Instructions

 

Pastry

  • Combine all ingredients in a food processor bowl. Process for about 20 seconds or until dough forms a ball. (Or rub butter and cream cheese into flour-sugar mixture with fingertips until the dough clumps together. Gather into a ball.)
  • Flatten ball into a disk. Chill if necessary for easy rolling.
  • Roll out on floured surface 1/8 in (3 mm) thick. Line a 9 in (23 cm) deep-dish pie plate with pastry. Trim and crimp edges. Chill while preparing the filling.

Filling

  • Sprinkle bread crumbs over bottom of pie shell.
  • Toss remaining ingredients together to coat fruit evenly.
  • Turn into pastry, mounding in centre.

Crumble topping

  • Combine all ingredients in a food processor or with fingertips until crumbly.
  • Pat mixture evenly over filling.

Bake

  • Bake in preheated 400ºF (200ºC) oven on the lower rack 45-50 minutes, or until the fruit is tender.

Notes

Shield pastry with foil for the last 15 minutes of cooking if it becomes too brown.
