A delightful twist on the classic blueberry pie, featuring a buttery streusel topping.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Preheating ensures even baking from the start.
Place your pie crust into a pie pan and crimp the edges for a decorative touch.
Chilling the crust before filling helps maintain its shape during baking.
In a mixing bowl, gently combine the blueberries, sugar, flour, cinnamon, and lemon juice.
Mix gently to avoid crushing the blueberries.
Pour the blueberry mixture evenly into the prepared pie crust.
Spread the filling evenly for consistent baking.
In another bowl, mix the flour and brown sugar for the topping, then cut in the butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Using cold butter ensures a crumbly texture.
Sprinkle the streusel topping evenly over the blueberry filling.
Ensure the topping covers the filling completely for even browning.
Bake the pie in the preheated oven for 40-50 minutes, until the filling is bubbling and the topping is golden brown.
If the crust edges brown too quickly, cover them with foil.
Let the pie cool for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the filling to set.
Cooling enhances the pie's flavor and texture.
