Plum-Blackberry Streusel
Ingredients
- 1 3/4 pound ripe plums, pitted and quartered
- 3/4 pound blackberries (2 cups)
- 1 1/2 cups sugar, divided
- 3 tablespoons quick-cooking tapioca
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon grated lemon zest
- 3/4 teaspoon salt, divided
- 1/2 recipe all-butter pastry dough
- 1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 stick cold unsalted butter, cut into bits
- Equipment: a 9 1/2-inch deep-dish pie plate
Method
- Put a foil-lined large baking sheet in lower third of oven and preheat oven to 375°F.
- Toss plums and blackberries with 1 cup sugar, tapioca, cornstarch, zest, and 1/4 teaspoon salt in a large bowl.
- Roll out dough into a 13-inch round on a lightly floured surface
with a lightly floured rolling pin. Fit into pie plate. Trim excess
dough, leaving a 1/2-inch overhang. Fold overhang under and press
against rim of pie plate, then crimp decoratively. Chill while making
streusel.
- Stir together oats, flour, and remaining 1/2 cup sugar and 1/2 tsp
salt. Blend in butter with your fingertips until mixture forms small
clumps.
