Fresh Blueberry Pie This Fresh Blueberry Pie can be made with fresh or frozen berries. The streusel topping adds extra texture and flavor.Which do you prefer – a fruit crisp or a fruit pie? On one hand I love a fruit crisp because I love the streusel like topping that goes on top of it. I love the sweet crunchiness of it. On the other hand I love a good pie too and a nice buttery, flaky crust. Well, with today’s recipe I no longer have to choose one over the other. I can have both in one amazing fresh blueberry pie I started with my Perfect Pie Crust to make a flaky, buttery crust. When I make a fruit pie I like to par bake my crust to keep them from getting soggy from the liquid the berries make when they are cooked. Just bake your crust at 350 degrees F for 5 minutes before filling it with fruit. I also add flour and corn starch in with the fruit to cut down on the liquid. No one likes a soupy pie!And then the crowning glory – the streusel topping. Now you could always add a pastry crust to the top if you like but one crust on the bottom is enough for me and I love the texture of the streusel topping. Bake the pie until the crust is golden brown and the streusel topping is nice and brown too. I let the pie cool for a while so it sets up a bit.As far as I’m concerned any and all berry pies must be served topped with a nice big scoop of vanilla ice cream – required! Thanks to some lemon juice and lemon zest, this blueberry pie has a nice fresh lemon hint to it. If you aren’t a lemon fan you can leave it out or just cut down on the amount. I think blueberries and lemons are a perfect combination.
