Ingredients

1 premade deep-dish frozen pie crust

3 (12-ounce) bags frozen mixed berries, thawed (recommended: Dole)

1 lemon, zested and juiced

1 cup sugar

3 tablespoons instant tapioca

3/4 cup flour

1/4 cup packed brown sugar

4 tablespoons cold butter, cubed

1 cup granola

1 (8-ounce) container whipped topping

2 tablespoons maple syrup

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Place a rack in the bottom third of the oven. Put the pie shell on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the berries with the lemon zest and juice, the sugar and instant tapioca. Stir together to completely combine and set aside.
  3. In a medium bowl, mix together the flour and brown sugar. Using a fork or a pastry cutter, cut in the butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Mix in the granola.
  4. Pour the berry mixture into the pie crust and top with the granola crumb topping. Bake until the inside of the pie is bubbling and the top is golden brown, 45 to 50 minutes. (If the top browns too quickly, cover loosely with aluminum foil.) Remove from the oven and cool at least 1 hour on a wire cooling rack before serving.
  5. Combine the whipped topping and maple syrup and mix until well blended. Serve with the pie.

I made a few changes, it was pretty good. Since people commented that it was too sweet, I used only about half the sugar, I thought it was pretty good and would make it that way next time or use 2/3 cup sugar for a sweeter taste. I also used only about 2/3 lemon juice but next time would use the full amount. I used tapioca flour/starch instead of instant tapioca because I could only find instant tapioca pearls and thought the texture of that would be gross. <br />The frozen fruit was really juicy, about 3/4-1 cups liquid so I strained it out, used 1/4 cup of the total sugar and some the total amount of the tapioca and reduced it by half before mixing it into the fruit. It was a little too juice for my taste so I would use 4 tbsp tapioca starch next time and again strain out the juice but reduce it to 1/3. <br /><br />I had never made a berry pie before and it was a hit at the party I brought it too.
