Ingredients
  

  • 1 Batch Pie dough Partially baked crust in a 9" pie pan
  • 1 ½ Pounds Frozen Blueberries, defrosted and drained (reserve juice for making the pie)
  • ½ Cup Blueberry juice (reserved from defrosted blueberries) (½ cup)
  • 3 Tablespoons Corn Starch
  • 3 Fluid Ounces Cold Water (for dissolving corn starch)
  • 5 Tablespoons Granulated Sugar
  • 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon

  • cup Granulated Sugar

Crumble topping

  • ¾ cup Light or dark brown sugar
  • ¾ cup Oatmeal
  • ¾ cup All-purpose flour
  • ½ cup Unsalted butter, room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 350° F.

Blueberry filling

  • Defrost and drain frozen blueberries. Reserve 4 fluid ounces (½ cup) of juice.
  • Add cornstarch to a small bowl and dissolve by whisking in 3 fluid ounces of cold water.
  • In a small bowl combine 4 ounces (⅔ cup) of sugar, 1 teaspoon of cinnamon and 1 teaspoon of salt.
  • Measure 2 ounces (5 tablespoons) of granulated sugar into a medium-sized saucepan.
  • Pour blueberry juice into saucepan with granulated sugar. Heat on medium-high heat, stirring occasionally until it begins boiling.
  • Lower the heat to medium. Add the cornstarch/water mixture to the pan and stir constantly until thick.
  • Add the sugar/cinnamon/salt to the pan and stir until the sugar is melted.
  • Remove pan from heat and let the slurry cool briefly.
  • Pour slurry over blueberries and fold until all the berries are coated.

Crumble Topping

  • Combine brown sugar, flour, oatmeal, butter and ground cinnamon in a bowl. Using your hands or a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment combine ingredients until it resembles coarse pieces.

Assembling the pie

  • Pour the blueberry filling into a pie pan lined with the dough of your choice. Evenly distribute the filling using an offset spatula.
  • Sprinkle the crumble topping over the blueberry filling. Press lightly to create a mound of topping in the center of the pie.

Baking the Pie

  • Place the pie on a cookie sheet or pie drip catcher and bake for 30 minutes. Check the pie after 20 minutes. If the crust is turning too dark, place a pie shield over the outer crust or wrap loosely in foil.
  • Remove from oven, place on a cooling rack and allow to cool completely before serving.
