Plum-Blackberry Streusel Pie image

Beneath a humble, oaty streusel topping lies a sleek, inky jumble of plums and blackberries-talk about a delicious contrast. A combination of cornstarch and tapioca in the filling helps to keep the colors of the fruit true and to set up their juices nicely without becoming too thick.

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 3/4 pound ripe plums, pitted and quartered
3/4 pound blackberries (2 cups)
1 1/2 cups sugar, divided
3 tablespoons quick-cooking tapioca
2 tablespoons cornstarch
1 teaspoon grated lemon zest
3/4 teaspoon salt, divided
1/2 recipe all-butter pastry dough
1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1 stick cold unsalted butter, cut into bits
Equipment: a 9 1/2-inch deep-dish pie plate

Steps:

  • Put a foil-lined large baking sheet in lower third of oven and preheat oven to 375°F.
  • Toss plums and blackberries with 1 cup sugar, tapioca, cornstarch, zest, and 1/4 teaspoon salt in a large bowl.
  • Roll out dough into a 13-inch round on a lightly floured surface with a lightly floured rolling pin. Fit into pie plate. Trim excess dough, leaving a 1/2-inch overhang. Fold overhang under and press against rim of pie plate, then crimp decoratively. Chill while making streusel.
  • Stir together oats, flour, and remaining 1/2 cup sugar and 1/2 tsp salt. Blend in butter with your fingertips until mixture forms small clumps.
  • Mound filling in shell. Crumble streusel evenly over filling.
  • Bake pie until streusel is golden and filling is bubbling, 1 1/4 to 1 1/2 hours. Cool completely, 3 to 4 hours.

This pie was a bit too sweet for my taste, but it was still good. The crust was flaky and the filling was thick and juicy. I would recommend using less sugar in the filling next time.

I made a few changes to the recipe, but the pie still turned out great. I used a pre-made pie crust and I added a teaspoon of cinnamon to the filling. The pie was a hit with my family.
