This is delicious warm and even better after refrigerating! The custard like filling and crunchy topping are so complimentary. It is not your ordinary blueberry pie and is so simple to prepare.
Ingredients
Topping
- 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons white sugar
- 3 tablespoons chilled butter, cut into small pieces
- 2 teaspoons five-spice powder (Optional)
- 4 tablespoons chopped pecans
- 8 ounces sour cream
- ¾ cup sugar
- 1 egg
- 2 tablespoons flour
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 2 ½ cups fresh blueberries
- 1 (9 inch) unbaked pie crust
Directions
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
Step 2
Beat together sour cream, 3/4 cup sugar, egg, 2 tablespoons flour, vanilla extract and salt in a mixing bowl until smooth. Gently fold the blueberries into the sour cream mixture. Spoon the filling into the unbaked pie crust.
Step 3
Bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes.
Step 4
While the filling is baking, prepare the streusel crunch topping: In a medium bowl combine 3 tablespoons flour, 2 tablespoons sugar, and five-spice powder. Cut the cold butter into the flour mixture until crumbly. Fold in the chopped pecans. After the filling has baked 25 minutes, sprinkle the streusel crunch topping over the top of the pie.
Step 5
Bake until the topping is golden brown, about 15 additional minutes.

I made this exactly as written, and it was perfect. I brought it to a birthday party, and people raved and said that it was the best blueberry pie they’ve ever had! Please use fresh blueberries! Also, I only had whole pecans, so I ground them in the food processor, and the pieces ended up smaller than regular chopped pecans. Next time I will use half chopped pecans and half smaller pecans ground in the food processor–I think that will make a really crunchy topping! Thank you for a great recipe, it’s a keeper.

I just made this the other day and OMG it is delicious!. I wasn’t going to use the pecans because I didn’t have any but decided to wait a day and get a tiny bag in the baking section of the store. The crunch it gives to the topping is perfect. Wonderful with a little ice cream on top as well as plain. Definitely plan to make this again.

Fabulous and easy! I substituted vanilla yogurt for the sour cream (since I had none of that on hand), and the results were scrumptious! The taste and pop of the fresh berries comes through wonderfully…not overcooked, not mushy. The “custard” is light and smooth, not overly eggy (maybe that’s what the other reviewer expected). Great warm, but keeps nicely in the fridge. You can zap pieces in the micro to warm if desired. Put this together in a snap, all by hand. No need for the mixer.

Oustanding! Perfect texture and flavor – not overly sweet, full-on blueberry-ful. I increased the filling by 1/2 (using 1/2 of a beaten egg) to fill a deep-dish pie pan, so mine needed about 15 minutes longer baking time. This sets and slices beautifully when chilled (I didn’t serve any until I chilled it, so I’m not sure how it does warm). Thanks for the recipe!

This was incredibly simple to make and very delicious. The center wasn’t set at all when I pulled it out after 25 minutes to add the topping, so I baked for an additional 10 minutes before adding the topping. Also, one of my dinner guests is allergic to tree nuts, so I substituted brown sugar for the pecans, and it was still very flavorful and crunchy.

Very good and so easy to make. The fact that it calls itself a “custard” pie is misleading I think. There is only one egg and altho delish, it doesn’t have the typical custard consistency. I used almonds instead of pecans because that was all I had….I agree you need the nuts for the crunch on top. It was so lovely from the oven I took a picture of it!!

Excellent recipe as is. Have also played around: 1. used the crunch topping on other similar pies; 2. subbed meringue for crunch topping; 3. added a healthy size TBLS of lemon zest to cream filling (Lemon/blueberry combo is personal favorite). All great. Obviously, I’ve made this several times. The first time, it was gone in less than 24 hours. Made great breakfast! (It has fruit & eggs so it counts.)

I took this to a dinner party last night. Everyone loved it. The streusel on top was fantastic and really added to the over-all yumminess. I did make more streusel than called for, and toasted the pecans first. I cut the sugar in the pie down by a third. I’m not a sweet sweet lover and found this to be perfect. I served it with vanilla ice cream. I’ll definitely make it again.

