Recipe type: Holiday Dessert
Cuisine: Pie
Serves: 8-10 slices
Ingredients
  • 1 pre-made frozen pie crust (I use Pillsbury Deep Dish) Crust should be 9-91/2 inches in diameter
  • PIE FILLING:
  • 4-5 cups fresh blueberries (at least 4 cups but up to 5)
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • 2½ tbsp cornstarch
  • 2 tbsp fresh lemon juice
  • 1 tsp fresh lemon zest
  • CRUMBLE TOPPING
  • ¾ cup all-purpose flour
  • 3 tbsp granulated sugar
  • 3 tbsp light brown sugar, packed
  • ½ tsp ground cinnamon
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • 5 tbsp melted butter
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Get pie crust out of the freezer and set aside. (They are supposed to thaw for about 10-15 minutes before being filled.)
  2. Wash your blueberries and remove any stems or bad berries. Then gently pat dry with a paper towel or clean hand towel.
  3. In a medium-sized bowl, stir together the ½ cup sugar, the lemon zest, and cornstarch. Mix well.
  4. Add the blueberries and lemon and stir until berries are all coated with mixture. Set aside.
  5. Next, prepare crumble topping by combining the flour, 3 tbsp granulated sugar, brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt. Mix well and then add the melted butter and stir until everything holds together and is crumbly.
  6. Pour blueberry mixture into pie crust. (It will be really full. Mound it towards the middle if needed.)
  7. Evenly cover the top of the blueberries with the crumble topping.
  8. I like to place the pie on a cookie sheet to bake in case the filling overflows at all.
  9. Bake at 375 degrees for 1 hour and 15 minutes. After about 40 minutes, lightly cover the top of the pie with a sheet of foil to keep the crumble from getting too dark.
  10. Let pie cool completely before cutting into slices.
  11. ENJOY!
  12. **Refrigerate leftovers, or if not using the pie immediately, refrigerate it after it is completely cooled.
  13. **Pie can also be frozen once it is completely cooled. Wrap tightly with foil and place in a large Ziploc bag, or cover with plastic wrap after the foil.
