Blueberry Crumble Pie
Get ready for the ultimate comfort dessert that’s easier than pie—literally. Grab those sweet summer blueberries and transform them into a buttery, jammy masterpiece with a crunchy oat topping that’ll have everyone begging for seconds.
Ingredients
- 4 cups fresh, plump blueberries
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 tbsp cornstarch
- 1 tsp fresh lemon juice
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
- ¾ cup packed light brown sugar
- ½ tsp ground cinnamon
- ½ cup cold, cubed unsalted butter
- 1 store-bought pie crust
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F and place the store-bought pie crust into a 9-inch pie dish.
- In a large bowl, gently toss the fresh blueberries with granulated sugar, cornstarch, and lemon juice until evenly coated.
- Pour the blueberry mixture into the pie crust, spreading it into an even layer.
- In a separate bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, rolled oats, brown sugar, and cinnamon.
- Add the cold, cubed butter to the dry ingredients and use your fingers to pinch and rub the mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs. Tip: Keep the butter cold for a flakier, crispier topping.
- Sprinkle the crumble mixture evenly over the blueberries, covering the entire surface.
- Place the pie on a baking sheet to catch any potential drips and bake for 45–50 minutes.
- Check for doneness when the filling is visibly bubbling around the edges and the topping is golden brown. Tip: If the topping browns too quickly, loosely tent the pie with aluminum foil.
- Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool completely on a wire rack for at least 2 hours. Tip: Allowing the pie to cool fully ensures the filling sets properly and slices cleanly.

– 1/4 cup granulated sugar
– 1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
– 1 cup cold heavy cream
– 8 ounces rich mascarpone cheese
– 1/3 cup powdered sugar
– 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
– 24 crisp ladyfinger cookies
– 1/4 cup blueberry jam
– Fresh mint leaves for garnish
Instructions
1. Combine 1 cup fresh blueberries, 1/4 cup granulated sugar, and 1 tablespoon lemon juice in a small saucepan.
2. Cook over medium heat for 5-7 minutes, stirring constantly until blueberries burst and sauce thickens. (Tip: Press berries gently with your spoon to release more juice.)
3. Remove from heat and cool completely to room temperature, about 20 minutes.
4. Whip 1 cup cold heavy cream in a chilled bowl until soft peaks form, about 3-4 minutes.
5. Beat 8 ounces mascarpone, 1/3 cup powdered sugar, and 1 teaspoon vanilla in a separate bowl until smooth and creamy.
6. Gently fold the whipped cream into the mascarpone mixture until no white streaks remain. (Tip: Use a spatula and fold in a figure-eight motion to maintain airiness.)
7. Spread a thin layer of the cream mixture on the bottom of an 8×8 inch dish.
8. Quickly dip 12 ladyfinger cookies in the cooled blueberry sauce and arrange them in a single layer over the cream.
9. Spread half of the remaining cream mixture evenly over the cookies.
10. Repeat layers with remaining dipped cookies and cream mixture.
11. Warm 1/4 cup blueberry jam in the microwave for 15 seconds until spreadable.
12. Dollop and swirl the jam over the top layer. (Tip: Create decorative swirls using a toothpick for visual appeal.)
13. Cover tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 6 hours, preferably overnight.
14. Garnish with fresh mint leaves before serving.
This beauty sets into cloud-like layers that melt with each spoonful. The tangy blueberry swirl cuts through the rich cream, while the softened cookies add subtle structure. Serve chilled in mason jars for picnics or layer in glasses for elegant individual portions.
