Ingredients

Scale

Cream Filling:

  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1/3 cup flour
  • 2 eggs
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3 cups fresh or frozen blueberries (raspberries can be used as an alternative)

Crumb Topping:

  • 2 1/2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/4 cup butter, melted
  • 1/2 cup flour

Additional:

  • 1 prepared pie crust

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Cream Filling: In a mixing bowl or using a mixer, combine sugar and flour thoroughly. Then add sour cream, eggs, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth and well incorporated.
  2. Fill the Pie Crust: Place the fresh or frozen blueberries evenly into the prepared pie crust. Pour the cream filling mixture evenly over the blueberries.
  3. Make the Crumb Topping: In a separate bowl, mix together brown sugar, sugar, ground cinnamon, and ground nutmeg. Slowly pour in the melted butter and stir well. Gradually add the flour while mixing until crumbly topping forms.
  4. Add Crumb Topping to Pie: Evenly sprinkle the crumb topping over the cream and blueberry filled pie crust.
  5. Bake the Pie: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake the pie for about 55 minutes. If the edges of the pie crust start to brown too much, cover them with tin foil to prevent burning.
  6. Serve: Remove from oven and allow to cool slightly. Serve the pie warm, optionally with a scoop of ice cream for an extra special treat.

Notes

  • If using frozen blueberries, no need to thaw them before baking.
  • Cover pie crust edges with foil halfway through baking to avoid over-browning.
  • This pie can be made with raspberries or mixed berries as alternatives to blueberries.
  • The pie is a unique cross between traditional pie and cobbler styles with its crumb topping and creamy filling.
  • Let the pie cool for at least 30 minutes before slicing to ensure filling sets properly.
