  2. Prick pie crust randomly with a fork, line inside of crust with foil and hold foil down with pie weights or some dry beans or rice. Bake for 10 minutes.
  3. While it's baking, combine sugar, cornstarch, fruit, lemon zest, and lemon juice in a large bowl. Let stand while crust bakes.
  4. Prep the crumble topping by melting the butter in a medium bowl, then adding all other ingredients and stirring until well combined and crumbly.
  5. When crust is done, remove from oven and turn oven temperature up to 425 degrees. Remove foil and weights from pie crust. Stir fruit mixture and spoon into pie shell. Top evenly with crumble topping. Bake pie for 15 minutes, then reduce oven temperature to 350 degrees and bake another 40-45 minutes, until crust is golden and filling is bubbly. Let cool for at least 30 minutes before slicing. Serve with ice cream or whipped cream.
  6. Store leftovers covered at cool room temperature or in the fridge.
