Triple Berry Pie
Description
Triple Berry Pie starts with a filling made by tossing equal parts blackberries, blueberries, and raspberries with sugar, flour, cornstarch, lemon juice, lemon zest, and vanilla. This combination thickens the fruit juices during baking while adding subtle citrus brightness and vanilla aroma. The filling is chilled before assembling the pie to help set the mixture.
For the topping, old-fashioned oats, brown sugar, flour, cinnamon, salt, and cold cubed butter are blended to create pea-sized clumps, forming a textured, crumbly crust that crisps during baking. The topping is refrigerated before use to maintain its structure. The pie crust can be homemade or store-bought, providing a buttery base that supports the filling and topping.
During baking, the pie is initially baked uncovered before being covered with foil to prevent overbrowning, allowing the filling to bubble and thicken without burning the crust. Serving this pie reveals a sweet-tart berry filling contrasted by the crunchy, slightly spiced oat topping. The pie is suited for dessert occasions where fresh or frozen berries are available.
The notes advise that leftover pie can be stored at room temperature or refrigerated for a few days, and that the pie can be frozen baked or unbaked, with instructions for thawing and reheating. Proper wrapping prevents freezer burn, and frozen fruit pies maintain quality for about four months in the freezer.
Ingredients
For the filling:
- 2 cups blackberry
- 2 cups blueberries
- 2 cups raspberry
- ½ cup sugar
- ⅓ cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon lemon zest
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
For the topping:
- 1 cup old-fashioned oats
- ¾ cup brown sugar
- ½ cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 9 tablespoons unsalted butter cold and cubed
For the crust:
- 1 pie crust homemade or store bought
Instructions
For the Filling
- Preheat oven to 400°F.
- In a large mixing bowl combine 2 cups each of blackberries, blueberries, raspberries, 1/2 cup sugar, 1/3 cup flour, 1 tablespoon cornstarch, 1 tablespoon lemon juice,1 tablespoon lemon zest, and 1 teaspoon vanilla.
- Toss to combine, until evenly coated. Chill in the refrigerator until needed.
For the Topping
- In a medium mixing bowl, combine 1 cup oats, 3/4 cup brown sugar, 1/2 cup flour, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Using a pastry blender, cut in butter until pea-size clumps form. Place in refrigerator until needed.
For the Crust
- Roll out or place a pre-made pie crust into a 9-inch pie dish. Press gently into the bottom of the pan. Flute the edge, or crimp using a fork.
- Add pie filling, then sprinkle the oat flour mixture on top. It will be a generous amount.
- Bake for 30 minutes. Cover with foil and continue baking for 20-25 minutes. Tent the foil at the 45-minute mark to prevent the crust and topping from getting too brown.
- Remove from the oven and allow the pie to cool at room temperature for 2½ hours or at room temperature for 1 hour, then 1 hour in the refrigerator before serving.
Notes
- Store leftover pie covered on the countertop or refrigerated for a few days.
- To freeze, place the pie in the freezer uncovered at first to set, then wrap with plastic wrap and aluminum foil.
- For reheating, thaw baked pie overnight in the fridge or at room temperature; unbaked pie can be baked directly from frozen, adjusting baking time as needed.
- Frozen fruit pies maintain quality for about four months when properly wrapped.
