Crumbly Streusel-Y Blueberry Pie

"i don't remember what prompted me but i decided that i needed to make a bluberry pie. oddly enough, none of my cookbooks had a recipe so i turned to my friend the internet. after finding countless "thaw frozen dough, add canned pie filling" recipes i decided to try and put together one of my own. you will need 1 9-inch pie crust. i like to use one i found here, #20984 flaky pie crust posted by teresa m. it's easy to make and use but, if you have your own favorite, go ahead and use it. though i haven't tried it yet, i have a feeling this would be just as good with any other berry, cherry, apple, or even peach filling. one more note - prep time is estimated and depends mainly on your choice of crust."

directions

  • preheat oven to 375 degrees farenheit.
  • make the blueberry filling.
  • combine berries, 1/2 cup of sugar and 2 tablespoons of lemon juice in a saucepan.
  • heat until sugar is dissolved and mixture has reached boiling point.
  • remove from heat.
  • make the topping.
  • mix 1/2 cup sugar, 1 cup flour and 1/4 teaspoon of salt.
  • cut in butter (or shortening) until crumbly (if you've got one, a food processor works well. a few pulses should suffice).
  • separate out 1/2 cup of this mixture.
  • add nutmeg and cinnamon (if using) to the 1/2 cup portion.
  • make the other filling.
  • add 1 1/2 teaspoons of baking powder to the remaining flour/sugar mixture.
  • combine 1/2 cup milk, egg, and vanilla. add to dry ingredients and combine until moist.
  • pour into pie shell.
  • spoon in blueberry mixture and cut through to marble (use a spoon so you don't accidentally cut through your crust like i did the firt time i made this).
  • sprinkle reserved 1/2 cup of sugar/flour mixture on top.
  • dot with butter and garnish with dashes of cinnamon sugar (if desired).
  • bake 40-45 minutes.

  1. This was a fun recipe, and delicious too. I made the pie crust from <a href="/44055">Grossmummy's pie crusts - MMMmmmm</a>, then the fillings which were quick and easy. It baked up wonderfully, and tasted like heaven. Thank you for a wonderful recipe.
