Steps:

  • Make topping: In medium bowl, with hands, combine flour, oats, brown sugar, almonds, lemon zest and salt. Add butter and squeeze to form small clumps. Refrigerate until ready to use.
  • Heat oven to 375°F. Fit dough into bottom and up side of 9-inch pie plate. If necessary, trim dough so overhang is even all the way around (about 1/2 inch from edge of pie plate). Fold overhang under itself to create thicker rim of dough and crimp as desired. Refrigerate at least 20 minutes
  • Make filling: In large bowl, mash blackberries and granulated sugar. Add pears, corn-starch, cinnamon, lemon zest and salt and toss to combine.
  • Transfer to pie crust, top with crumb mixture and transfer to rimmed baking sheet. Bake until pears are tender and topping is golden brown, 1 to 1 1/2 hour, making sure to cover with foil if topping or crust begins to get too dark.

Tips:

  • Choose ripe and flavorful pears: Use ripe, juicy pears for the best flavor. Bartlett, Anjou, and Bosc pears are all good choices.
  • Use fresh blackberries: Fresh blackberries will give the pie the best flavor. If you can't find fresh blackberries, you can use frozen blackberries, but thaw them completely before using.
  • Make sure the butter is cold: Cold butter is essential for a flaky crust. If the butter is too warm, it will melt and make the crust tough.
  • Work the dough quickly: Don't overwork the dough, or it will become tough. Work it just until it comes together and forms a ball.
  • Chill the dough before baking: Chilling the dough before baking will help it to hold its shape and prevent it from shrinking.
  • Bake the pie until the crust is golden brown: The pie is done baking when the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.

Conclusion:

This harvest pear and blackberry pie is a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that is perfect for any occasion. The sweet and juicy pears and blackberries are complemented perfectly by the flaky crust. This pie is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
