Recipe Directions

Step 1: Prepare the Crust

  1. In a food processor, pulse together the flour, sugar, and salt. Add the cold, cubed butter and pulse until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  2. Gradually add the ice water, one tablespoon at a time, and pulse until the dough comes together. Be careful not to overmix.
  3. Shape the dough into a disc, wrap it in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

Step 2: Make the Blueberry Filling

  1. In a bowl, gently toss the fresh blueberries with granulated sugar, lemon juice, and cornstarch until the berries are coated evenly. Set aside.

Step 3: Prepare the Crumble Topping

  1. In another bowl, mix together the flour, rolled oats, brown sugar, and melted butter until crumbly. Set aside.

Step 4: Assemble the Tart

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a tart pan or pie dish.
  2. On a lightly floured surface, roll out the chilled dough into a circle slightly larger than the tart pan.
  3. Carefully transfer the dough to the pan, pressing it gently into the bottom and sides.
  4. Pour the prepared blueberry filling into the tart shell, spreading it evenly.
  5. Sprinkle the crumble topping over the blueberries, covering them completely.

Step 5: Bake to Perfection

  1. Place the tart on a baking sheet to catch any drips and bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes or until the crust is golden and the blueberries are bubbling.
