Prep Time: 20 mins
Cook Time: 45 mins
Total Time: 1 hrs 5 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 8 servings
Ingredients
- 2 cups fresh blueberries
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 pre-made pie crust
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup butter, softened
- 1/2 cup rolled oats
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). This will ensure that your pie bakes evenly and thoroughly.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the fresh blueberries, granulated sugar, lemon juice, cornstarch, and cinnamon. Gently toss the ingredients together until the blueberries are well coated and the mixture is combined. Set aside to allow the flavors to meld.
- Take your pre-made pie crust and place it in a 9-inch pie dish. Press it gently into the bottom and sides of the dish, ensuring there are no air bubbles. Trim any excess crust hanging over the edges, if necessary.
- Pour the blueberry filling into the prepared pie crust, spreading it evenly across the bottom.
- In a separate bowl, prepare the crumb topping by combining the all-purpose flour, brown sugar, rolled oats, and softened butter. Use a fork or your fingers to mix the ingredients together until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Evenly sprinkle the crumb topping over the blueberry filling in the pie crust, ensuring that it covers the blueberries completely.
- Place the pie in the preheated oven and bake for 45 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.
- Once baked, remove the pie from the oven and allow it to cool on a wire rack for at least 20 minutes. This cooling time will help the filling set up a bit more.
- After cooling, slice the pie into wedges and serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy your delicious Everyday Blueberry Crumb Pie!
Tips
- Choose the Freshest Blueberries: For the most vibrant flavor, use fresh, ripe blueberries. If fresh aren't available, high-quality frozen berries work great too!
- Room Temperature Matters: Let your butter soften naturally at room temperature for the perfect crumb topping texture.
- Prevent a Soggy Bottom: Sprinkle a thin layer of breadcrumbs or crushed graham crackers on the pie crust before adding the filling to keep the bottom crisp.
- Cooling is Crucial: Resist the temptation to cut into the pie immediately. Letting it cool helps the filling set and makes for cleaner, prettier slices.
- Serve with Flair: A scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream can elevate this pie from delicious to absolutely divine!
