Time 1h25m

Number Of Ingredients 16

PIE CRUST
1 1/2 c graham cracker crumbs
1/2 c melted butter
1/8 c water
PIE FILLING
3-4 c fresh or frozen blueberries (without syrup)
7 Tbsp cornstarch
3 Tbsp water
4 Tbsp lemon juice
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/4 tsp allspice
2/3 c sugar
TOPPING
1/4 c sugar
1/2 c flour
1/4 c butter (softened)

Steps:

  • 1. Pre-heat oven to 375.
  • 2. Graham Cracker Crust: Combine graham cracker crumbs, one stick of butter and water. Press into pie plate and refrigerate for 1 hour (to prevent crumbling when serving)
  • 3. Rinse blueberries. Pick out and remove any bits of stems, leaves and soft or mushy berries. It is easiest to do this in a large bowl of water and gently run your hands through the berries as they float. With your fingers slightly apart, you will easily feel any soft or mushy berries get caught in your fingers.
  • 4. Combine the 2/3 cup sugar, 7 Tablespoons of corn starch in a bowl and mix well! stir in either 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon and/or 1/4 teaspoon of allspice, mixed in (optional)
  • 5. Add the 2 Tablespoons of lemon juice, and 3 Tablespoons of water (or grape juice) and stir it up.
  • 6. Pour blueberries into pie crust. There's lots of air space and it will cook down, so don't worry if they mound up about an inch (2.5 cm) above the edge of the plate.
  • 7. pour the mixture of sugar, juice, etc. into the pie all over the blueberries. If it is a gloppy liquid, don't worry, just pour it somewhat evenly over the top. But it doesn't take perfection; it will smooth itself out in the oven.
  • 8. Crumb Topping: 1/4 cup sugar 1/2 cup flour 1/4 cup butter Mix together in a small bowl and sprinkle it over the pie.
  • 9. Bake 375F for 1 hour or until golden brown and filling is bubbly. Will keep 1 week in the frige (if it lasts that long)

Wow! I'm thoroughly impressed. The blueberry pie was rustic yet refined. The flavors were perfectly balanced and the crumb topping was spot-on. Will definitely be making this again.

I added a dollop of whipped cream on top and oh boy, was it heavenly! The pie itself deserves 5 stars, but the whipped cream took it to another level. Wholeheartedly recommend!

I made this pie for a church potluck and it was an instant hit! The vibrant color of the blueberries peeking through the lattice crust drew everyone in. It disappeared within minutes. Thanks for sharing!

This recipe is a keeper. My family raved about it. The buttery crust, tangy filling, and sweet crumb topping were a match made in heaven. Definitely going into my regular baking rotation.

This pie had a perfect balance of tart and sweet. The gooey blueberry filling was the star, while the crust provided a sturdy base. Crumb topping added a delightful textural contrast. Highly recommended!

Crust was a tad soggy, not as crispy as hoped. But the blueberry filling was divine! The burst of sweet and tart flavors in every bite made up for it. With some crust tweaking, this could be a perfect pie.

Amazing recipe, but mine turned out a bit too sweet. Next time, I'll reduce the sugar slightly. Regardless, it was a visual masterpiece. Will be making it again with some adjustments.

Nice recipe! The blueberries held their shape nicely and the sugar to lemon juice ratio was perfect. I used a store-bought crust to save time. It was a crowd-pleaser at our picnic.
