Ingredients
-
-
3 cups wild blueberries
-
1 cup canned crushed pineapple, drained
-
1/3 cup thawed frozen pina colada concentrate
-
1/4 cup sugar
-
1 1/2 tablespoons cornstarch
-
1 tablespoon rum (light or dark)
-
1/2 teaspoon coconut extract or 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
-
salt (a pinch)
-
-
3/4 cup all-purpose flour
-
3/4 cup sweetened flaked coconut
-
1/2 cup sugar
-
1 pastry for single-crust pie, basic flaky pie pastry, refrigerated
Instructions
- Roll out and fit pastry into a 9-inch pie pan; sculpt the edge into an upstanding ridge; place in freezer for 15 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 400°.
- In a bowl, combine the blueberries, pineapple, and pina colada concentrate in a large bowl.
- In a small bowl, mix the sugar and cornstarch together in a small bowl, then stir the mixture into the fruit.
- Stir in the rum, coconut extract, and salt; scrape the filling into the chilled pie shell; smooth the top with a spoon.
- Place the pie on the center oven rack and bake for 30 minutes.
- Meanwhile, make coconut crumb topping: add flour, coconut, sugar, and salt to a food processor; pulse briefly to mix.
- Scatter the butter over the top and pulse until the mixture starts to form gravelly crumbs.
- Dump the crumbs into a large bowl and rub between your fingers to form large, buttery crumbs; refrigerate until ready to use.
- Remove pie from oven and decrease temperature to 375°; carefully dump the crumbs in the center of the pie, spreading them evenly over the surface; tamp them down lightly.
- Return pie to oven, rotate 180°; slide a large foil lined baking sheet onto the rack below to catch any spills.
- Continue baking about 30 minutes until juices bubble thickly around the edge.
- If top starts to get too brown, cover loosely with foil for the last 15 minutes.
- Transfer pie to a wire rack; let cool for at least 1 hour before serving.
