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 (can substitute with raspberries)

Crumb Topping:

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

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Cream Filling: In a mixing bowl, combine the sugar and flour until evenly mixed. Add the sour cream, eggs, and vanilla extract, then blend thoroughly until the filling is smooth and well incorporated.
  2. Assemble the Pie: Place the fresh or frozen blueberries evenly into the prepared pie crust. Pour the cream filling over the blueberries, ensuring it covers them evenly for consistent texture and flavor.
  3. Make the Crumb Topping: In a separate bowl, mix together the brown sugar, sugar, ground cinnamon, and ground nutmeg. Slowly pour the melted butter into the mixture and stir well. Gradually add the flour while stirring to form a crumbly topping mixture.
  4. Top the Pie: Evenly distribute the crumb topping over the pie, covering the cream filling and blueberries completely to create a delicious textured crust.
  5. Bake the Pie: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake the pie for 55 minutes. If the crust edges start browning too quickly, cover them with tin foil halfway through baking to prevent burning.
  6. Serve: Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool slightly. Serve warm or at room temperature, optionally paired with ice cream for an extra indulgent dessert experience.

Notes

  • You can substitute raspberries for blueberries for a delicious variation.
  • Cover pie crust edges with foil during baking if they brown too fast.
  • This pie is a hybrid between a traditional pie and a cobbler, offering a unique texture.
  • Use fresh or frozen berries as preferred; frozen berries may require no thawing.
  • Serve warm with ice cream for the best flavor contrast.
