Crumble Berry Pie

Picholine's Note:

Assorted berries baked in a pie shell with a crumble topping. My husband requested it so I combined the best berry pie recipes with the best berry crisp recipes, and got the best of both worlds! I used a frozen medley of blueberries, raspberries, and lingonberries that I got from Costco.

Great recipe! Made the following adjustments: Used 22 oz fresh blueberries and 12 oz of fresh sliced strawberries, 1/4 cup splenda, 1.5 tbsp lemon juice, 2 tsp vanilla. For the topping, I just used the brown sugar and flour, no oats and it was enough to cover. Used a Marie Calendars deep dish pie crust which I first baked at 400 degrees for 10 minutes, then filled it, lowered temp to 375 and baked for 45 min. Baking the pie crust before adding the filling keeps it from being soggy...absolutely delicious!

So good and easy to do! I added about 1/2-1 tbsp of tapioca as my thawed berries were very juicy. I will definitely be making this again as it combines two of my favourite desserts: berry crumble and bumbleberry pie!

This pie is wonderful! My husband ate the whole thing in two three days! I used a little less sugar in the filling and used room temp. butter instead of melting it in order to make the topping crunchier. I am making this again tonight! Thank you for this recipe!!!
