Ingredients

For the Pie Filling:

• 4 cups fresh blueberries
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon cornstarch
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• Zest of 1 lemon

For the Crumble Topping:

• 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/3 cup granulated sugar
• 1/3 cup packed light brown sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• Pinch of salt
• 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

For the Pie Crust:

• Homemade or store-bought pie crust for a 9-inch pie pan

Directions

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Place the pie crust in a 9-inch pie pan and crimp the edges. Set aside.
3. In a large bowl, gently toss together the fresh blueberries, granulated sugar, all-purpose flour, cornstarch, lemon juice, and lemon zest until the blueberries are evenly coated.
4. In another bowl, prepare the crumble topping by combining the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, ground cinnamon, salt, and melted unsalted butter. Mix until crumbly.

Assembling the Pie:

1. Pour the blueberry mixture into the prepared pie crust, spreading it evenly.
2. Sprinkle the crumble topping over the blueberry filling, covering it completely.

Baking:

1. Place the pie on a baking sheet (to catch any drips) and bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes or until the blueberry filling is bubbly and the crumble topping is golden brown.
2. If the edges of the crust begin to brown too quickly, cover them loosely with foil halfway through baking.
3. Once baked, remove the pie from the oven and let it cool on a wire rack before slicing.
