Blueberry Pie

This Blueberry Pie can be made with fresh or frozen berries.  The streusel topping adds extra texture and flavor.

Do you prefer a fruit crisp or a fruit pie?  On one hand I love a fruit crisp because I love the streusel like topping that goes on top of it.  I love the sweet crunchiness of it.  On the other hand I love a good pie too and a nice buttery, flaky crust.

Well, with today’s recipe I no longer have to choose one over the other.  I can have both in one amazing fresh blueberry pie

How to Make Blueberry Pie

• I started with my Perfect Pie Crust to make a flaky, buttery crust.

• Par bake the crust to keep it from getting soggy from the liquid the berries make when they are cooked.  Bake your crust at 350 degrees F for 5  minutes before filling it with fruit.
• Add flour and corn starch in with the fruit to cut down on the liquid.  No one likes a soupy pie!

• Streusel Topping – This is my favorite part. You could always add a pastry crust to the top if you like but one crust on the bottom is enough for me and I love the texture of the streusel topping.

• Bake the pie until the crust is golden brown and the streusel topping is nice and brown too.  I let the pie cool for a while so it sets up a bit.

As far as I’m concerned any and all berry pies must be served topped with a nice big scoop of vanilla ice cream, it’s required!

Thanks to some lemon juice and lemon zest, this blueberry pie has a nice fresh lemon hint to it.  If you aren’t a lemon fan you can leave it out or just cut down on the amount.  I think blueberries and lemons are a perfect combination.