Nice way to use up a bounty of blueberries. You can’t ask for an easier recipe, especially if you use a refrigerated pie crust. I baked it as directed and as others stated it didn’t test done, but I took it out anyway and it solidified on standing. I thought it was tasty–my husband loved it!

This is a great pie recipe. I made it for my parents and husband and all loved it! My husband said this is one of the best pies he has had and he doesn’t even like blueberry pies usually. He loved the consistency and that when you sliced into the pie, a whole piece came out and you didn’t lose any of the filling. I did add a bit of cinnamon to the filling and more to the topping. I just couldn’t see the topping without a little cinnamon. It worked well! Great recipe!

I have trouble rating this pie. For the first time I baked this pie with blueberries and it was a little bland, lack of blueberry flavor. Then I tried to make this pie with apples and it turned out fantastic. I used brown sugar with apples. Half of my pie was eaten less in 30 min. All I can say, thank you for my new applepie recipe.a

I loved this pie! I added a layer of rolled out almond paste to the raw pie dough before I filled it. This was the ticket to a yummier pie! I did have to bake it longer then it stated as well. I added crushed toasted almonds instead of the pecans and it was delish!! A scoop of vanilla and this is a real winner! MMM Fabulous:) Thank You Nonnie

I made this as one of my mom’s b-day pies. This has been getting a lot of attention on the RE and I’d been looking forward to trying it out. Our 6 year old niece deemed it her favorite of the 3 and everyone else seemed to enjoy it, too. I followed the recipe, though I did have to sub frozen blueberries for fresh due to seasonality. I also subbed almonds for pecans per personal preference. I have to rate it “4” because the baking time was substantially off for me. I baked per the recipe and when I went to pack the pie realized it was SUPER un-set, so I actually placed it back in the oven (for about 20 min) to set up. If I make this again, I will prob make 1.5X the amount of topping, too.

This is a very good pie! I made it with frozen blueberries (fresh are out of season here, and super expensive) and it turned out just fine. I really liked it, as did some of my siblings. My dad, however, preferred my usual blueberry pie recipe, so I suppose that this isn’t for everyone. Other than using the frozen berries, I made this exactly as written. If I make it again, I will probably use less vanilla and add some cinnamon to both the filling and topping. I felt that the combination of flavors and textures were awesome in this pie…the topping really made it special. Thanks for sharing the recipe!!!

I have my own blueberry bushes so I needed to use up what I had in the freezer before my new crop comes in this year. I made this last night and it was great. I had to cook about 10-15 minutes longer only because my berries were frozen. My husband loved it. This is definitely a keeper. The topping compliments the berries.

Absolutely the best dessert! I’ll be making this again and again. I used frozen blueberries, frozen pie crusts, omitted the pecans, and upped the flour/sugar to make up for the missing nuts. Amazing! I didn’t even dirty my mixer, just mixed by hand. Can I say more? My new favorite! UPDATE: I used a crust made of 6 oz cream cheese, 1 c. butter and 2 cups flour. Chill at least an hour or up to a week. Roll dough fairly thick and place in pan. Trim edge leaving an inch or so around. Fold under and flute edge so it stands up a bit to hold more filling. I doubled the filling and most of it fit. I baked the rest in a custard cup, lined with trimmed pie crust. The pie took quite a long time to bake – I’m guessing over an hour. Bake until the center is set, then top with crumble. The crumble seemed like it had too much butter, so I added about 2 T. more each of flour, sugar and pecans. Bake until browned – using the broiler if needed. The crust baked up nice and crisp.

This is really good. Just the right amount of sweetness and loads of blueberry flavor. And it was super easy to put together. I did use frozen berries since that is what I had on hand. Also the crumb topping that I made just kind of sunk down into the pie when I put it on top. Don’t think its the recipe, I have never been able to make a good crumb topping. 🙁 But it was good anyway 🙂

A SUPER easy, awesome dessert! Here are the things I did differently . . . 1. I used about 1 1/2 cups of fresh blueberries and about 1 cup of fresh blackberries. The store didn’t have enough blueberries 🙂 I cut the larger blackberries in half as well. I think that any combination of berry would have been great with this pie (as long as you don’t mind the seeds from the blackberries, etc). 2. Used a frozen (but thawed) 9 inch deep dish pie crust. I thought about increasing the filling but didn’t have enough sour cream so I just used the original amount. It worked out just fine! 3. Used lite sour cream. 4. I did use pecans for the topping but you really wouldn’t have to. I don’t know if I would add them again. 5. Covered the crust of my pie with tin foil so it wouldn’t burn after I add the crumble topping. Baked until the crumble topping was a golden brown and the center looked set — this took longer than the 15 minutes. 6. The pie was pretty good warm but AWESOME the next day cold.

