Sweet buttery crumb topping sets this razzleberry pie apart from the rest! Serve it with a scoop of ice cream for a sensational berry dessert all year long.
6Tablespoonssalted butter, softened to room temperature
Instructions
Press the pie crust into a deep dish 9-inch pie plate; crimp the edge. Cover with plastic wrap and chill while you prepare the rest of the pie.
Berry Filling:
Combine the berries, sugar, cornstarch, and salt in a large bowl. Let sit at room temperature for 20-30 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the berries start to thaw. Preheat your oven to 375°.
Crumb Topping:
In a small bowl, combine the flour, sugar, and softened butter. Mix together with your fingers until crumbly.
To Make Pie:
Spread the berry mixture into the crust. Sprinkle the crumbs over the top.
Place the pie on a lower oven rack. Bake at 375° for 30 minutes. Turn the heat down to 350°; bake for another 30-35 minutes or until the filling is bubbly and the crust is browned. (If the edges brown too quickly, cover them with a pie crust shield or strips of aluminum foil.)
The pie will set up as it cools, so let it sit at room temperature for at least 2 hours for easier serving. (You can refrigerate it to speed up the process.)
Notes
We like our berry pie on the sweet side, but if you prefer a more tart pie, you can decrease the sugar to 3/4 or even 1/2 cup.
If you don't have a deep dish pie pan, put your pie plate on a foil -ined cookie sheet to prevent drips from burning on the bottom of your oven.
You can use fresh berries in any combination. You will only need 1/4 cup of cornstarch, and you can decrease the baking time by 15-20 minutes. Fresh berries are usually sweeter, so you can decrease the sugar or add a teaspoon of lemon juice.
For a true Marie Callender’s razzleberry pie copycat, use 2 cups blackberries, 2 cups raspberries, and a cup of very finely diced apple in place of the triple berry mix.
Pie can be stored at room temperature for 2-3 days, or in the fridge for 4-5 days. Cover tightly with plastic wrap or transfer to an airtight container.
