In case you haven’t noticed, blueberries are in season right now. I just purchased 4 pints at a market for only $5. I love blueberries and especially love making a fresh pie for guests this time of year. I wanted to share this very simple recipe with you so you can enjoy it too. If you bring this to a potluck or party, people will talk about it for years to come. You don’t have to tell how easy it was to make.
Betsy’s Fresh Blueberry Streusel Pie
1 prepared pie shell (I use Pilsbury Ready Crusts on busy holidays)
4 Cups Fresh Blueberries
2/3 Cup Sugar
1/4 C Flour
1 1/2 Tbsp. Lemon Juice
1/4 tsp. Cinnamon
Preheat oven to 450 degrees F. Mix berries, sugar, flour lemon juice and cinnamon in a large bowl. Place mixture into a 9 inch pie shell. and sprinkle with streusel topping (see below)
Streusal
2 Tbsp. Butter melted
3 Tbsp. Flour
5 Tbsp. Brown Sugar
1/2 tsp. Cinnamon
dash of salt
Bake for 10 minutes at 450 degrees, then lower heat to 350 and bake an additional 35-40 minutes. You may need to lightly cover pie with foil if topping should become too brown.
Serve warm with vanilla ice cream or fresh whipped cream. Enjoy!
