Ingredients
Scale
- 1 9-inch pie crust
- 3 cups (710 ml) blueberries (fresh or frozen)
- 1 cup (200 g) white sugar
- ⅓ cup (40 g) all-purpose flour
- 2 eggs
- ⅔ cup (160 ml) sour cream
- 1/8 tsp salt
- ¼ cup (50 g) white sugar
- ¼ cup (50 g) brown sugar
- ½ cup (60 g) all-purpose flour
- ¼ cup (57 g) butter (cold and cubed)
Instructions
- Preparation: Preheat oven to 350°F (177°C) and position pie crust in a 9-inch dish, ensuring even placement.
- Fruit Layer: Distribute fresh blueberries uniformly across the pie crust bottom, creating a consistent foundation.
- Custard Formation: Whisk together granulated sugar, flour, salt, whole eggs, and sour cream until achieving a silky, homogeneous texture.
- Filling Assembly: Gently cascade the custard mixture over the blueberries, guaranteeing complete and balanced coverage.
- Crumble Construction: Combine brown sugar, granulated sugar, and flour, then integrate chilled butter using a pastry cutter until forming irregular, coarse crumbs.
- Topping Application: Liberally scatter the buttery crumb mixture across the custard surface, developing a textured, even layer.
- Baking Process: Center the pie in the preheated oven, baking for 50-55 minutes until achieving a delicate golden-brown hue. Shield crust edges with aluminum foil if browning too rapidly.
- Cooling and Setting: Transfer pie to a wire rack, allowing it to cool to room temperature, then refrigerate to solidify the custard and enhance serving consistency.
Notes
- Chill Butter Thoroughly: Use extremely cold butter for the crumble topping to achieve a perfect, crumbly texture that creates delightful crispy layers.
- Check Custard Consistency: Whisk eggs and sour cream until completely smooth to prevent lumpy or grainy custard texture in the final pie.
- Protect Pie Edges: Use aluminum foil strategically to prevent over-browning, ensuring a beautifully golden crust without burning the delicate edges.
- Patience in Cooling: Allow the pie to cool completely at room temperature before refrigerating, which helps the custard set perfectly and enhances overall flavor blending.
