Blueberry Crumble Pie

Blueberry Crumble Pie – made with fresh, sweet blueberries topped with a crispy crumble all baked up in a wonderful summer pie. A must make for your ripe blueberries!

It’s been a while since I rolled out dough and filled it with nature’s best fruits.  With all those wonderful berries ripening under the hot summer sun … well, I couldn’t help myself.  Berries and pie are “made-for-each-other.”

My new favorite Saturday morning adventure starts at Miller Farms Market where you pick your owns fruits and soon there’ll be sweet summer corn too.  You may remember I recently picked more than 20 pounds of strawberries and made numerous recipes, froze a bunch and even shared with my son and daughter-in-law.  When Miller Farms said the blueberries and raspberries were ready, I had to go back.  Blackberries should be ripe in a few more weeks and I plan to take helpers with me next time!
