Mixed Berry Pie With Crumble Topping

1 9-inch pie crust (you can either make your own or find it in the cold section at your local grocery store.

For Filling:

4 cups of frozen berries, thawed (I use the unsweetened mixed berries - strawberries, raspberries, blueberries and blackberries)

1/2 cup of sugar

1/4 cup of water

2 tablespoons of cornstarch

1 tablespoon of fresh lemon juice

1 teaspoon of pure Vanilla extract

pinch of salt

For Crumble Topping:

1/2 teaspoon of ground cinnamon

1/2 cup of light brown sugar

1/2 cup all-purpose flour

1/2 cup oats

1/4 cup butter, melted

Preheat oven to 375 degrees.

Mix the topping ingredients together and mix the melted butter in last, then set aside.

Cook all the filling ingredients with the EXCEPTION of the berries on a medium heat, whisking frequently, until it gets a little thicker and all ingredients are blended together, should take about 5 minutes.

Remove the filling from the hot stove and mix with the berries.

Pour filling mixture into the pie crust (do not poke holes in the crust)

Put the crumble mixture over the top of the pie and make sure there isn't any fruit showing through.

Place the pie on a cookie sheet and place in the hot oven on the middle rack and bake for 45 minutes.

Once pie is done let it cool for 10 to 15 minutes.

Serve warm and feel free to add a dollop of ice cream or whipped cream on top!

Enjoy!
