Ingredients

• 5 cups fresh blueberries
• 0.75 cups granulated sugar
• 3 tablespoons cornstarch
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 0.5 teaspoons lemon zest
• 1 piece pre-made pie crust (9-inch)
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 0.5 cups brown sugar
• 0.5 cups unsalted butter (cold, cubed)
• 0.5 teaspoons ground cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoons salt

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Rinse and dry the blueberries and place them in a large mixing bowl.

Step 3

Add the granulated sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice, and lemon zest to the blueberries. Gently toss until the blueberries are evenly coated.

Step 4

Roll out the pre-made pie crust into a 9-inch pie dish. Trim any excess overhang and crimp the edges as desired. Set aside.

Step 5

Pour the blueberry mixture into the prepared pie crust and spread it out evenly.

Step 6

To prepare the crumb topping, combine the all-purpose flour, brown sugar, ground cinnamon, and salt in a medium bowl.

Step 7

Add the cold, cubed butter to the dry ingredients. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to work the butter into the flour mixture until it forms pea-sized crumbles.

Step 8

Sprinkle the crumb topping evenly over the blueberry filling, ensuring full coverage.

Step 9

Place the pie on a baking sheet to catch any drips and bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the filling bubbles and the topping is golden brown.

Step 10

If the edges of the crust brown too quickly during baking, cover them with aluminum foil or a pie shield.

Step 11

Once baked, remove the pie from the oven and allow it to cool completely on a wire rack before serving. This helps the filling set.

Step 12

Serve warm or at room temperature, optionally with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
