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?
