Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/4 cups (160 g) all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup (115 g) unsalted butter, cold and cubed
  • 23 tbsp ice water
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 2 cups (300 g) fresh or frozen blueberries
  • 1/2 cup (100 g) granulated sugar
  • 2 tbsp cornstarch
  • 1/4 cup (60 ml) fresh lemon juice
  • 1 tbsp lemon zest
  • 1/2 cup (60 g) all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup (45 g) rolled oats
  • 1/3 cup (70 g) brown sugar
  • 1/4 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 cup (60 g) unsalted butter, melted

Instructions

  1. In a mixing bowl, combine the flour and salt. Add the cold, cubed butter and use a pastry blender to mix until the texture resembles coarse crumbs. Gradually add ice water, one tablespoon at a time, until the dough just comes together. Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
  2. In a large bowl, toss the blueberries with sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice, and lemon zest. Let sit for 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
  3. In another bowl, combine flour, oats, brown sugar, and cinnamon. Stir in melted butter until the mixture is crumbly.
  4. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Roll out the chilled pie dough on a floured surface until it’s about 1/8-inch thick. Transfer to a 9-inch pie dish and trim any excess. Crimp the edges if desired.
  5. Pour the blueberry filling into the crust, spreading it evenly. Sprinkle the crumble topping generously over the filling.
  6. Place the pie on a baking sheet to catch any drips and bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the filling is bubbly and the topping is golden brown.
  7. Allow the pie to cool completely before slicing. This helps the filling set and makes for cleaner slices.

Notes

For a flaky crust, ensure the butter is ice-cold. If the topping browns too quickly, cover the pie loosely with aluminum foil during the last 10 minutes of baking. Thaw and drain frozen blueberries to avoid excess liquid.
