Instructions
Prepare The Pie Crust
If making from scratch, in a mixing bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, and salt.
Cut in cold butter using a pastry cutter or fork until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. You can also use a food processor. Just pulse until it resembles coarse crumbs.
Gradually add ice water, mixing just until the dough comes together. Shape into a disk, wrap in plastic wrap, and chill for 30 minutes.
Preheat the oven to 375°.
Roll out the chilled dough on a lightly floured surface and fit it into a 9-inch pie plate. Trim and crimp the edges as desired. Use a fork to poke holes over the bottom of the crust.
Line the crust with a piece of parchment paper and fill with pie weights or dry beans. Bake the crust for 15 minutes. Remove the pie weights and cool for 20 minutes.
If using a premade crust, fit it into the pie plate and set aside.
Make The Blueberry Pie Filling
In a large bowl, combine blueberries, sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice, lemon zest, vanilla extract, and salt. Stir until evenly coated.
Pour the blueberry filling into the prepared pie crust.
Prepare The Crumb Topping
In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, brown sugar, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and lemon zest.
Pour in the melted butter and mix with a fork until crumbs form.
Sprinkle the crumb topping evenly over the blueberry filling.
Bake The Pie
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
Place the pie on a baking sheet to catch any spills and bake for 45-55 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the blueberry filling is bubbling.
If the crust edges brown too quickly, cover them with foil or a pie shield.
Cool and Serve
Let the pie cool for at least 2 hours before slicing to allow the filling to set.
Optional: Serve with vanilla ice cream for the perfect finishing touch.
