Cook Time: 1 hour
Total Time: 3 hours, 10 minutes

Ingredients

• for the berry filling:
• 1 frozen ready to bake pie crust {9", 5 oz. size, such as Kroger}
• 2-10 oz. packages frozen mixed berries {I used Simple Truth Organic brand}
• 1 teaspoon vanilla
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 1/4 cup all purpose flour
• for the streusel topping:
• 1 cup all purpose flour, unbleached
• 1/3 cup granulated sugar
• 1/3 cup brown sugar
• 1/2 cup rolled oats
• 6 tablespoons softened butter
• 1/4 teaspoon salt

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Remove pie crust from freezer and set aside.
In a large bowl, stir frozen berries, vanilla, sugar and flour until well coated. Pour into pie crust and even out the top.
In another separate bowl, measure out streusel ingredients. Using your hands, mix the streusel until it comes together and the butter is well incorporated throughout and everything is like moist sand. Spread 3/4 of the streusel over the frozen berries. {This recipe for streusel makes an obnoxious amount, especially for a pie, but that's how I like it. I used all but about 1/2 cup. Feel free to halve the topping recipe for a more socially acceptable amount of streusel for your pie.}
Bake pie for 1 hour or until crust and topping are golden brown. Cool completely before cutting and serving. Serve with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream.
