Mixed Berry Pie (topped with jammy biscuits)

Servings: 10 slices

Ingredients

  • 230g (just over 8 oz) Ready made pastry (for pie crust)
  • 500g (17½ oz) fruit (fresh or frozen)
  • 2 tablespoons water
  • 1 tablespoon cornflour / cornstarch
  • 4 tablespoons sugar (any)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla sugar / vanilla extract
  • 1 packet jam cookies (see note 1)

Instructions

  • Pre-heat the oven to 210°C / 410°F.
  • Remove your pastry from the packaging and place in a pie dish (mine was 28cm / 11").
  • Bake your crust blind for 15 minutes.
  • In the meantime, prepare your filling: add all of the ingredients to a pan and cook for about 10 minutes, just until the fruit soften and the sauce thickens.
  • Take the pie out of the oven and turn it down to 180°C / 356°F.
  • Remove whatever you have used to bake your pie blind, and then set back in the oven for a further 5 minutes.
  • When ready, pour over the berries, spreading to give a nice, even coverage. Top with your jammy biscuits and return to the oven for about 20-25 minutes (if you notice that the biscuits and crust are browning a little too much cover the pie with foil).
  • Remove from the oven, and allow to cool a while. Eat warm or cold. When ready to eat, sprinkle with a little icing sugar for decoration. Serve with cream or ice-cream. Enjoy!

Notes

 
  1. I am in Sweden and used a biscuit called Singoalla. If these are not available where you are, you can literally use any biscuit you like. If you can get hold of Jammie dodgers, they would be an excellent substitute.
 
Disclaimer:
I have converted grams to cups/ounces/tablespoons using online converters. Although I have no reason to believe they are inaccurate, please be aware that I have not made the recipe with imperial measurements.
In addition, many ingredients are different in Europe compared to North America. I do all I can to offer possible alternatives and to ensure the best possible outcomes for everyone. However, results cannot always be guaranteed if you have not used the same ingredients, measurements or methods as me.
Lastly, I do everything I can to ensure that my recipes (and instructions) are accurate and easy to follow. However, I am human, and don't always get it right. If you notice anything strange, a mistake, or even a typo, please let me know in the comments.
