Blueberry Walnut Streusel Pie Recipes

Steps:

• To prepare streusel, combine flour and both sugars in a large bowl. Cut in butter with fingers or pastry blender to form a streusel. Add walnuts and toss to combine. Refrigerate.
• Preheat oven to 425°F Place pastry in pie pan; crimp edges.
• To prepare filling, combine berries, sugar, cornstarch and nutmeg in a large bowl. Mix with a spoon and transfer to prepared pastry. Sprinkle with streusel. Brush pastry edges with milk. Bake 10 minutes. Reduce temperature to 350F and bake 35 minutes or until streusel is golden brown and juices are bubbling. Check after 20 minutes; if edges are browning too quickly, cover with strips of foil. Let cool completely on wire rack.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Smash berries. Stir in sugar and 1/4 cup flour. Pour filling into pie crust.
• Smash walnuts into small pieces. Stir in brown sugar, 1/4 cup flour, and shortening with a pastry blender. The mixture should be crumbly. Sprinkle streusel over pie.
• Place pie on a baking sheet and bake in preheated oven until crust is golden and filling is bubbly, about 45 minutes.

Steps:

• To make crust: Stir together 1 cup flour, 1 tablespoon sugar, and salt in a medium bowl.
• Melt 1 tablespoon butter in a small saucepan over low heat.
• Cook, swirling the pan, until the butter turns a nutty brown, about 30 seconds.
• Cover loosely with with foil and set in the middle of the oven, with a baking sheet placed on the rack below to catch any drippings.
• Bake for 55 to 65 minutes, or until the berries are juicy and bubbling.
• Frozen berries will take 10 minutes longer to cook.
• Uncover the pie, sprinkle evenly with the reserved streusel topping and bake for 12 to 15 minutes longer, or until the streusel is golden.
• Cool on a wire rack for 30 minutes, then cool completely in the refrigerator, about 2 hours.

Steps:

• For crust:
• Blend all purpose flour, sugar and salt in processor. Add chilled butter pieces and cut in using on/off turns until mixture resembles coarse meal. Add 3 tablespoons ice water and process until moist clumps form, adding more ice water by teaspoonfuls if dough is dry. Gather dough into ball; flatten into disk. Wrap in plastic and refrigerate 30 minutes. (Can be prepared 2 days ahead. Keep refrigerated. Let soften slightly at room temperature before rolling out.)
• Roll out dough on lightly floured surface to 12-inch round. Transfer to 9-inch-diameter glass pie dish. Fold edges under, forming high-standing rim 3/4 inch above dish sides; crimp edges decoratively. Freeze crust 25 minutes.
• Preheat oven to 350°F. Bake crust until light golden brown, about 30 minutes. Cool while preparing filling. Maintain oven temperature.
• For filling:
• Combine pear pieces, 3 tablespoons sugar, 2 tablespoons orange juice and salt in large nonstick skillet. Cook over medium heat until pears are tender but still hold their shape, stirring often, about 6 minutes. Transfer pear mixture to large bowl; cool to room temperature. Add blueberries, flour and remaining 6 tablespoons sugar to pears; toss gently to blend.
• Transfer filling to cooled pie crust, mounding filling slightly in center. Sprinkle with Walnut-Streusel Topping. Bake pie until juices bubble thickly, fruit is tender and streusel topping is golden brown, about 1 hour 5 minutes. Cool pie on rack until lukewarm. Cut pie into wedges and serve.
