How to Make Blueberry Crumble Pie

Ingredients

Let’s gather our ingredients first. You’ll need:

1 pie dough (homemade or store-bought)
5 cups fresh blueberries (rinsed and patted dry, see notes for using frozen blueberries)
½ cup granulated sugar
2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
1 teaspoon lemon zest
¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
Pinch of all spice
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon cornstarch
¾ cup all-purpose flour
½ cup rolled oats
⅓ cup light brown sugar
⅓ cup granulated sugar
½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
½ cup unsalted butter, softened but still cool, cut into 1-inch pieces

Directions

Pie Crust: Start by rolling out your pie dough and placing it into a pie dish. If you’re using store-bought dough, just follow the package instructions. Set it aside while we prepare the filling.
Filling: In a large bowl, combine those gorgeous blueberries with granulated sugar, lemon juice, lemon zest, ground cinnamon, all spice, flour, and cornstarch. This mixture is going to make your pie irresistible! Gently toss everything together until the blueberries are nicely coated.
Crumble Topping: In another bowl, mix together the flour, oats, light brown sugar, granulated sugar, and ground cinnamon. Then, add in the pieces of butter. Using your fingers or a pastry cutter, work the butter into the mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs. This step is so satisfying!
Assembly: Pour the blueberry filling into the pie crust, spreading it evenly. Then, sprinkle the crumble topping generously over the blueberries. Don’t be shy; you want it to cover all those juicy fruits!

How to Serve Blueberry Crumble Pie

Once your pie is done baking, let it cool for a bit. Serve it warm, perhaps with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream. If you’re feeling adventurous, try it alongside some of your favorite homemade chocolate chip cookies. The warm and cold together create a delightful contrast.

How to Store Blueberry Crumble Pie

If you have leftover pie (which might be a challenge), just cover it with foil or plastic wrap. Store it in the refrigerator for up to three days. If you want to keep it longer, you can freeze the pie for up to two months. Just make sure it’s well wrapped to avoid freezer burn.

Tips to Make Blueberry Crumble Pie

Fresh vs. Frozen: If you’re using frozen blueberries, there’s no need to thaw them. Just toss them in with the rest of the ingredients. This is a great way to enjoy this pie throughout the year.
Flat Crust: To prevent your crust from sagging, chill it in the fridge for at least 30 minutes before baking. This helps it hold its shape.
Crumble Consistency: For a crunchier topping, use a bit more oats. I love adding extra texture, as it makes every bite feel a bit more special.

Variation

You can easily switch it up by mixing other fruits in with the blueberries. Raspberries or sliced peaches work wonderfully here. I love making a mixed berry crumble pie when the seasons change!

FAQs

Can I use other fruits in this recipe?
Absolutely! Raspberries, strawberries, or even peaches can be swapped into the filling. Just make sure to adjust the sugar based on the fruit’s sweetness.

How do I know when my pie is done baking?
Your pie is ready when the filling is bubbling up and the crumble topping is golden brown. This usually takes about 45 to 50 minutes in a preheated oven.

Can I make this pie ahead of time?
Yes, you can bake it a day in advance. Just cover it and keep it in the refrigerator. To serve, warm it up in the oven for a fresh-out-of-the-oven taste.
