This is one of my favorite pies–not too sweet, good hot or cold, with or without ice cream. Plus, it’s easy to make.
Ingredients
- 3 cups fresh blueberries
- 1 (9 inch) deep dish pie crust
For the Streusel
- ½ cup white sugar
- ½ cup all-purpose flour
- ¼ cup butter
For the Custard
- 1 cup white sugar
- 1/3 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/8 teaspoon salt

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Place the blueberries in the pastry shell and set aside.
Step 2
Combine 1 cup sugar, 1/3 cup flour, and salt. Add eggs and sour cream, stirring until blended. Pour the sour cream custard over the blueberries.
Step 3
In another bowl, combine 1/2 cup sugar and 1/2 cup flour. Cut in the butter with pastry blender until the mixture resembles coarse meal. Sprinkle the topping over the sour cream mixture and berries in the pie shell.

Best tasting Blueberry pie I have ever made! Almost too much stuff for a 9 inch shell to hold so I added 1 C more blueberries, increased the flour in the sour cream mixture to 1/2 cup and then I put it into a 10 inch deep dish shell.
I am making my second one this week as it goes so fast I don’t get seconds myself! -

I should have written this review last year after I first tried it. This is simply superb! The best, and now only, blueberry pie that I make. My MIL, who is the best pie baker I’ve ever met, even said that she wouldn’t be able to tell it from one of her’s! Thank you so much for this recipe!

I give this 5 stars as a sugar free pie. As I have a diabetic relative, I made it crustless and substituted pourable Splenda. It had a nice taste without being too sweet. I used sugar free frozen, unthawed blueberries right from a bag, which was fine. I did have to cook my pie for about 1 hour and 10 minutes to get the top a little browned. Maybe this was because I’d used the frozen blueberries. As I used a 10″ pie dish (I was afraid it might bubble over) and didn’t use a crust, the pie wasn’t high. I still enjoyed the taste. I may experiment with adding more blueberries.

I’m 16 years old and this was one of my first attempts at pie making. Not only is this recipe easy, but it also tastes great. My suggestion for those trying this recipe for the first time- easy on the sugar.It will overpower the taste of te pie. Instead use a little more sour cream(I used light sour cream for nutritional purposes) in the wet mixture. For the dry topping mixture I added a few dashes of cinnamon,2 tbs more of butter and didnt use all of the mixture.It made all the difference. Make sure you bake the pie about 10 minutes longer then the recipe calls for so the crust turns golden brown and the pie stays together when cutting it later.There are 6 people in my family and most of them picky eaters-this pie satisfied everyones taste and I am definately making this again.

Absolutely DELICIOUS, and very easy to make. I’ve made this pie several times, and everyone raves about it. I do cut back on the sugar a little (3/4 cup and 1/3 cup instead of 1 cup and 1/2 cup) and bake it longer (until it begins to turn golden brown on the top). We like it best served warm, not hot or cold. I’ve tried many blueberry pie recipes, and this one is the best!

This pie is delicious, regardless of whether you eat it cold, at room temperature, or warmed in the oven (our favorite). I added an extra cup of blueberries so didn’t cut back on the sugar in the filling, used 3/4 cup of sour cream, and added a bit of grated lemon peel (one lemon). I put a bit less sugar in the topping as some people suggested, and added 1/2 tsp. of cinnamon. We didn’t find the topping too crunchy at all…it was perfect. I baked the pie at 400? for 20 minutes, then reduced the temperature. It didn’t require any additional baking time. This recipe is definitely a keeper and I think you could use it for raspberries and cherries as well.

This is the best, and only, bueberry pie I make. My husband declared it the best pie he ever had, shared with his mom, who declared it the best SHE ever had. She shared with HER mom, who declared it the best SHE ever had. I added a sprinkle of cinnamon, and a few drops of lemon juice. Perfect! And I never liked blueberry pie. Thanks!!

We have made this one many times. Turns out GREAT every time and always a big hit. Used the “French Pastry Pie Crust” this last time and was so easy & the crust stayed very flakey even a few days later, even when reheated in the microwave. We will never go back to “store bought cursts.”

