- For pie:
- 1/2 cup white sugar
- 3 tablespoons cornstarch
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 2 tsp lemon juice
- 5 cups fresh blueberries
- 1 recipe pastry for a 9 inch single crust pie
- For topping:
3/4 stick (6 tablespoons) cold unsalted butter
3/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 cup granulated sugar - 1/4 cup brown sugar
- Preheat oven to 425 F
- Mix sugar, cornstarch, salt, cinnamon, and lemon juice and sprinkle over blueberries in a bowl. Mix gently.
- Cut sliced cold butter into other topping ingredients in a seperate bowl until crumbly. You can use your fingers, two knives, or a pastry cutter to do this.
- Line 9" pie dish with pie crust. Crimp edges. Pour berry mixture into the crust, top with crumb topping.
- Bake pie on lower shelf of oven for about 40 minutes, or until top is golden brown and bubbly. After 20 minutes check edges for overbrowning...cover them with foil if you desire. Let sit one hour before slicing, or you'll get a sort of blueberry crumb stew.