A little different and very good. My son-in-law does not care for nuts in desserts so I substituted toffee bits for the pecans which made it a little sweeter but very nice flavor. Next time I’ll cut the sugar in the topping to balance it. I also baked it a bit longer to make the topping nice and crunchy and it was even after being refrigerated. Thanks for this recipe!

I took this to a 4th of July party and people raved about it. I followed the directions exactly except for the baking – mine took probably 15 min longer (10 longer for the first bake and then 5 longer for the topping). The only thing I’d do differently next time is make 2 pies!

This pie is absolutely fantastic, and so easy to make. I did not use pecans in the topping because some of my family doesn’t like nuts. Instead, I added another tablespoon of flour and another tablespoon of sugar. I also used 1/4 teaspoon of pumpkin pie spice in the topping. We ate the pie cold, but I’m sure it is great warm too. I will be making this again, and I may try apples, cherries, or raspberries another time too. Thanks for a quick, easy recipe.

I made this for my brother’s birthday because he loves blueberry pie. He thought this was great and everyone else did too. I made the recipe as directed, except I realized too late that I didn’t have any walnuts, so I followed the advice of another reviewer and subbed in brown sugar instead. It was amazing!

OH MY! This was heaven on a plate! I used a frozen pie crust and I changed the topping a little. I didn’t add pecans, but I did add 1 T. flour, 1 T. white sugar, 2 T. brown sugar and 2 T. oats…it made the perfect streusal topping. I had to bake the filling for 33 minutes and then 15 for the topping. I can’t wait to try other fruits with this!

Great Pie! I am on my 3rd version this summer. I have added more blueberries, used splenda and whole wheat pastry flour and lite sour cream…just delicious! None of my guests have ever suspected that I made it a bit healthier. I make Martha Stewarts “Easy Pie Crust”, just because I prefer a butter crust versus oil/shortening. TRY THIS RECIPE—EASY AND DELICIOUS FOR LESS SKILLED BAKERS! Thank you!

This was an awesome pie. It’s a lot quicker to get in the oven than a traditional blueberry pie and only dirties a mixing bowl, so I doubt I’ll even go the boil-with-cornstarch route anymore. It’s so creamy and refreshing with the dairy, and the fresh blueberry taste comes through perfectly. I’ll probably try with other fruit too. For my preference I’ll use brown sugar in the topping but that’s all I would change, thank you so much for sharing.

This was so quick and easy to make, as well as delicious. I didn’t slice it until it was chilled over night, and it sliced very well, but I imagine it wouldn’t do that when still warm. I used half blueberries, and half cherries because we like that fruit combination. Will make this again.

I made this exactly as written except I used a pie shield for the entire baking time. I cooled it at room temperature and then refrigerated it overnight before serving with a little RediWip. I got five big thumbs-up from my guests. I’ll definitely make this pie again soon. Thanks for sharing this recipe, Baker Betty.

This is delicious! I had to use plain low-fat yogurt instead of sour cream, and frozen blueberries-but had no problems with the pie setting up, though it had to bake 45 minutes total. I didn’t have pecans, so I processed brown and white sugars with the other ingredients plus a graham cracker. The result was very tasty, and visually pleasing. I didn’t have to add all of the topping since I wanted some of the filling to be visible. The topping browned very quickly- and I had to cover the edges with foil for the last 15 or so minutes or the crust would have burned. This is very easy and well worth the effort! I will definitely make this again. Thank you, Baker Beth!

This is a VERY nice blueberry pie! I wasn’t so sure, but gave it a try and will definitely make this again. I did use less sugar in the filling, and only 2 T butter in the topping (and it was still too much, I think), so because adjustments were necessary I dropped it from 5 stars to 4.