This is a GREAT recipe. I use 4 cups of Blueberries in a 9″ deep dish. I have made this many times and the last time for Thanksgiving I used the French Pasty Pie Crust [from this site]. Everyone loved it and even 3 days later a piece of the left over pie crust was very flaky when taken out of the Microwave.

I love this pie – it was so easy. I did use less sugar in the cream mixture (about 3/4 of a cup). And I used half brown sugar, half white sugar in the topping – which was delicious. Next time I might use almost all brown sugar for the topping. Using thawed and drained frozen blueberries wasn’t a problem.

I made this tonight and realized just at this moment that I used a 10″ deep dish plate and not a 9″ inch plate. I expected the inside of the pie to be a little creamy, but it wasn’t. That may have been because of the size of the pie plate I used. Could someone who has made this pie tell me what the texture of the inside of the pie should be like? Also, I had trouble getting the top to brown. My crust was getting very brown, while the top of the pie remained pale. I covered the crust with foil, and baked a little longer, but the top still did not brown enough. Did anyone else have that trouble?

This was an easy pie to make and so yummy!! Used one pint of fresh blueberries, cut back on the sugar to 3/4 cup–that worked out great. Also on the topping I used 1/2 white and brown sugar with a dash of cinnamon—what a terrific idea to give it extra flavor and make the house smell wonderful!! The pie was a big hit with my husband, we enjoyed it warmed up in the microwave for 20 seconds the next day. Will certainly make this again!!!

OH MY!!! Absolutely delicious! I had friend over for a cook out last night, and wanted a great summer pie recipe. I thought of blueberry, but my husband doesn’t like plain blueberry pie-too sweet. If this is you, you MUST try this recipe. It has a wonderful blueberry flavor without being too sweet. I did have to double the crumbly mixture for the top. Thanks for an excellent recipe I will make again and again. My sister in lae even made me print her a copy to take with her!!!!

This pie rated 5 stars warm from the oven and served with vanilla ice cream but the next day my Mom and Aunt said that it was very good but they liked my pumpkin pie better. I did cut the sugar by half in the pie (still sweet enough) and used half brown sugar and half white sugar for the topping. Three to four little boxes of blueberries will work nicely. The french pastry pie crust recipe (reviewer recommendation) was great . Just remember this is NOT exactly blueberry pie … enjoy it more as a blueberry custard dessert .

Absolutely wonderful recipe. I served it over 4th of July weekend at a family reunion and it got rave reviews. I added 3/4 of sour cream instead of the 1/2 cup and for the topping used 1/4 white and 1/4 brown sugar plus a teaspoon of cinnamon. Delicious! I’ll definitely be making this again!

I was looking for blueberry recipes when I came across this. I didn’t have any shortening or pie crusts on hand, so I just made the filling in an 8×8 baking dish and baked it like a cobbler. It was easy and delicious. The only thing I would change next time is maybe add a little vanilla to the sour cream mixture, and toss the berries in a little lemon juice to bring out their brightness. I liked this recipe so much I substituted thinly sliced nectarines (tossed in a little lemon juice) for the berries and made the “cobbler” again!

What a great recipe! I’ve made it twice, once with blueberries, and recently with apples (I did improvise with cinnamon, nutmeg, and vanilla for the latter). This recipe brings the best of a pie and cobbler together; the flavor is great, and it is truly simple to make. Thanks so much!

The best blueberry pie! I decreased sugar to 3/4 cup in the cream mixture and used combination of brown and white sugar for the topping. It turned out great but I think I might try all brown sugar for the topping next time; it was bit crunchy. I served it to 11 people at a dinner party with some ice cream on top and they all loved it. Not too sweet, just perfect they said. Thanks for the great recipe!

Very good! Made this for the first time for Thanksgiving. Was a hit! I couldn’t find fresh blueberries to save my soul, so I used frozen. Thawed and drained them in a collander first so the pie wouldn’t be too soupy. And I can’t stand “cutting in” dough. Just a pet peeve of mine, so I used the food processor. Easy and good. Thanks for sharing!

