Raspberry Crumble Pie

Raspberry Crumble Pie combines fresh raspberries baked inside a flaky homemade buttery pie crust, with a streusel oat crumble topping. This is the ultimate dessert combo of cobbler, crisp and fruit pie served warm with a giant scoop of ice cream.

The Best Crumble Pie Topping

Crumble is made of flour, oats, brown sugar, and butter. Yes, all the best baking ingredients also known as streusel topping. Add in a little vanilla and cinnamon for a cozy palate tickle and you’re basically putting a ‘crumbled’ oatmeal cookie on top of your pie.

Crumble is simple to make and I love to add to the top of fruit pies, cobblers, and muffins. Just that extra bit of warming spice flavor in every bite helps to balance out the tartness of the raspberries.

Homemade Pie Crust

I’ve been using the same all butter Homemade Pie Crust for years and its never let me down. Simple ingredients that always result in a perfectly flaky delicious crust.

This pie crust recipe has options for both single and double pie crust layers. So, I would choose one of the two options. Make just the single, or go ahead and make a double dough batch, then freeze half for a future pie, make two pies, or try my recipe for raspberry galettes.

Raspberry Pie Filling

Raspberries are very tart, so they are usually paired with other sweeter fruit in a dessert. But, I absolutely love their tartness and wanted to celebrate them all on their own!

You can use either fresh or frozen raspberries for this recipe, just make sure your to let your frozen berries thaw to room temperature before baking. I add just enough sugar, lemon juice and vanilla to counterbalance the tartness into an irresistible sweet raspberry filling.

Allow the pie to cool for at least three hours for the filling to set. This fruity pie needs to cool at room temperature for about three hours before slicing, otherwise the filling will be loose.

Helpful Tips

• Make sure the pie crust is cold and firm before adding in your raspberry filling.
• If you aren’t a huge fan of all raspberry pie filling feel free to swap out a cup or two of the fresh raspberries with sliced strawberries, blueberries, blackberries or rhubarb.
• Discard any berry juice left over in the bowl of berries after coating in flour, vanilla, and lemon juice.
• Serve with a scoop of ice cream, my recipe for salted honey ice cream goes perfectly with the tart berries.
