Tips:

  • To make the perfect crust, use a food processor to combine the flour, sugar, and salt. Then, add the butter and pulse until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Add the ice water one tablespoon at a time until the dough just comes together. Form the dough into a ball, wrap it in plastic, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
  • When rolling out the dough, use a lightly floured surface and a rolling pin. Roll the dough out to a 12-inch circle and then transfer it to a 9-inch pie plate. Trim the edges and flute the crust.
  • To make the blueberry filling, combine the blueberries, sugar, lemon juice, and cornstarch in a large bowl. Toss to coat the blueberries evenly.
  • Pour the blueberry filling into the prepared pie crust. Dot the top of the filling with butter.
  • To make the crumb topping, combine the flour, sugar, butter, and oats in a medium bowl. Use your fingers to work the ingredients together until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Sprinkle the crumb topping evenly over the blueberry filling.
  • Bake the pie for 45-50 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling. Let the pie cool for at least 1 hour before serving.