This is fantastic! This pie completely blew away all of my American friends who have been making and eating blueberry pies all their lives! Several times, while trying to make this recipe a little more heart-friendly, I used light sour cream, light brown sugar, as well as soft baking butter with canola oil. Turned out very good indeed! I highly recommend this recipe as this pie is very easy to make and even seasoned and experienced pie connoisseurs will love it!

This pie came out tasting like two different desserts. If I make this recipe again, I would use less of the cream/egg mixture and more blueberries. I would also mix cream/egg in with the blueberries instead of spooning it on top. I assumed the mixture would sink to the bottom and coat all the blueberries, but it must’ve been too thick to do so and baked on top of the blueberries. The product looked very nice. And the “two desserts” tasted good, but they probably would have tasted better combined as one.

We liked this, but I’m not sure I’d make it again. (Maybe if I had only one crust, as I did this time.) It tasted good, but I’m discovering that I don’t like the texture of flour as a thickener in fruit pies. The crumble topping was too crunchy/hard for me, although my husband liked it. We both found the pie to be too sweet.

I made this last night, and it was awesome. I did make a change however, since my boyfriend is morally opposed to the mere existence of sour cream, let alone putting it into something he might eat. I was trying to think of what I could use in place of the sour cream and decided to use a container of lemon yogurt that I had on hand, plus a good squirt of lemon juice. Came out great!
I did decide to mix the cream (or in my case, yogurt)/egg mixture in with the blueberries and put a regular crust on top, instead of the crumbly mixture. The egg mixture did mostly sink to the bottom. Nonetheless, it was VERY yummy. 🙂 -

This was good, for a change. I think I prefer regular blueberry pie to this. If I make this again, I would probably add a bit of lemon juice. I like my pies a little more tart. I would also try brown sugar instead of white to try for a richer flavor. Maybe needs more topping too. Don’t get me wrong, this was a good pie, but it needs a little something to make it 5 star, in my opinion.

This is a fabulous recipe!!! Super easy, it probably went together in 5 or 10 minutes! I like sweet pies, so I made a few changes for my sweet tooth. I used a deep dich pie plate, and a homemade dough that I had in the freezer. I increased the blueberries to about 4 cups, used half white and half brown sugar in the sour cream mix, and doubled the topping. I also added about 2 tablespoons of turbinado sugar sprinkled on top – that made it crispy and delicious. Definitely five star!

I’m only giving this four stars because I felt like the sour cream mixture detracted from the pie. I would definitely make this again but without the that part. The crunchy topping was good, the berries were good and amazingly my crust was good but the sour cream part was kinda yucky.

I thought this was a great change to the traditional blueberry pie; it reminded me of an apple crisp, but with blueberries. I used the canola pie crust on this website and used brown sugar in my topping instead of white sugar. Out of the oven, warm with the crumbled topping and vanilla ice cream–Yum! thanks Susan for sharing….

I would really give this 4.5 stars, because while it isn’t the “best” blueberry pie I’ve ever had… but it certainly is quick and easy and tasty to boot! Like other reviewers, I also cut back on the sugar in the cream mixture (to 3/4 cup) and in the topping (to 1/3 cup) – this was just sweet enough for me. I like the crunch of the white sugar on top, but next time I might try a mixture of white and brown sugar, like others have suggested. I did use frozen blueberries – just thawed and rinsed – they work just fine. The cooking time is more like 60+ minutes if you really want the top to start to brown a bit. Another plus is that it cuts well and retains shape on the dessert plate!

well my dad made the first one but we didnt get to taste because my sister had to take a pie to school thats why we made it but apparently her school thought it was delicious and then me and my dad made it together and when it came out it was soup so we let it sit in the fridge overnight when we woke up it was a little thicker and later in the day it reached a gooey consistency but my dad swore it wasnt thick enough so he cooked for a little longer after he did it would not thicken at all now (being him) he’s making some sort of cobbler with it we did take a spoon and try the soup one time and it was still pretty good but next time we’re gonna cut down the sugar
