How to Make Three Berry Pie From Nepenthe

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a large bowl, gently combine the berries, sugar, cornstarch, and lemon juice. Set aside.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, brown sugar, oats, and salt.
  4. Cut in the cold butter using a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  5. Pour the berry mixture into a 9-inch pie crust (store-bought or homemade).
  6. Sprinkle the crumb topping evenly over the berries.
  7. Bake for 50-55 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
  8. Let cool completely on a wire rack before serving. For the ultimate experience, warm a slice slightly and top with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
