Instructions

Step 1

Prepare the Filling

In a large bowl, combine all the ingredients for the filling: low-fat cottage cheese, sour cream, eggs, vanilla sugar, sugar, cornstarch, and raspberries.

Using a mixer, beat the mixture for a couple of minutes until smooth and creamy. This will ensure a delightful texture for your pie's filling.

Step 2

Make the Dough

In a separate bowl, sift the all-purpose flour. To make the mixing easier, grate the cold butter into the flour, then mix it with your hands.

Add in the sugar and baking powder. Continue to mix until you achieve a sandy or crumbly texture. This will be the base of your pie crust.

Step 3

Assemble the Pie

Take 2/3 of the dough mixture and press it into the base of your prepared pie pan. For added flavor, you can spread a layer of jam or crushed raspberries on top of the dough.

Pour the prepared filling over this layer and smooth it out with a spatula. Finally, crumble the remaining dough over the top of the pie.

Step 4

Bake the Pie

Preheat your oven to 180 degrees Celsius (356 degrees Fahrenheit). Place the pie in the oven and bake for about 40 minutes, or until the top is nicely golden brown and crisp.

Once it’s done baking, allow the pie to cool completely. This will help the filling set and enhance the flavors.

Step 5

Serve and Enjoy

After cooling, slice the pie into portions. Enjoy your raspberry crumble pie as a delightful dessert any day of the week!

It’s perfect for sharing with family and friends. Pair it with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a special treat!

Faq

  • Can I use frozen raspberries instead of fresh?

    Absolutely! Just make sure to thaw and drain them to remove excess moisture before using them in the filling.

  • Why is my pie crust not holding together?

    This can happen if there is too much flour or not enough fat. Make sure you measure carefully, and a little extra water can help bind it if needed.

  • Can I prepare the filling in advance?

    Yes, you can prepare the filling a day prior; just store it in the fridge until you’re ready to assemble the pie.

  • What can I do to prevent the crust from burning?

    Use pie weights or a layer of parchment paper with weights while pre-baking the crust. Also, keep an eye on the pie in the last 10 minutes of baking!

  • How can I tell if the pie is done baking?

    The pie is done when the filling is set and the top is golden brown. A knife inserted in the center should come out clean.

  • I want to make my pie look more appealing. Any tips?

    Creating a decorative edge on the crust and using fresh berries on top can add an inviting touch. A light dusting of powdered sugar can also elevate the presentation!
