Why You’ll Love This Recipe!
This pie is versatile and there are so many ways you can take this recipe and change it up. I made this pie with a shortbread crust but it could also be made with a pastry pie crust or a graham cracker crust. It’s made with raspberries but could also be made with blueberries, blackberries or marionberries.
I love the crunch of the streusel topping, the warm, yummy raspberries, the gooey sour cream filling and the sweetness of the shortbread crust. Â A pretty awesome combination. It can be enjoyed warm, cold or room temperature.

How to Make Sour Cream Raspberry Pie
Shortbread Crust:
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
- In a large bowl combine butter, granulated sugar and beat or whisk until light and fluffy. Can be done in a stand mixer or with an electric hand mixer.
- Mix in 2 cups flour and baking powder. Mix until combined.
- Pat dough into a 9 inch pie plate.
- In the bowl of a stand mixer beat eggs until lemon colored.
- Mix in sour cream, vanilla and lemon zest.
- Add in sugar, flour and salt. Mix to combine.
- Gently fold in raspberries by hand.
- Pour into shortbread crust.
- Bake for 30-35 minutes. You may need to cover the edge of the crust with foil if it begins to brown too quickly. Do not cover the center of the pie.
Streusel Topping:
Make streusel topping while pie is baking.
- In a small bowl combine brown sugar, flour, butter and chopped nuts.
- Use a pastry blender or fork to combine crumb topping.
- Remove pie from oven after 30-35 minutes and sprinkle with streusel topping. Return to oven for an additional 5-10 minutes or until topping is golden brown.
You can then let the pie cool and set up. For how long depends on how much self control you have. This is one of those pies that tastes great warm or chilled – you decide. I went for it warm, so let it cool a while but ate it while it was still warm.

The pie was delicious. However, it took longer to bake than the recipe said. I would recommend 45 minutes, then put the topping on for 5-10 more minutes.
