Apricot Raspberry Pie with Hazelnut Streusel Topping
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup all purpose flour
- 1/2 cup hazelnuts (about 2 1/2 ounces)
- 1/4 cup golden brown sugar, (packed)
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 5 tablespoons chilled unsalted butter, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
- 1 1/2 pound ripe apricots, halved, pitted, each half cut into 4 wedges
- 1 cup sugar
- 3 tablespoons all purpose flour
- 1/4 teaspoon ground allspice
- 1 1/2 pint basket raspberries
- 1 Flaky Pie Crust disk
Instructions
Position rack in lowest third of oven and preheat to 400F. Combine first 5 ingredients in processor. Blend using on/off turns until nuts are coarsely chopped. Add butter and cut in using on/off turns until mixture begins to clump together. Transfer streusel to bowl and refrigerate. Combine apricots, sugar, flour and allspice in large bowl; toss to blend. Let stand until dry ingredients are moistened, about 15 minutes. Carefully fold in raspberries. Roll out pie-crust disk on lightly floured surface to 12 1/2-inch round. Transfer crust to 9-inch-diameter glass pie dish. Trim dough overhang to 3/4 inch. Fold overhang under; crimp edges decoratively. Spoon filling into crust. Place pie on baking sheet. Bake until filling begins to bubble at edges, about 45 minutes. Sprinkle streusel topping evenly over pie. Cover crust edges with foil to prevent overbrowning. Bake until crust and topping are golden brown and filling is bubbling thickly in center, about 50 minutes longer. Cool pie on rack at least 2 hours and up to 8 hours. FLAKY PIE CRUST makes 2 crusts 2 1/2 cups all purpose flour 1 1/2 tablespoons sugar 1 1/4 teaspoons salt 2/3 cup solid vegetable shortening, frozen, then cut into 1/2-inch pieces 1/2 cup chilled unsalted butter, (1 stick) cut into 1/2-inch pieces 6 tablespoons ice water, (or more) 2 teaspoons apple cider vinegar Blend flour, sugar and salt in processor. Add shortening and butter and cut in using on/off turns until mixture resembles coarse meal. Transfer mixture to bowl. Mix 6 tablespoons ice water and vinegar in small bowl; pour over flour mixture. Stir with fork until moist clumps form, adding more ice water by teaspoonfuls if dough is dry. Gather dough into 2 balls; flatten each into disk. Wrap each in plastic and chill 30 minutes. (Can be prepared ahead and refrigerated up to 2 days or frozen up to 1 month. If frozen, thaw overnight in refrigerator. Soften slightly at room temperature before using.)
