This article provides you with two delectable recipes: a classic Mixed Berry Streusel Pie and a Vegan Mixed Berry Streusel Pie. The classic recipe caters to traditional tastes, while the vegan version offers a plant-based alternative without compromising on flavor or texture.
In the classic recipe, you'll learn how to craft a tender, flaky pie crust from scratch, ensuring a sturdy base for your berry filling. The mixed berry filling is a vibrant medley of fresh or frozen berries, such as strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, and blackberries, tossed in sugar and cornstarch for a perfect balance of sweetness and texture. The streusel topping, made with a combination of oats, flour, sugar, and butter, adds a delightful crunch and a hint of nutty flavor.
The vegan recipe offers a delicious twist on the classic, using wholesome plant-based ingredients to create a pie that is equally satisfying and compassionate. The vegan pie crust is made with a blend of flour, vegan butter, and ice water, resulting in a flaky and tender crust. The mixed berry filling remains the same as in the classic recipe, providing a burst of fruity goodness. The vegan streusel topping is made with oats, flour, sugar, and vegan butter, delivering the same delightful crunch and nutty flavor as its classic counterpart.
Whether you prefer the classic or vegan version, this Mixed Berry Streusel Pie is a guaranteed crowd-pleaser, perfect for any occasion. So, gather your ingredients, preheat your oven, and embark on a delightful baking journey that will leave your taste buds craving for more.

Steps:
- For crust:
- Whisk flour, sugar, and salt in medium bowl to blend. Add butter and rub in with fingertips until mixture resembles coarse meal. Add 2 tablespoons ice water and stir with fork until mixture is evenly moistened, adding more ice water by teaspoonfuls if mixture is dry. Gather dough into ball; flatten into disk. Wrap dough in plastic and chill at least 1 hour. DO AHEAD: Can be made 2 days ahead. Keep chilled. Soften dough slightly at room temperature before rolling out.
- For streusel topping:
- Blend flour, sugar, crystallized ginger, orange peel, and salt in processor. Add butter; using on/off turns, blend until coarse crumbs form. Blend in milk (mixture will resemble moist coarse crumbs). Transfer mixture to medium bowl. Stir in almonds. DO AHEAD: Can be made 1 day ahead. Cover and chill.
- Position rack in center of oven and preheat to 400°F. Place rimmed baking sheet in bottom of oven to catch any possible spills from pie. Roll out dough on lightly floured surface to 12-inch round. Transfer to 9-inch-diameter glass pie dish. Turn pie crust edge under, forming high-standing rim extending 1/4 inch above sides of pie dish; crimp edge decoratively. Freeze crust while making filling.
- For filling:
- Gently toss blueberries, raspberries, blackberries, 1/2 cup sugar, and lemon juice in large bowl. Let stand 10 minutes. Mix cornstarch and remaining 2 tablespoons sugar in small bowl. Add to berry mixture and toss gently to coat. Transfer berry mixture to crust, mounding slightly in center. Bake 30 minutes.
- Remove pie from oven and reduce oven temperature to 375°F. Sprinkle streusel topping evenly over berry pie filling. Return pie to oven and bake until crust is golden brown and berry juices are bubbling thickly, about 40 minutes. Transfer pie to rack and cool completely.

Steps:
- For the crust and streusel: Grease 9-inch pie plate. Process flour, graham crackers, and salt in food processor until finely ground. Add butter, cream cheese, and vanilla and pulse until dough forms. Remove 2 cups dough from food processor (leaving remaining dough in bowl of food processor) and turn out onto lightly floured surface. Flatten dough into 6-inch disk and transfer to prepared pie plate. Press dough evenly into pie plate and flute edges. Cover dough with plastic and refrigerate until firm, at least 1 hour or up to 24 hours.
- Add oats and brown sugar to food processor with remaining dough and pulse until mixture resembles coarse meal. Transfer to bowl and use fingers to pinch topping into peanut-sized clumps; cover and refrigerate streusel.
- For the filling: Adjust oven rack to lowest position and heat oven to 350 degrees. Cook 2 cups berries in saucepan over medium-high heat until juicy, about 3 minutes. Stir in sugar and lemon zest and simmer until thickened, about 5 minutes. Let cool 5 minutes, then gently toss cooked berry mixture, remaining berries, and tapioca in large bowl until combined.
- Transfer berry mixture to chilled crust. Scatter oat mixture evenly over pie. Bake pie on rimmed baking sheet until fruit is bubbling around edges and streusel is browned and crisp, 45 to 55 minutes. Cool on rack 30 minutes, then refrigerate until set, at least 2 hours or up to 24 hours. Serve.

Tips:
- Use a variety of berries. This will give your pie a more complex flavor and appearance.
- Don't overfill the pie crust. This will make it difficult to seal the pie and could cause the filling to spill out during baking.
- Chill the pie before baking. This will help the crust to set and prevent the filling from bubbling up.
- Bake the pie at a high temperature for the first 15 minutes. This will help to set the crust and prevent it from becoming soggy.
- Reduce the temperature to 350 degrees F for the remaining baking time. This will help to prevent the pie from overcooking.
- Allow the pie to cool completely before slicing. This will help the filling to set and prevent it from running out.
