I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my pie crust turned out really tough. I think I might have overmixed the dough.

This pie is a great way to use up leftover berries. I had a bunch of strawberries and blueberries that were about to go bad, so I threw them in a pie crust and topped it with the crunch topping. It turned out great!

I had some trouble with the crust. It was a bit too dry and crumbly. I'm not sure what I did wrong.
