The filling and crumb topping make a delicious change from traditional fruit pies. Plus, you can prep it ahead, making dessert one less thing to worry about when guests come over.
Ingredient Notes For Mixed Berry Streusel Pie
This pie is so easy and uses some of my favorite fruits- BERRIES! Made with a few simple ingredients and pantry staples!
- 9-inch flaky pie crust: Use store-bought for convenience, or make your own for a homemade touch.
- Frozen mixed berries: Blueberries, raspberries, and blackberries add a sweet-and-tart mix to every slice.
- Vanilla extract: Adds a little extra depth to the berry filling.
- Granulated sugar: Sweetens the fruit and balances the berries’ natural tartness.
- All-purpose flour: Helps thicken the berry juices so the filling isn’t too runny when you slice the pie.
- Streusel topping: A delicious blend of flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, rolled oats, softened butter, and a pinch of salt.
How To Make a Mixed Berry Streusel Pie
For full recipe details, including ingredient measurements, see the printable recipe card at the bottom of this post. Here are my step-by-step instructions for making this pie:
Step 1: Preheat Oven
Preheat your oven to 350° F.
Step 2: Prepare the Crust
If using frozen pie crust, remove it from the freezer and thaw it. If using homemade pie crust, keep it refrigerated until you’re ready to fill it.
Pro Tip: I love using my favorite homemade pie crust for this recipe. It’s worth the extra effort!
Step 3: Make the Filling + Assemble the Pie
In a large bowl, stir frozen berries, vanilla extract, 1/2 cup sugar, and flour until well coated.
Pro Tip: Add a splash of lemon juice to brighten up the berry filling.
Pour the berry mixture into the pie crust using a slotted spoon and even out the top.
Step 4: Prepare the Streusel
In a separate medium bowl, measure out streusel ingredients. Using your hands, mix the streusel until it comes together, the butter is well incorporated throughout, and everything is like moist sand.
This streusel recipe makes a crazy amount, especially for a pie, but that’s how I like it. I used all but about 1/2 cup. Feel free to halve the topping recipe for a more socially acceptable amount of streusel for your pie.
Step 5: Top the Pie With Streusel + Bake
Spread 3/4 of the streusel over the frozen berries. Bake for 1 hour, or until the crust and topping are golden brown.
Pro Tip: Place your pie on a baking sheet to catch any spills. You’ll thank yourself later- I promise. 😉
Step 6: Remove From Oven + Let Rest, Garnish and Serve!
Now, I know it’s going to be hard, but let your mixed berry pie cool completely before cutting into it. If you wait, I assure you it will cut so obnoxiously well that you’ll never want to make another kind of pie again. IF you cut into this when it’s still warm?! I make no such promises. But either way, it will taste REALLY good.
Garnish with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream, serve and enjoy!
Tips for Success
- Use a slotted spoon: Frozen berries can release liquid as they sit with the sugar, so leave excess juice behind when transferring the filling to the crust.
- Keep the butter softened for the streusel: It should press easily into crumbs without turning greasy. If it feels too sticky, chill the mixture briefly before topping the pie.
- Leave room for bubbling: Avoid filling the crust all the way to the rim, since the berry juices expand and bubble as they bake.
- Check the bottom crust: Look for a golden, baked-through crust rather than relying on the streusel color alone. If the top browns too quickly, loosely cover it with foil.
What to Serve With Mixed Berry Streusel Pie
Pair a slice of berry pie with a little something extra for dessert or your next summer get-together.
- Lemon Bars – Their tangy lemon filling makes a refreshing contrast to the berry pie.
- Shortbread Cookies – Buttery cookies are a simple addition to a dessert platter.
- Lemonade – A cool glass of lemonade is perfect for summer picnics and cookouts.
- Fruit Salad – Fresh fruit adds a light, refreshing option alongside a slice of pie.
