Ingredients

Scale

Berry Filling

  • 4 cups fresh mixed berries (blueberries, raspberries, blackberries, strawberries)
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour (or gluten-free flour alternative)

Crumble Topping

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour (or gluten-free flour alternative)
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup oats (optional)
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
  • Pinch of salt
  • 1/2 cup cold unsalted butter, cubed (or plant-based substitute for vegan option)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Berry Filling: Wash and gently pat dry the mixed berries. In a large bowl, toss the berries with granulated sugar, lemon juice, and flour to thicken the juices released during baking. Let the mixture sit while you prepare the crumble topping to allow flavors to meld.
  2. Make the Crumble Topping: In a separate bowl, combine flour, brown sugar, oats, cinnamon, and salt. Cut in cold butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in vanilla extract for added depth of flavor.
  3. Assemble the Pie: Pour the berry filling into a lightly greased pie dish or baking pan. Evenly sprinkle the crumble topping over the berries, ensuring full coverage for a golden crust.
  4. Bake to Perfection: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the pie for 40-45 minutes, until the topping is golden brown and the berry filling bubbles at the edges. Allow the pie to cool slightly before serving.

Notes

  • Use fresh, ripe berries for the best flavor and juiciness.
  • Keep butter cold to ensure a flakier, more crumbly topping.
  • Don’t skip the flour in the filling to prevent a soggy pie.
  • Allow the pie to cool before slicing to let the filling set.
  • For a golden finish, brush melted butter on top of the crumble before baking.
