Fresh Blueberry Pie

This recipe came from an estate sale. I obtained it when I purchased the family collection from the McLean Estate in Irving, Texas in 1982.

Ingredients

Method

1
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Place the 9-inch unbaked pie shell on a baking sheet.
2
In a medium bowl, combine ⅓ cup flour, ½ cup sugar, and ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon. Mix until blended.
3
Add the 4½ cups fresh blueberries and 1 tablespoon lemon juice to the flour mixture. Gently toss until the blueberries are evenly coated.
4
Pour the blueberry mixture into the prepared pie shell, spreading it in an even layer.
5
In a separate bowl, mix together ½ cup firmly packed brown sugar and 1 cup flour until combined.
6
Cut ½ cup butter into small cubes and add to the brown sugar and flour mixture. Using a pastry cutter or fork, work the butter into the mixture until it resembles coarse breadcrumbs with small clumps remaining.
7
Sprinkle the streusel topping evenly over the blueberry filling, covering it completely.
8
Bake for 45 minutes until the topping is golden brown and the filling is bubbly around the edges.
