Berry Crumble Pie


So, I called Germany on Monday and they were making a lemon pie for FHE which totally inspired me to make pie too. Except I think this was way easier than making a lemon pie!! This recipe called for fresh berries, but I used mixed frozen berries (blueberry, raspberry and blackberry) and it was just fine. Just take them out to thaw for a while before. I don't think the picture is that great, but the pie tasted really good.




Berry Crumble Pie

1 3/4 cup flour
3/8 cup butter (what kind of measurement is that?? Don't worry I figured out it is 7 Tbsp)
3 tsp. baking powder
1 tsp. vanilla extract
7 Tbsp. sugar, divided
1 egg
3 cups fresh or frozen berries, any combination

Cut butter into flour with a pastry blender or fork until mixture is fine and crumbly. Add baking powder, vanilla, sugar and egg. Let dough rest 25 minutes. Press half of dough evenly over the bottom and sides of a 9 inch pie pan. Prick holes in dough all over with a fork. Let dough rest another 25 minutes. Put berries on top of crust and crumble the rest of the dough over top. Bake at 400 degrees for 25-30 minutes, until golden brown.
