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
Instructions
- Prepare Cream Filling: In a bowl or mixer, combine the sugar and flour until evenly mixed. Add sour cream, eggs, and vanilla extract, then mix thoroughly to form a smooth cream filling.
- Assemble Pie Base: Place the blueberries evenly into the pie crust, whether fresh or frozen. Pour the prepared cream filling over the blueberries to cover them uniformly.
- Make Crumb Topping: In a separate bowl, mix together the brown sugar, sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Pour in the melted butter and stir well. Gradually add the flour while stirring to create a crumbly topping mixture.
- Top the Pie: Evenly sprinkle the crumb topping over the cream filling layer on the pie.
- Bake: Preheat oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Bake the pie for 55 minutes. If the crust edges become too brown, cover them with tin foil to prevent burning.
- Serve: Remove pie from the oven and allow to cool slightly before serving. Serve warm with a scoop of ice cream for extra indulgence.
Notes
- Use fresh or frozen blueberries; frozen may require slightly longer baking time if very icy.
- If crust edges brown too quickly, tent with foil midway through baking to prevent burning.
- Try substituting raspberries or mixed berries for a different fruit variation.
- Letting the pie cool before slicing helps it set and makes serving cleaner.
- Sour cream can be replaced with Greek yogurt for a tangier taste and lighter texture.
