Ingredients
Scale
Cream Filling:
- 1 cup sugar
- 1/3 cup flour
- 2 eggs
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla
- 3 cups fresh or frozen blueberries
Crumb Topping:
- 2 1/2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
- 1/4 cup butter, melted
- 1/2 cup flour
Additional:
- 1 pie crust
- Ice cream for serving (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the Cream Filling: In a bowl or mixer, combine 1 cup sugar and 1/3 cup flour until well mixed. Add in 1/2 cup sour cream, 2 eggs, and 1/2 teaspoon vanilla. Beat until smooth and fully combined.
- Assemble the Pie: Place 3 cups fresh or frozen blueberries evenly into the prepared pie crust. Pour the cream filling mixture over the blueberries, ensuring an even layer.
- Make the Crumb Topping: In a separate bowl, mix 2 1/2 tablespoons brown sugar, 2 tablespoons regular sugar, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, and 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg. Pour in 1/4 cup melted butter and stir to combine. Gradually add 1/2 cup flour, mixing until a crumbly topping forms.
- Top the Pie: Evenly sprinkle the crumb topping over the filled pie, covering the surface completely.
- Bake the Pie: Preheat the oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Bake the pie for 55 minutes. If the edges of the pie crust brown too quickly, cover them with tin foil to prevent burning.
- Serve and Enjoy: Allow the pie to cool slightly before serving. Serve warm with ice cream for a delightful treat.
Notes
- Use fresh or frozen blueberries; frozen should be thawed and drained for best results.
- If you prefer, substitute raspberries or mixed berries in place of blueberries.
- Cover crust edges with foil halfway through baking to prevent over-browning.
- For a dairy-free version, substitute sour cream with a vegan alternative.
- This pie has a creamy texture like a cobbler, so it’s best enjoyed warm.
- Using a glass pie dish helps monitor crust browning during baking.
