Fast Summer Berry Pie

Fully loaded with summer flavor. [logo]( Bake of the Week Fast Summer Berry Pie [hero]( David Tamarkin Editorial Director Want to hear an unpopular opinion? I don't love a flaky pie crust. Still reading? Many of my fellow Americans may not be, as they simply can't imagine a great pie without a million flaky layers. And look, I respect that point of view, but what's lost in the conversation is voices like mine. I want a crisp crust with a fine, shortbread-like crumb. And I'm not the only one. There's a reason why the French invented [Pâte Sucrée](. For people like me, as well as anybody who has ever been intimidated by pie dough, Molly Marzalek-Kelly has a new recipe: this [Fast Summer Berry Pie](, which uses her ingenious new [Melted Butter Pie Crust](. This is a pie crust that has about a million things going for it. Thanks to the melted butter, it's quick and involves no rolling (you press it in the pie pan with your hands). It has that crisp cookie-like snap that I love. And the crust is bursting with flavor thanks to some [White Whole Wheat Flour]( and a powerful pinch of [Vietnamese cinnamon](. For the Fast Summer Berry Pie, the crust is filled with a mix of sweetened berries. They aren't sweetened too much, though — Molly absolutely nailed the ratio of lemon juice and sugar in this recipe, resulting in a beautifully bright dessert. The berries are then topped with an easy, gingery (or nutty — your choice!) crumb topping. (Another unpopular opinion of mine: I like crumb-topped pies better than double-crusted ones. Sue me!) Both the crust and the crumb topping in this recipe can be kept in your back pocket all summer and used for other pies. Consider them for other fruit pies, cream pies, and custard pies. The only pie it won't work for? Those flaky ones.
