    I've got a recipe for Pate Brisee Pastry so I'll use that

    Because I'm lazy I googled this recipe instead of typing it myself. It's absolutely delish and the pecans and oats make it feel like it's healthy

    I make it with thinly sliced pink lady (or similar) apples and a punnet of blueberries

    Blueberry Pecan Crumble

    If you don’t have enough blueberries, toss in any other fruit like chopped apple, plums, peaches, bananas or pears.

    * 100 g (4 oz) pecan pieces 100 g (4 oz) plain flour
    * 120 g old-fashioned/rolled oats
    * 100 g packed dark brown sugar
    * 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
    * A pinch of salt
    * 8 tablespoons chilled butter, cut into small pieces
    * 400 g blueberries
    * 1/2 lemon, juiced
    * 1 tablespoon sugar
    * 2 tablespoons plain flour

    Preheat oven to 180?C, 350?F, gas mark 4. In a large bowl combine pecans, most of the flour, oats, brown sugar, salt and butter, and rub until combined and mixture resembles bread crumbs. Place the blueberries in a baking dish and squeeze the lemon juice over. Sprinkle with sugar, cinammon and the remaining flour, and toss to coat. Scatter the topping over the berries and bake until golden brown, about 45 minutes.

    ETA - it's not quite a pie but it's too yummy to be left out while we're talking hot fruity deserts. I love it with a nice rich custard.
