Blueberry Crumble Pie Recipe

Nothing says summer like blueberry crumble pie! Especially when they are in peak season and you picked them yourself!

Many moons ago, we all went blueberry picking (check out our Blueberry Picking Adventure, here) and it inspired this simple but, delicious pie.

It’s perfectly sweet, the filling is just right, and the crumble is crunchy and buttery. Read on for the full step-by-step Blueberry Crumble Pie recipe.

For Filling:

• 1 cup brown sugar
• 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/8 teaspoon of cinnamon
• 2 cups blueberries (if not in season, you can opt for frozen)
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 tablespoons lemon or lime juice
• 1 stick unsalted butter, cubed
• 1 9-inch prepared pie shell or your favorite pie shell homemade recipe

For Crumble Topping:

• 1 cup of brown sugar
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

Equipment:

• 2 mixing bowls (1 for filling, the other for crumble topping)
• Spatula
• Cooling rack

Step 1: Pick, Wash, and De-Stem

Preheat the oven to 375°F. After you’ve visited your local blueberry farm (or hit up the grocery store), take the 2 cups of fresh blueberries and wash thoroughly.

Make sure that none of those delicious berries have any stems on them.

This is the perfect job for little helping hands if you got them on the ready!

You can opt for fresh blueberries or frozen from the grocery store.

Step 2: Prepare Your Filling

In your mixing bowl, add 1 cup of brown sugar, 1/2 cup of all-purpose flour, and 1/8 teaspoon of cinnamon. Mix until combined. Before you add 1 teaspoon of vanilla and 2 tablespoons of lemon, grab your berries!

Step 3: Fold Those Berries In

With a soft spatula, start mixing in all of your berries. Be gentle so that you don’t burst any of the berries, if you do, it’s not a big deal!

Once the berries are fully coated, you add 2 tablespoons of lemon juice and 1 teaspoon of vanilla. Fold it again and let the filling rest for 20-30 minutes and toss occasionally so that they release their juices.

Step 4: Fill the Pie

Add your mixture into the pie shell. If you made your own be sure to crinkle the sides before adding the mixture. I prefer to scoop it in, that way it was more even.

Step 5: Prepare the Butter & Make the Crumble

Take a full stick of butter and cut it directly down the center. Cut it in half and then into quarters.

Place them evenly onto the pie filling.

The next step is super easy, in a separate bowl, you take about 4 tablespoons of butter and put it in the microwave for about 30-45 seconds to melt.

After the butter is melted, add 1 cup of brown sugar and 1 cup of all-purpose flour into the butter.

Use your hands to fold the ingredients together to form a crumble. If you prefer, you can easily use a food processor. Have the dry mixture in the container and while it is stirring, slowly add the butter to it.

This way is much faster but, for such a little bit of crumble, I didn’t want the mess.

Step 6: Bake This Blueberry Beauty

Bake for about 35 minutes and when the filling is bubbling. Remove from oven when the top is golden brown.

Baking time will vary depending on your oven. But, once it’s nice and golden brown, it’s ready! Cool the pie fully on a wire rack.

After you’ve taken the pie out, make sure to let it cool so that the filling sets. After that, all you have to do is SERVE and ENJOY!

Can I Use Frozen Berries?

Yes! If you do use frozen blueberries, make sure to thaw them first. It’s not 100% necessary and you can get away with using them half-thawed.

To thaw, place the berries in a colander over a bowl to catch the juices. Gently pat with a paper towel once thawed and proceed with the recipe.

How Long Is Pie Good For?

This pie can keep at room temperature for about a day. Then you should wrap it up tightly and it can be chilled for up to 5-7 days.

It can also be frozen, just make sure it is wrapped tightly and it can last up to 2 months.

Once you’re ready for pie, you just thaw it in the fridge and then bake to warm it up.

Enjoy!

The girls definitely enjoyed this Blueberry Crumble Pie, we also brought some over for the grandparents and they loved it too. It’s definitely a family favorite and a summer must!

Nothing like local berries, family time, and having these little ones feel so accomplished.
