  • 1 tbsp (15 mL) lemon juice
  • 1/3 cup (75 mL) granulated sugar
  • 3 tbsp (45 mL) cornstarch
  • 1 cup (250 mL) old-fashioned or quick-cooking oats

Steps

  •  
    1
    Heat oven to 425ºF. Unroll crust. Place in 9-inch glass pie plate; flute edges. Line crust with 10-inch round of cooking parchment paper or foil. Fill with dried beans or pie weights. Bake 8 to 9 minutes or until crust is set. Remove parchment and beans. Cover edge of crust with strips of foil to prevent excessive browning. Bake 6 to 7 minutes longer or until crust is golden. Cool completely on cooling rack, about 15 minutes.

    Line baking sheet with foil. Place pie plates on foil-lined baking sheet. Cover pie with foil; bake 15 minutes. Reduce heat to 375ºF; bake 45 to 50 minutes longer or until bubbly. Remove foil from pie; bake 20 to 25 minutes longer or until topping is golden brown. Cool completely on cooling rack, 2 to 3 hours.

Expert Tips

  • Tip 1
    Kitchen Tips: Old-fashioned oats are larger than quick-cooking oats, but either can be used in this crisp. The old-fashioned oats give a little more texture and flavour to the crisp.
  • Tip 2
    Substitution: Frozen (thawed and drained) blueberries and raspberries can be substituted for the fresh berries.
