Anyberry Summer Pie courtesy of Beth Prueitt

Start to finish: 55 minutes
Serves 8
Ingredients:
For the filling:
3/4 c. sugar
2 T. cornstarch
pinch of salt
5 cups berries, fresh or frozen
1 prepared pie shell (slightly thawed if frozen)

For the crumb topping:
1/2 c. rolled oats
3/4 c. all-purpose flour
1 c. sugar
1 t. cinnamon
1/2 t. ground ginger
1/2 t. allspice
1/2 cup butter, cut into small pieces

Directions:Heat the oven to 375 degrees.To make the filling, in a large bowl mix the sugar, cornstarch, and salt. Add the berries and toss gently until well mixed. Pile the filling in to the prepared crust. Set aside.To make the crumb topping, in a medium bowl, combine the oats, flour, sugar, cinnamon, ginger, all-spice and butter. Using your fingers, a pastry blender, or a fork, mash and rub the butter into the dry ingredients until it resembles coarse crumbs.Top the berries with the crumb mixture, patting it on, as necessary, to make it stay put. Place the pie on a rimmed baking sheet (to catch drips) and bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the crumb topping is golden brown and the berries are bubbling.For clean slices, let the pie cool down before slicing. Or serve warm with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
