This blueberry crumb pie can be put together and in the oven in less than 10 minutes. It uses a refrigerated crust and canned blueberry filling. An added touch of lemon and just the right spices bring the flavor to life. You can also substitute frozen blueberries as long as you increase the amount of cornstarch.
This pie starts with a flaky crust. Be sure to read the directions on the package. Refrigerated pie crusts should always sit at room temperature before use. After placing the crust in the pie plate, it should be placed in the freezer for at least 10 minutes.
To the crust we’ll be adding canned blueberry filling, cornstarch, lemon juice, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Finally we’ll finishing it off with a crumb topping made of brown sugar, flour, and brown sugar. Does that sound perfect, or what?
Blueberry crumb pie delivers that perfect mix of juicy fruit and buttery crunch. The blueberries bake into a deep, jammy filling that’s naturally sweet, slightly tart, and full of aroma. Paired with a flaky bottom crust, the pie already has great texture—but the crumb topping takes it to another level. That golden, buttery layer of sugar, flour, and sometimes oats adds warmth and richness, creating a contrast that makes every bite more satisfying. It’s the kind of pie that feels both rustic and generous, with flavors that appeal to nearly everyone.
Its popularity also comes from how approachable and reliable it is. Blueberries hold their shape well, don’t require peeling, and bake beautifully, making the pie easy for home bakers while still tasting bakery‑quality. The crumb topping gives it a cozy, homemade feel that fits any season—bright enough for summer, comforting enough for fall and winter. That combination of simplicity, texture, and bold berry flavor is what keeps blueberry crumb pie a perennial favorite.
