Fresh Berry Crumb Pie

Ingredients
Crumb Crust/Topping:
1 c Hazelnuts or almonds (4oz)
2 c All purpose flour
1/2 c Granulated sugar
3/4 c Chilled butter, cut into small pieces
Filling:
1/2 c Granulated sugar
3/16 T Cornstarch
2 pt Fresh berries (Raspberries, Blueberries, or Strawberries)

Directions: Preheat oven to 350°F.
To prepare crumb crust/topping, spread nuts in a medium baking dish. Roast the nuts, stirring occasionally, until toasted, about 10 minutes. Remove nuts from the oven and turn out onto a cloth towel. Rub off and discard the papery skins. Increase the oven temperature to 450°F. In a food processor fitted with the metal blade, process the nuts till finely ground, about 10 seconds. In a large bowl, mix together the nuts, flour and sugar. Using a pastry blender or 2 knives, cut the butter into the flour mixture until coarse crumbs form. Using fingers, evenly press half the crumb crust/topping mixture into the bottom and sides of an 8 or 9-inch tart pan.
To prepare the filling, in a medium bowl, mix together the sugar and the cornstarch. Gently fold in the berries. Spoon the berry mixture in to the crust, spreading evenly. Sprinkle the berry mixture evenly with the remaining crumb crust/topping mixture. Bake until topping is golden and filling is bubbly, about 30 minutes. Transfer the pan to a wire rack to cool 10 minutes. Serve warm. Recipe submitted by Judy Goldman to rec.food.recipes, 4/8/97. Yield: 6 Servings.
