How to Make Berry Streusel Pie

  1. **Make the crust:** In a food processor, combine 2 1/2 cups flour, 1/2 cup granulated sugar, and 1 teaspoon salt.
  2. Cut in 1 cup (2 sticks) chilled, cubed butter and 1/2 cup chilled shortening using on/off pulses until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  3. Gradually add 5-7 tablespoons ice water, pulsing until the dough just comes together. Add more water, 1 teaspoon at a time, if needed.
  4. Form the dough into a disc, wrap in plastic wrap, and chill for at least 1 hour.
  5. **Make the streusel topping:** In a food processor, combine 1/2 cup (1 stick) softened butter, 1/2 cup packed brown sugar, 1 cup flour, 1/2 cup rolled oats, and 1 teaspoon cinnamon. Process until moist crumbs form.
  6. **Make the filling:** In a large bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup granulated sugar, 1/4 cup tapioca starch, and 2 tablespoons lemon juice.
  7. Gently fold in 6 cups of mixed berries. Let stand for 45 minutes, stirring occasionally, to allow the tapioca to soften.
  8. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
  9. On a lightly floured surface, roll out the chilled dough into a 15-inch circle.
  10. Carefully transfer the dough to a 9-inch pie plate. Trim and crimp the edges.
  11. Freeze the crust for 20 minutes.
  12. Spoon the berry filling into the chilled crust.
  13. Sprinkle the streusel topping evenly over the filling.
  14. Bake for 55-65 minutes, or until the crust and topping are golden brown and the filling is bubbling. Cover loosely with foil if the topping browns too quickly.
  15. Let the pie cool completely on a wire rack for at least 3 hours before slicing and serving. Enjoy!
