Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 250 grams All-purpose flour
- 170 grams Butter (cold, unsalted)
- 100 grams Granulated sugar
- 50 grams Brown sugar
- 50 grams Rolled oats
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 400 grams Fresh or frozen mixed berries (e.g., blueberries, raspberries, blackberries)
- 2 tablespoons Cornstarch
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 190°C (375°F) and lightly grease a 9-inch pie or tart dish.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, ground cinnamon, rolled oats, and salt.
Cut the cold butter into small cubes and add it to the dry ingredients. Use your hands or a pastry cutter to work the butter into the mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
Reserve about 1 cup of the crumb mixture for the topping, and press the remaining mixture evenly into the bottom of the prepared pie dish to form a crust.
In a medium bowl, toss the mixed berries with cornstarch, lemon juice, and vanilla extract until well coated.
Pour the berry mixture over the crust, spreading it out evenly.
Sprinkle the reserved crumb mixture over the berries to create a topping.
Bake the pie in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes or until the topping is golden brown and the berry filling is bubbly.
Remove from the oven and allow the pie to cool for at least 15 minutes before serving. Serve warm or at room temperature, optionally with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream on the side.
