Instructions
Step 1: Preheat and Prepare
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the mixed berries, granulated sugar, flour, freshly squeezed lemon juice, lemon zest, and salt. Stir gently to mix.
Step 2: Make the Crumb Topping
- In another bowl, combine the flour, old-fashioned oats, cold butter (or vegan butter), cinnamon, and nutmeg.
- Mix until you achieve a crumbly texture with small clumps.
Step 3: Assemble the Pie
- Pour the mixed berry filling into a 9-inch pie dish, spreading evenly.
- Sprinkle the crumb topping over the berry filling, ensuring even coverage.
Step 4: Bake
- Place the pie in the preheated oven and bake for about 45 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
- If the topping browns too quickly, cover loosely with foil for the last 10 minutes.
Step 5: Cool and Serve
- Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool on a cooling rack for about 10 minutes before serving.
- Enjoy it warm or at room temperature, optionally with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.

Notes
You can use a mix of fresh and frozen berries depending on your preference.
Consider chilling the berry mixture before filling to help retain the shape and prevent a runny pie.
Feel free to mix up the berries based on what you have on hand or your personal taste.
