  • Combine 4 cups blueberries (frozen or fresh) with ½ cup sugar, 3 tablespoons flour, and 1 teaspoon cinnamon. Stir to coat berries well. If your berries are frozen, add an extra tablespoon of flour to compensate for the extra fluid release.

  • Add the blueberries to the prepared crust. If there is some of the sugar mixture that did not stick to the blueberries, then spread that over the top of the berries.

    adding crumble topping to pie
  • About 20 minutes into the baking, you should protect the edge of the crust with foil or one of those fancy pie rings. Bake for 40-50 minutes until nicely brown. About 10 minutes longer if berries are frozen.

Pro Tips

  1. This is written for a 9-inch pie pan.
  2. I don’t thaw frozen berries before using but remember to add the extra flour and to bake longer.
  3. Officially, you should cut in cold butter but the soft works fine for me, just be sure to break it up when covering the pie. I continue my lazy ways. 
  4. Do not skip protecting to edge of the pie with foil or you will have poor results.
  5. Do the full 2-hour cooling before cutting. Restrain yourself.
  6. Good sealed and refrigerated for 2-3 days and can be frozen for 3-4 months.
