Using a Prepared Crust

If you’re a follower, you know I’m not a real bake-from-scratch kind of gal. I am always limited on time, especially now that I have a little one. That’s why I love a good shortcut like boxed cake mix, no-bake desserts and, in this case, refrigerated pie crust.  There’s no shame in the game! Using a prepared dough cuts prep time down by at least half making this recipe a 45 minute miracle. You can certainly use your favorite crust recipe if you prefer to make your own. I love everything from Sally’s Baking Addiction so you can try this one.

Mixed Berry Filling

Another thing that makes this recipe so easy is that you don’t have to pre-cook the mixed berry filling. Just toss your favorite berries in sugar, cornstarch and a splash of orange juice before layering them into the crust. They will cook completely during the baking process. I like to use whole blueberries and diced strawberries but you can use any berry you like. Just make sure you cut all the fruit to about the same size for consistency.

That. Crumble. Though.

Although I suggest a pre-made crust, there’s no shortcut for this buttery, melt-in-your-mouth crumble. But, it’s super simple. Cut butter into flour, sugar and oats until crumbs form. “Cutting” butter into a flour mixture means to incorporate it so that lumps of butter remain whole without melting. You can do this with a pastry cutter or with two forks. Essentially, you want a consistency that is easy to crumble over the top of the berry filling. Note that you can omit the oats if you’d like.. they’re mostly for texture!
