This semi-homemade recipe for this amazing blueberry crumb pie is easy to make and so delicious to eat.  

We all remember our first job.  When I was a young teenager,  I worked at a local farm…in the “Pick Your Own” blueberry fields.  Sitting under an awning, I would hand out the buckets, weigh the berries, and read my Teen Beat magazine.  Life was good.

One of the perks of this first job was that I could pick some blueberries to bring home with me for my family.  As a young teenager, I would experiment in my mom’s kitchen, trying out recipes and creating tasty treats.

I don’t remember where this recipe originally came from.  I have made a few adjustments over time to make it my own.  Fast forward almost thirty years, I am still making it.

My family and I recently went blueberry picking.  I find it so relaxing to be out at the local farm, enjoying the fresh air and nature’s beauty.  Then to come home and bake is one of my favorite things.  Nothing makes me happier.

This pie is so delicious and easy to make.  By itself or paired with fresh whipped cream, you will love this semi-homemade delight.

Set out a half of stick of butter to soften.  You will need this later to make that delectable crumb topping.

Begin with about 3 pounds of blueberries.  You can use fresh or frozen.

I had froze some of our blueberries in freezer bags.  When I was ready to bake this delicious dessert, I just rinsed them in a colander.

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.

Of course, you can make your own pie crust, but sometimes a pre-made crust is just a little easier.  🙂

Unroll the crust, place it in a pie plate, and add the blueberries to the pie crust.  You can use either a deep dish pie plate or a regular pie plate.

Next, combine 2/3 cup of sugar, about 3/8 cup of cornstarch, 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon, and 1/4 teaspoon of allspice.

Add 2 tablespoons of lemon juice and 3 tablespoons of water.  Mix well.

Pour this sweet mixture over the blueberries in the pie crust.

Now, for the crumb topping.

Mix 1/4 cup softened butter with 1/4 cup granulated sugar and 1/2-2/3 cup of flour.  You want this mixture to be crumbly.  Begin with 1/2 cup flour and slowly add more to get the desired texture.

Sprinkle topping on the pie.

The appetizing aroma of this sweet goodness will begin to fill your home.

Serve the pie with fresh whipped cream, vanilla ice cream or just alone.  Either way, it’s absolutely delicious.

    1. Thank you so much for your kind words. I hope you give it a try and enjoy it. Best wishes for a great week!

  2. This looks delicious! To be honest, I’ve never been blueberry picking before and I’m a Connecticut native too! It feels like it should be on my summer bucket list 🙂

    1. Oh…you should go! I find it so peaceful and relaxing. My husband always jokes that I probably eat as many as I pick…they’re sooo delicious!

  3. Making pies scare me (the crust anyway), so I’ll just sit here and drool over your pictures if you don’t mind!

    1. You are too funny, Cecilia! I took the easy way, with a Pillsbury pie crust! Wishing you a wonderful weekend!:)

  4. Blueberry pie is so good. The berries are not ready here yet, but when they are I will be making one of these. It looks really good.

    1. Thank you so much for your kind words, Leanna! I hope you enjoy this recipe. Wishing you a great week ahead!

  5. Yummy! I’m sugar free – have you ever made this with a sugar substitute? I know a cup of coffee would be divine next to this!

    1. I am a coffee girl and this pie definitely pairs well with a cup! I have never made it sugar free and I am not sure. I looked it up and you may want to try 1/2 cup of honey and 1/4 teaspoon baking soda in place of 2/3 cup sugar. I am not sure how it will come out, but it’s worth a try! Let me know if you do. 🙂

  6. I am pinning and printing! This looks so delicious! No blueberry farms down here in SoCal….so I will just have to experience that vicariously through your post!
    Thank you for sharing (another one) this wonderful recipe !!!

    1. Thank you so much for your kind words, Kristine! I hope you give this pie a try. It really is a treat!
      We visited SoCal a few years back. It is such a beautiful part of our country! My husband and I fell in love with San Diego and the surrounding area. I think we need to go back one of these days!
